"Blissful, riveting, heartbreaking, fearful, painful, encouraging, inspiring...” S.G., Vancouver, BC
"I sat down on Saturday to 'thumb through' the book - and 4.5 hours later I finished the last page. I was filled with emotion, love and hope. Such an amazing story, told with the grace and passion of a true artist... I admire your journey, courage and class!"

"Colleen: Your book INHALE was a great read that touched me deeply with your mastery of lyric and prose to take us inside your life of trial, trauma and terror with the man plagued by narcisicism and mental illness.
I was captivated by your amazing ability to remain calm while feeling such a torrent of emotions and fear that life could easily go sideways at a moments notice. Your amazing vulnerability and vivid descriptions kept me reading, longing for your escape, release and safety! In answer to the question, "Why did you stay?" I clearly saw the answer- You stayed so you could eventually leave in peace, dignity and safety.
Thank you for sharing this journey. So many others will benefit by your courage, determination and bravery as you faced each day and each moment constantly thinking of your precious children and the final goal of reuniting with their precious beings. this is an excellent book for anyone struggling with the impact of loneliness, fear, abuse, mental illness and deep longing for release from the stranglehold of one whose mental state is incapable of compassion, introspection or empathy. Feel free to use this as you wish, Colleen." Annette Stanwick www.annettestanwick.com

Speaking Testimonials
"I will forever treasure your words of seeing me and all the other presenters. You are beautiful, smart, sexy, brave, playful, authentic, strong in your vulnerability. You had me in the palm of your hand, every second you spoke. And then when you began to sing my heart leapt into my throat, as it does when I am moved, and stayed there until you sang the last note. You are a treasure. Keep on singing and being you. Yes, to setting those black balloons free. In love and gratitude."
