“Bravo and YES, please do more documentaries such as this. The transformation planned is so wonderful to see and inspiring for many to take a look at their environments that may have buildings that are waiting for a special touch to re-purpose and come alive again. Bravo, Sandra!”

“That was fabulous, Sandra! I have “goosebumps” for the interest and excitement you generated in your conversations. You were so eloquent and poised. I admire you so! Congratulations! I am so happy for you! I am happy for Amsterdam, too! It’s almost like a little self-contained open-space Mastermind is soon to emerge there in Market space. So exciting! Thank-you for sharing!”
