A sampling of letters from readers, leaders, and conference attendees . . .
"Marcia, I have not written before but really appreciate your practical tips, and employ many of them myself. . . Thank you for
your practical down home, wifely and womanly and motherly advice, and taking time to be available to those that would
appreciate gleaning from you . . . You are so easy to read, and seem like a comfortable person to be around." ~Nancy
"She writes such practical stuff, like how to do the laundry, but the articles are somehow uplifting as well as informative."
~Cindy
"You are such an inspiration to so many people. I know you have been for me, and I really don’t even know you...but feel like I
do. I pray that God would bring out all that wisdom out of you this weekend at the HS conference. You are so practical and real.
So God bless you in blessing all of us mommies." ~Tobi.
"The Kingdom of God is advancing and expanding due in part to your work!!" ~Bill
"Marcia, I have wanted to send you a quick note for quite a while to thank you (actually let you know I thank God for you) and
your godly example and encouragement for us wet-behind-the-ears moms.
"I am a mother of 4 boys (with baby number 5 on the way...don't know gender yet) and feel like I am walking in the same path
you have. I really appreciate the MANY things you have said on organization, child training and general "how boys work/living
with boys" articles and sessions you have given at the CHEC conferences. Thank you for being willing to write and teach every
year. I am always inspired and encouraged, even if I have heard you speak on the same topic before. It always is fresh to me
and reminds me what my real goals and priorities are. Even though we don't personally know each other I feel you are, for lack
of better words, a "kindred spirit." I am so thankful for your real example as you have lived out Christ's plan for you as a
homeschooler and that you have been willing to share it all for His glory and others' growth. "Know that you are thought of and
prayed for as you continue to love your men (although they will always be boys) and invest yourself in so many people’s lives!"
~Lorrie
"Marcia, what a blessing it's been getting to know you. It's not everyday that God has you cross paths with someone special.
Your encouragement alone has truly blessed me. No one quite knows what another might be going thru, however God always
knows who will be a blessing. That's what you've been to me! I am so thankful that you were so easy to work with, and right
from the start you were encouraging me and praying for our conference. Honestly I've not worked with anyone like yourself.
~Michele Herrera (Speaker Coordinator for 2008 Central Coast Home Education Conference, Santa Maria, CA)
"Marcia Washburn was the featured speaker at our 2004 annual homeschool convention in Wyoming. As the state-wide
Christian support group in Wyoming, H.O.W. desires to bring speakers that will inspire, encourage, and inform attendees in their
vision for homeschooling. Marcia has had many years of practical hands on experience with homeschooling five sons and
serving in leadership for much of that time. More so, Marcia, with her warm and personable presentations seemed to reach and
touch the hearts of homeschooling moms. Marcia made herself easily available to answers questions and offer encouragement
to anyone who approached her. We would highly recommend Marcia as a speaker."~Ron and Debby Becker
"Thank you so much for speaking to our group last Thursday night. We truly appreciate the effort you went to, to bring so
much information, experience and knowledge to our group. We all enjoyed you thoroughly and are looking at scheduling another
workshop in the near future." ~Anne
"Thank you so much for sharing with me your articles on disciplining children. . . I have done a great deal of reading about
how to raise children, but I say this with all honesty, I have read few things as forthright and biblically based (with many years
of practical experience) as what I read in your articles. I have never heard of a Parenting Manual, but it is a wonderful idea,
and I have begun mine this morning. I have often felt I needed to spend more time studying in the Bible about parenting, but
have been unable to get a handle on how to keep track of it in a practical, easily used format." ~Deb
"I listened to a tape of yours from 2001 or 2002 on setting priorities. This gave me the help I needed to support a friend who is
having troubles in this area, and as soon as I see her I'm loaning her the tape! What a blessing it was to hear your words of
wisdom on this subject." ~Paula
