Barbra is one of the greatest vocal artists in history, Barbra is an outstanding director, an outstanding actress, an outstanding producer, an outstanding a-lot-of-other-things, but when I think of her I think of her being a true scholar. She is a seeker of truth and a doer of good. She is the daughter of a true scholar, a seeker of truth and doer of good. She never seeks recognition for or praise of her good works. But they surely speak for themselves.

i'm 68 years old, but i have never been as moved as i was whe i just saw "the mirror has two faces." it is such a great movie with such great music and an exceptional cast, and barbra looked so good. she is surely the personification of the whole being more than the parts. i can't believe that i'd never even heard of the movie before. just a perfect movie.

Truth is a rare gem in a field of glitter.

Through compassion and enduring strength affirm the courage to see the path ahead, reach beyond the mundane, embrace the love that reflects one's freedom from obsolete thought, and remind all to be of service to humankind.

Barbra, you continue to evoke profound respect.

As always, in all you do in life, remember you are loved, and listen carefully to the calling of your heart. Know that I wish you continued strength, I honor your courage, I admire your dignity, and that I hold you in my heart.

All my love to you and yours,

- - Seán Clarke-Redmond

Barbra has chosen a topic 'dear to my heart', so to speak, as I had a heart attack earlier this year. I was fortunate to have the typical symptoms and, because of that, I received rapid and effective medical care. However, so many women do NOT have those symptoms. I am so excited that Barbra has connected with Cedar-Sinai and is promoting the knowledge that the women of the world need. I'm looking forward to the future research that will come from Barbra's support. Thank you, Ms Streisand, once again.

Dear Barbra, A good way to raise money is through the Post Office. There are stamps which cost a little more per sheet. The extra money is donated for various causes. There is one for Breast Cancer research. There is a beautiful one with a tiger, for Wildlife Conservation. Your team might hold a design contest for the artwork on the stamp. Perhaps you might agree to lend your famous profile? There has been a Streisand tulip, a Streisand rose, why not a Streisand stamp?

Dear Miss Streisand,

I have an inspirational idea for a new way to open your concert you're currently planning for October. I don't want to say what it is here, I want it to remain private until I can explain it to you or someone associated with the show. It's very clever and something that relates the truth in your movies to your music. And I feel it would really connect with the audience.

I hope to hear from you.

Respectfully,

Brian Kirk
