I also like this song.

Hi Lance,
After a long time. I had my exams and missed ‘jungle of life’ a lot.
The very first day i came to read this blog I was impressed by your attitudes which could be clearly seen on every post. On that day onwards I read almost every post. So wanted to tell you ” me too here standing by you my friend”.
starting my Sunday here as ALWAYS.…

Hi Lance,
My mom asked me to pull this up a little whiles back and it is just as brilliant watching it again. Thank you for this. It is a pleasure to stand by you.
I look forward to hearing of your many successes. I love the joy, information, thoughts and validation you share here. Hope you are having a beautiful weekend.

Hi Lance — it’s a pleasure to “stand by you”.
Frank and I love this video and the others that these people have made — we bought the DVD.
.-= Robin´s Last Fabulous Post ..An Eventful Month =-.
Great video! When someone is as caring, giving, understanding, and just plain fun as you, it is only too easy to stand by you. To not stand by you would be like hating your job being a taster in a dark chocolate factory.…you just can’t do it. Besides, you have stood by me in so many, many ways that I can’t express. Big Hug!
It is my honor to stand by you inside this large circle we call the blogosphere.
.-= Stacey / Create a Balance´s Last Fabulous Post ..Revive Your Life! =-.
Hi Lance, I bought this DVD after seeing it on You tube, every time I play it it brings a tear to my eye, music is the GLUE, no matter where you are, or where you go, someone is thinking about you.
Take care my friend
Frank

I second Miz’s comment.
Your warmth, love and gentle wisdom shine through this blog, which is one of the many reasons I love it.
Thanks for what you do, and who you are.

Lance.…you have no idea how much support I (we) get from you every Sunday. It’s the perfect start of the week and usually .…always, sets me up to be a more positive, accepting, and loving person all week long.

Thank You.

Are you kidding Lance?!?!?! Standing by you is one of the easiest things I’ve had to do. I’m not gonna tell you how inspiring you are because I would be repeating myself. You are a remarkable person, a gift to your family and your readers. This is one blog that I will always read. Oh, and the video. My first time seeing it. It was characteristically humbling. I hate when you do that. (smile)

I’m imagining quite a large crowd has gathered by now Lance. Well, no worries… I’ll try not to step on anyone’s toes while I make my way through the crowd. Thanks for being YOU! Hugs.
Lance, that is sooooo moving. We should plan something like that for all us bloggers. Now what song would be good… I’m kind of partial to I’ve Been Working On The Railroad (yes, all the live-long day!) I’ll take the first verse okay. You join in next. In the key of A at about 126 bpm okay?

As I was heading to England on Thursday, I programmed my thought for tomorrow last Wednesday. It’s not the same, and yet it kinda is. Plus, what I used also made an appearance in one of our sessions yesterday!

I’m smiling too… Thank you for continuing to be here in this place, and for all you do to support me!
@Stephen — Stephen, I’m not sure what it was either, although I think it may have something to do with the message this song gives out — one that is so much connected to us being there for each other. And that’s a message that is uplifting and healing, very much, in my book. Stephen, I very much appreciate having you here. Thank you!
@Nadia — Nadia, you have been such a wonderful gift here. Thank you! So, what you’re saying is very special to me — and it goes both ways — I feel this so much about you as well.

Lance,
What a wonderful following you have. I first came across your Sunday thought for the day through LinkedIn (I think) and from that point forward have frequented your site and found the content to be inspiration and motivating. In a time of my life when inspiration and motivation was particularily important you made a bigger impact then I think you can imagine. Reading through these comments makes me think I am not the only one whose life you have impacted in a positive fashion…
So, on behalf of me and all of your regular readers, THANK YOU, Lance!
