“My Grandmother hadn’t been herself in a while. She always made me happy. I didn’t know how, or even if I could - help her. Richard told me low self-esteem ran in my family; mostly in the women. When I saw how I could reverse it in myself, I dressed better, bought a new hairstyle, worked on my weight and posture, etc. I liked how happy it made me feel. People are to me nicer now. My Grandmother improved over the next three weeks. When I asked her about it, she said, ‘Seeing you happy makes me feel good.’ I am so happy. She is my miracle.”

"I was to have old scar tissue surgically removed that was causing me severe pain and immobility. My doctor told me the possibility of cancer was probable. I was of course concerned beyond measure. I was introduced by my best friend, Cindy, to Richard. We talked about fear in depth. Understanding that I actually had a choice in the matter, not to be afraid, I promised to make a list of all the things in my life that made me happy. I used my list for constant comfort. Surgery went fine. There was no cancer. I ran into PJ at a Saint Patrick’s Day gathering, two years later. We hugged and smiled. I thanked him and said, ‘There really was nothing to be afraid of’."

"I saw and spoke to Richard while I was downtown. I told him I wished he could do something to help my situation. My lower back was in pain. I was going to have a massage but PJ recommended I absolutely not do that. He said, 'Don't let anyone touch you until you have your back ex-rayed with a spinal physician present. The diagnosis was Stenosis. If somebody had of touched me the wrong way I would have been paralyzed. Coincidence or not, I appreciated his advice."

"I talked with Richard over the phone, from Los Angeles. I had just come from the Gym. “You need to put ice on that shoulder,” he said. For us it was a game. He would pinpoint every pain I had. My real need though, was my career. I was an aspiring actor in Hollywood. It was a challenge and my dream was to be living large, working in film. Money wasn’t the problem. I worked full time at a marketing company. I just wanted to be famous. After many conversations, it all boiled down to what level of dignity I truly desired in life. Over time, dignity became more important to me, than acting. I now have my own company, a new house and a beautiful girlfriend. The back yard is big enough for two dogs. Corny or not, when they get here I’m going to call the girl dog, ‘Emmy’ and the boy dog, ‘Oscar’. Surely that’s never been done."

"I am a woman truck driver. My boyfriend who drives a separate rig was supposed to meet me in Denver, for breakfast. He was a no show and he wasn’t answering his phone. I was truly very worried because he had to drive mountain roads to get there. I called Richard. ’Let me take a look,’ he said. My phone rang. Richard told me where my boyfriend was, and that he was alright. My boyfriend called thirty minutes later. While an accident was being cleared from the highway, he had pulled off the road to take a nap. He slept there for three hours; never hearing his phone. You can’t imagine how relieved I was."
