CREATING LASTING MEMORIES, ONE MOMENT AT A TIME.

How many people wonder, at the end of their lives: Did I make a difference in the world? I was recently the recipient of a 'Moments Worth Remembering' compilation of very special messages, courtesy of my dear friend (and Virtual Kid Brother) Oleg Lougheed...and my very secretive, amazing wife Tina. At age 55 (and hoping I am nowhere near the end yet), I was absolutely rocked emotionally as I sat on the couch while my Tina filmed the unveiling. Over the past 31 years, I have enjoyed life as a Radio Personality, Stand-Up Comedian, DJ/Emcee and Professional Speaker...and as I read the messages that so many people shared...I was speechless. Trust me, that is NOT an easy thing to do. If ever I find myself wondering about 'impact' again, I will peruse the pages of this book...and then double-down on my efforts to continue putting positive energy into the lives of as many people as I can, every day.

Every response in the book tugs at my heart strings. I cannot read through the book without getting teary eyed. The kindness shared with me by the thoughtfulness of others is both honoring and humbling. When I read through the book the first time, I had the thought that it was like being at my own funeral service, except that I had the advantage of personally hearing kind things shared. How do I say, "Thank You?" For all who participated … please know that your thoughtfulness and kind words mean much.

It was the most surprising and thoughtful gift I have ever received. With all the hardships and negativity and trying times in the world, sometimes it’s easy to get lost. This helped me see how clearly I matter and the impact just one person can have. It hit home in so many ways and the things that people said varied from familiar to anecdotal to pure and groundbreaking. Truly a gift I will cherish forever.

What a gift my MWR book was! Hearing such deep appreciations from some of my dearest loved ones was both deeply moving and affirming. It is so easy to lose sight of the gifts we bring to those we love, and this book reminded me of everything I bring and share in my closest relationships. Don't wait til someone is gone to share your appreciation. Do it now so they can enjoy the experience of hearing it!

Every once in awhile you get a gift that rocks your world. Yesterday I got mine. Thank you Oleg Lougheed. A beautiful book, pages filled with words from my friends near and far, about me and to me, poking into my brain, heart, and soul. A book to peruse when the world throws hardballs my way even when I’m already on the ground, to give me hope and remind me that I am seen, I am heard, I am loved. We need reminders no matter where you are and your personal relationships. We need reminders because things get tough. We need reminders because too often we don’t utter the words that matter. Check out Oleg’s brilliant new idea and go to his site. This picture doesn’t do justice to the words I read inside the book.

The words of love, appreciation and affirmation I received in my “Moments Worth Remembering” book, were not only very powerful when I received them, but will be words I reread many times. They will serve as a reminder of the relationships I have been blessed with and the ways I am able to impact others in my life. I am so grateful for those who gave me the book as well as all who contributed their words!

To say the Moments Worth Remembering book I received from my amazing husband Philip Dugas, my dear friend and colleague Oleg Lougheed, and all those who contributed, is a gift, would be the understatement of a lifetime. Dictionary.com says that a gift is "something given voluntarily without payment in return, as to show favor toward someone, honor an occasion, or make a gesture of assistance; a present." This book I received is more than just a present. This book... my book... is a CALLING to BE present; to appreciate each moment and person and relationship represented on each page for their 'right-now-meaning'. Nothing more, nothing less. It is a calling for more frequent, intentional gratitude. It is a calling to love, honor, and appreciate myself the way others have expressed that they appreciate me. It is a calling for me to recognize that the power I have inside me to create the kind of incredible relationships I've always desired, has always been present. I am forever grateful for this collection of moments that was bestowed upon my life and it will continue to be a touch-point of light in my life whether I open its pages, or glance toward it on my desk. With whole-hearted gratitude. 🥰

I will forever treasure this experience. The heartfelt words from my loved ones and biggest supporters have illustrated the beauty of life and relationships. This gift has woven a collection of memories and people who have shaped me into the person I am today, and highlights the profound impact we have on each other. Every moment I spend reflecting on this gift serves as a reminder of my immense blessings and deep gratitude for the supportive community that I am surrounded by. Oleg Lougheed has truly crafted an emotionally charged and heartfelt experience, brimming with unforgettable moments. I wholeheartedly encourage it to those seeking to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

Receiving this book made me realize the importance of relationships & the way I view myself. I think there are many like me who struggle to view themselves in a positive light. Always critiquing themselves, a lot of negative self-talk ... When I received the book, I realized how important our relationships are. I cherish every one of those relationships & it was good to hear an outside voice express their love for me.

Moments Worth Remembering is an absolute gem of a gift that brought me some much needed joy during a difficult time in my life. It was a complete surprise to receive this beautiful book, which brought back so many wonderful memories from different people that I have been blessed to know during the course of my life. I cannot say enough about the heart & soul of Oleg who weaved together this beautiful book and experience for me. Moments Worth Remembering is the perfect way to remind the special people in your life just how much they mean to you. I was deeply moved and am forever grateful to have crossed paths with this magical human being. Thank you Oleg for bringing it all together and reminding me of the many ways that I am helping to make a difference in other people's lives. I am grateful for and for my Moments Worth Remembering book!!

The expressions of love, appreciation, and affirmation that filled my MWR book were not only profoundly impactful when I first received them, but they will also continue to resonate with me as I revisit them in the future. These heartfelt words serve as a constant reminder of the cherished relationships I've been blessed with and the profound ways I can make a positive difference in the lives of others. I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible individuals who contributed to this book; their presence in my life is a perpetual source of thankfulness.

Moments Worth Remembering is an irreplaceable company that delivers perhaps the single most impactful gift anyone will ever receive. Thank you to the MWR team for providing the critical medium to share what would otherwise be unexpressed love. I promise you will cherish the words on each page as moments worth remembering for years to come. Truly a gift that keeps on giving.

This gift is truly priceless. I had the pleasure of receiving one as a gift and the more rewarding pleasure of gifting one to my brother. The kinds words from friends and family are very comforting when feeling down and when you need an emotional hug. Anyone that you really care about will greatly appreciate receiving this as a gift. Highly recommend as a gift for someone that “already has everything” or anyone you want to feel very appreciated by their friends and family.

Receiving the book 'Moments Worth Remembering' was an absolute treasure. This beautifully curated collection holds not just words, but the heartfelt sentiments of multiple dear friends. Each page is a testament to the love and effort poured into this collaborative project. As I flip through its pages, I am reminded of the lovely memories we've shared and the genuine affection that binds us together. This book is not just a gift, it's a tangible representation of the love and care that went into creating something truly special. I am extremely grateful for this thoughtful and meaningful gesture.

I recently purchased an MWR book to celebrate my Mom on her 80th birthday. I had received an MWR this past Christmas and was overjoyed by the warm, personal messages I received from friends and colleagues throughout my life. The photos brought back joyful memories and experiences that warmed my heart and brought a smile to my face. So when I was deciding how to make my Mom's birthday extra special, of course it was to create an MWR book for her! Giving it to her ,and watching her as she received and began perusing the book is a memory I will treasure. There was joy, surprise, and as she read some of the personal messages from loved ones, she, in a state of disbelief, said, "Are they talking about me?". Yes, Mom, we are. She loved the meaningful weaving of photos and messages that captured the people and moments that mattered most in her life. She LOVES the book! It has become something tangible she can pick up and peruse to be reminded of how much she is loved and the many people who love her. Too often we go through life and do not actually share with our loved ones how much we love, care about, and appreciate them. An MWR book is more than a gift. It is a cherished treasure trove of love and memories. Thank you, Oleg and MWR for providing the gift of memories, love, and gratitude that keeps on giving!
