Dear Susun,
I talked to you last night about my questions regarding nettle root tea. Thanks for your advice, I was so pleased to have the opportunity to speak with you.
I had a dream last night that a wise woman was floating an herbal pharmacy in the sky towards me at my homestead in Minnesota. I returned here just two weeks ago from Arizona, and have been in green bliss since arriving.
You made me realize that my fear of helping pregnant women and children, as a result of my training at the naturopathic college, needs to be overcome. I thought I could avoid it by just helping women like me - baby boomers - with the expectation that they would then help their daughters and grandchildren.
…
Thank you so much...you've been such an inspiration to me ever since my breast cancer diagnosis almost ten years ago.
Floating some green blessings back your way,
Peggy

Hey Susun!
We met in Anchorage many moons ago at a midwifery conference I had just bought the Menopause Years. Big help and great information. Healing Wise has been my favorite resource for a long time. I've been busily harvesting dandelions for weeks (My neighbors all think I'm nuts. I like to annoy them by giving them dandelion soap for holiday gifts)
I'm looking forward to your newsletter.
Thanks so much for your books.

Dear Susun,
you came into my life a few years ago.
I am sitting here tonight after 3 days of feeling sick with headaches, fatigue, short temper
with my sweet children, 3 days of headaches pills, and in a short moment of clearness, have made a decision to stop this insanity of pills and find a natural way to fight this tormenting pain.
I know your time is precious, but I am sitting here, crying and sobbing, because I feel I have just found my calling. As many times as I have been on your site, it just hit me like a brick. I yearn to attend one of your workshops (which is where I was browsing), but being in California and in the midst of financial turmoil, that will have to be on "wishlist" to the universe. All of a sudden, my head is clear (and my sinuses are running). I just wanted to share with you that you have touched a soul, and I will be signing up for your Green Witch course. It is my calling, and I think I have finally found the first stepping stone to my path. For the last few years I have felt like a gypsy caged up in suburbia, with something calling me day & night, but I don't where from where.
Thank you.
Warmest Greetings
Heike

Dear Susun,
I can hardly believe that I am writing to you -- your words have guided me
always - and perhaps, not to sound too corny or dramatic -- changed my life
for the better BIG time.
I just read the above menopause article. How wonderful I now feel, once
again, because of your wise words.
…
Love,
Eileen

The Susun Weed Archives is my newfound sanctuary on the internet. I am going to start growing a tea garden of red clover, comfrey, oat straw, and nettles to give my health a boost. This is just the beginning for my weed wandering.

Hi Susun Weed,
I have registered for your Green Witch correspondence course. I have chosen to take this course because I would like to foster a deeper connection to nature through the plant world, to deepen my faith in my innate wisdom, to further come to know the woman I am, and because I feel that this is the natural next step of my journey. I am pleased to invite you to share the road with me for the next few miles.
Thanks and blessed be,
Megan

Dear Susun,
I have had your wonderful menopause book for 20 yrs and in the midst of my change for 8 yrs, it's a constant companion for me. I am in a different part of it, more honoring and wiser and going through it with alot more support from a naturopath in my area and Ayurvedic layers woven in with my yoga practice.
…
I also eventually will buy some copies for my women friends embarking on their meno-journey.
Thank you and aloha,
Janice

Dear Susun,
I read with great empathy your fervent article "Say NO to Licensing Herbalists". I have passed your site (with the editorial) on to my eclectic group of Wildcrafters/ Pagans/ Goddess Worshippers / Witches.
Thank you for all you're doing for women and for Gaia.
