Reader and business feedback:
* Let me tell ya a funny
story; I arrived at Colorow Care Center in Olathe for rehab after a mild
stroke, and one day they delivered the papers. First day for me and it was
the Montrose News, The Beacon, and The Sunshine Express. So I read the news,
glanced at the Beacon, made sense after all this is 90% elderly, 10% rehab.
Glanced at the Sunshine Express, thought it was another publication geared
to the elderly, so I put it on top of the others face up on my night stand,
instead of the trash can for recycling. Well a pretty 20 something CNA comes
in my room, sees the Sunshine Express and says... "Do you read that?" While
I sit there with my classic sleeveless Pink Floyd 'Wish You Were Here'
T-shirt. She said... "Ya should!" So I picked it up, and dropped it on the
floor, and it opened in half, and there was a full page advertisement for
The Acme Healing Times and The Green Mile! Blew my mind! She said... "I told
ya so!" Went on to tell me that when she was younger she had worked at Taco
Time in Delta and every month this hippie lookin' chic would come in and
restock the paper rack, and always had an upbeat attitude and really cool to
talk to. I've clipped and found tremendous inspiration in an article in
Treasuries From The Inbox, you might remember it? Very powerful for me at
the time. I was learning how to walk again! It was about the mountain bike
and never quit peddling with God riding along! That's when I set my goal to
ride my bike again. Check out my cover photo, that was Holloween 2015 at
Colorow. I did it! To this day I have the 2015 OCTOBER #6-9 edition! What a
trip...huh? It was a bummer to hear you guys were going to (bi-monthly) but
I thought, more of a good thing all at once! I like; The Horoscope, The Moon
Dance and night time delights. Keep up the killer work! Glad we crossed
paths ??

* I was visiting Dr. Don's
[Nucla Apothecary Shoppe] with a friend who I am visiting in Gateway, to
catch him before he retires. I am from CT and had read the New Yorker 2011
Dr. Don profile. I picked up The Sunshine on our way out. I read it in bed
that night and was really impressed. Our local paper in Guilford, CT is not
nearly as diverse. Keep up the good work. - Laura Raymond

Massachusetts

* Editor;
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I would like to express
my gratitude to the Sunshine Express and their publishers, for their desire
to report "Good News."
I personally find news programs and news papers depressing full of doom and
gloom; having very little cheerful, delightful and enjoyable news about our
local communities. Just imagine my smile when I heard about this new monthly
adventure in news, beginning right here in our community.
Hats off to the Sunshine Express for this new paper full of "Good News" and
local events to do right here at our back door. Congrats on the first issue
of many to come. - Skitter Jones, Norwood, CO
* King Daddy & Moonstruck,
Congrats from all of us on the Eastern slope on the launch of the first
issue of the Sunshine Express! This is truly the dawn of a new age of
positive, inspirational news for everyone in the Southwestern Colorado area.
Keep up the good work! - Frank in Windsor, CO
* Dear Mikey & Diane,
Thank you so much for starting your wonderful Sunshine Express! What a
breath of fresh air you will be for the Western Slope. Thank you for your
thoughtfulness in spreading consciousness and positive thinking. I really
look forward to it's growth and evolution.
Sincerely and Namaste, Sarah Griesedieck, Montrose, CO
* Mikey & Diane,
I just wanted to share what a pleasure it was to meet the both of you. You
don't often see the openness, love of life and positive attitudes that you
both carry.
I am very excited for your new paper 'The Sunshine Express' and to be able
to share in your positive attitudes and energy. In our current times of woe
and depression it will be a great change for the 'good things' you will have
to share with all of us. - Cindy Hollinbeck, Ridgway, CO
* Congrats Mikey & Diane…
You are filling a void long needed on the Western slope. We have been
lacking a centralized & reliable resource for events, happenings, updates
and articles that cover & spotlight what our great SW Colorado area has to
offer. Hopefully, it will become a mainstay in our communities & a must read
for every issue for locals & tourists alike.!! Best of luck in this endeavor
& the future. - Judi Snelling, Ridgway
