"I just recieved an issue of your awesome magazine !!! My first issue might I add. Boy am I ever glad it was mailed to me. It is full of so much information and great stories, I sat down to just browse thru it and ended up pouring another cup of coffee and thoroughly reading the entire magazine this
morning !!!! It felt great to take the time for my self and have such an enjoyable magazine to read that was uplifting and so wonderful. Thank you so much. I just moved here in May of 2006 to Cartersville from Deltona Florida, which is between Daytona Beach and Orlando, and I had lived there 30 yrs before coming to live here. And in all the years I lived in the same town we never had a magazine or anything like your magazine. And our town population is as large as the county of bartow. It would have been nice to have had something like this in my old hometown. But now as I call Cartersville my hometown it is just superb that you all put out such a quality magazine. My daughter loved your magazine too. It is nice to see a kids section I don't know of any magazine that has that and it is really special." ~ Mrs. Mary Baker

The main mistake I noticed in this edition is on the Restaurant of the Month page. It is wheelbarrow Taxi, (not wheelbarrel). Also some of the pages are so dark, I can't read the stories on them. I appreciate the magazine, I enjoy getting it and reading it every month." ~ Ms L. Brannen

"I picked up your magazine today at the library and of course it was amazing. I come across something interesting in every issue, weather it be a story that moves me and truly touch's my soul or something that can be of some help with my health or one that makes me say FINALLY someone did it! I am eager to see what's in next months issue as you cant image just how en lighting some of the columns have been for me. You have a special gift and God has put you where you are needed. You seem to find that special little something that I need and place it in that perfect spot as if it was just for me to come across, I know it my sounds strange but that's how I feel, and I want to say THANK YOU & keep up the amazing job your doing." ~ Patricia Knight

"I was thrilled to see PHWD featured on your front cover of the December Buzz Kidz. But I was soon displeased to see an obvious misspelling (Natvity instead of Nativity). In the real estate business the mantra is "location, location, location". In the media world the mantra is "copy edit, copy edit, copy edit". May I offer a constructive criticism. Use a spell check when writing your material. Then have someone else look over you material. The more people the better. A new set of eyeballs can reveal much. Otherwise, keep up the nice work!" ~ Troy Jordan

I look forward to your next issue." ~ Shirley Wynkoop

I plan to keep it in my car, so I can finish reading it when I take the kids to soccer practice. There are several new businesses in town that I had not heard of before that I plan on visiting. I also love getting information on prayer groups, volunteer organizations and other upcoming information around Cartersville. Now I don't have to search it out anymore, it's right at my fingertips. I know people don't take time anymore to give thanks for the little things in life, but I felt led to let you know we appreciate all the work you've done to make a magazine as well thought out and informative as this one is!
