Dear Diane:

You've been on my mind...

We met online a couple years ago and we have already worked together, had great talks, and shared a few laughs. Thank you for your strength, your critical thinking, and your no-nonsense attitude.

I appreciate your constant support and am honored to call you my friend. I am grateful for you.

Love...

Noosha Ravaghi

Dear Steve: You've been on my mind... I met you in 2019 when you tweeted about your book, The End of Fear Itself . At the time, I was writing a piece on fear myself, so I was reading everything I could find on the topic. Naturally, I got your book and read it. I reached out to you to see if we could meet online and talk about your book. Thank you for agreeing to meet with me. What I saw in you during that talk was the extremely rare – and priceless – combination of critical thinking, honesty, and humility, each of which is both valuable and very hard to find. I haven't had the opportunity to meet you in real life, but I'm so honored and proud to have you as my friend and my writing buddy. Thank you for showing interest in my projects and encouraging me to write every day. Those short notes we exchange daily motivate me so much. I want you to know how much I appreciate you and how much I value our friendship. I am grateful for you. Gratefully, Noosha Ravaghi

Dear Dariush: You've been on my mind... You've been singing since the year I was born and I've listened to your voice since I was a child. I love your voice, your music, your lyrics, each heartwarming on its own and, when combined, extraordinarily beautiful. I had the honor and pleasure of meeting you in person in Paris about fifteen years ago. You were sitting in a café with a young man, talking about work, and I was passing by with two friends who asked for your autograph. I wanted it, too, probably more than them, but I was embarrassed because my friends had interrupted your conversation, so I stood a few feet away and watched as you kindly signed their names. Thank you for being a wonderful human being. You have touched millions of lives with your passion to make this world a better place. Thank you for being a messenger of compassion. I appreciate everything you do, from your music to your tree-planting campaign to your Education, Awareness & Prevention organizatio...
