Congratulations & Great Book Riana....Our 1st Receipient of the Honor of "South Jersey Leaders, Mentors, & Heros award!
"Please devour Riana's book, "Watch Me", hire Riana, meet with Riana, and listen very, very intently to what she says. I have to admit I was blown away by the empowering message(s!) in her book. I love this brave woman's way of sharing and then teaching us how to take back the power and dignity that so freely gets taken away. What a great journey to happiness. Thank you, Riana! I'm sorry I didn't take the time sooner to read this book!

A Must Read for Everyone
"My motivation to read Watch Me came about when I had the opportunity to personally meet Ms. Milne and her co-author daughter Alexi Panos as they presented a character education assembly program at my school. Their vivacious enthusiastic presentation style had students and teachers riveted to their seats as they covered such heartfelt topics as bullying, accomplishing your dreams, and how to successfully deal with adversity in your life. Ms. Milne's Watch Me Attitude is a glowing example of how one can deal with life's unexpected twists and turns while holding your head up high. As a principal of a busy middle school I recommend Watch Me be stocked in schools nation-wide affording middle schoolers who often struggle with many social issues an opportunity to succeed in school and in life. With sound advice for parents, teens, and anyone seeking to have more control over their lives Watch Me is a must read for everyone."

The Teachings from this Book WORK!
"I was quite fortunate to hear Riana Milne, the author of Watch Me! speak as a teacher regarding the concepts written in her book. I am a recovering addict at an in-patient rehab center. She comes into the Rehab every Saturday in Atlantic City. I can assure you - Riana is for REAL! She has so much energy, heart, and compassion for people in pain, and is exactly what we all needed as women of addiction. Every week, we looked forward to her coming to teach us. I had learned so much from her - as we all did! I have since bought her book and left the rehab center. I practice EVERY DAY the methods she has taught me, and IT WORKS! I am still healthy and reaching all my long-awaited goals. I have become so proud of the woman I knew I could be! No matter what you might be going through, take all her lessons and suggestions to heart. She knows what she is talking about! I feel privileged to have had Riana as my teacher and therapist during my darkest hour."
A reviewer, a therapist and single father, 09/01/2006
Excellent read for professional and nonprofessional
"I thought the book offered an excellent overview of an extraordinary woman who demonstrates a positive approach to life. I think the interaction with her daughter as a co author will make this an excellent book for families. As a therapist I will use it in my practice particularly as a practical guide for struggling clients. Great job Riana and Alexi!"
A reviewer, lover of motivational reading! 08/10/2006
Great story about how the spirit of an individual is what gets things accomplished!
"Loved the story line of the book and how it allowed area to relate it my own life story, or anyone's for that matter! It's great that the money from the book goes to charity as well!! Keep up the good work!"
George, age 45, civil servant, never married, 9/10/2006
I bought more copies for friends & family!
"I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book, but the title caught my eye and I am an avid reader of self-help books. 'Watch Me!' touched my heart, and I really could relate to the story – I got so much out of it, that I went back and bought 18 more copies to give as gifts to friends and all of my family members. They all loved the book to! I would highly recommend this book to anyone, male or female, of any age, who is looking to change and better their life."
Terri Homer, A reviewer, 08/20/2006
Childless 50-year-old Inspired by Parenting Chapter
"As a twice-divorced, intentionally childless single woman, I was astounded to discover how powerful I found the parenting chapter to be. The world would be transformed if every child had the opportunity to be raised utilizing these methods. That alone is worth the price of the book. This is a book for everyone. All of us, regardless of our personal experiences, can benefit from something in this book. The couple’s chapter also stands out as one of the book's most profound installments, containing a wealth of information for those who just don't know where to go from here. The book is well written and easy to follow, especially for those who find this type of reading challenging. I would encourage everyone to add this book to their collections, as it is something meaningful to refer to time and time again when life gets tough. I just loved it!"
Dr. Robin Barnett, EdD, LCSW, LCADC; 6/28/2007
A Counseling Book everyone can use!
"A brilliant integration of self-disclosure, spirituality and vision of the future. Riana offers insight into areas of our lives many never approach due to fear and history. This book should be a staple for all who want to grow and progress beyond what they have always thought was not possible."
Fourth Grade Twin Sisters 4/6/2007
We Loved The Chapter for Teens!
"Although we aren’t quite 13, our neighbor suggested to us that we read your book. Both my sister and I really loved it, and especially liked the chapter, 'Advice from Mom' which is written for teenagers. It really inspired us to be the best we can be, and not to worry about others who try to bully us, put us down, or make us feel 'not good enough.' Riana and Alexi can really relate to us kids! We suggest every teenager read this!"
Bryan J; A reviewer and business associate, 8/16/2006
Fact of Reality!
"As a professional opinion, I've worked with Riana and Alexi through both web and fashion design and I'm glad to see their dreams come true. They've worked hard and sacrificed to get to where they are now. They're the 'multi-purpose' woman in America….Woman the society should look up to! "

Savvy Seniors Past 70 suggest this book
"Riana - We can't tell how impressed we were when we read WATCH ME, a book written on Motivational attitude for personal success. No matter what your age is you are always striving for self improvement and personal growth. Since we are Grandparents of 26 children we particularly enjoyed advice on raising successful children. This advice is wonderful to pass onto our own children and for that matter the grandkids!"
Nancy Page, Sewell, NJ; A reviewer and Fellow-survivor, 3/3/2007
A Story for All of Us!
"After reading the book “Watch Me” I felt totally touched and motivated. Riana Milne told her personal journey through life in a way that touched my heart. As women we’ve all shared our hearts, our time, our secrets, our fears, our hopes and our dreams. We’ve all had our share of hard times, but I know after reading “Watch Me” someone is always there to make us believe in ourselves and make us feel better. A good beach read! A life journey that will make you believe you can really succeed in life."
Donald W.; A reviewer, a Recovering addict and alcoholic, 10/09/2006
Thank You! Thank You!
"I am a recovering alcoholic and drug addict. This book was recommended to me from my Therapist. I can't tell you enough how much I learned from it - to re-inspire my life towards growth and change; and not to stay stuck in my addiction. It makes to look at anger in a whole different way - and addicts are usually stuck in anger and guilt --- when you can get over that, you can get over drug use. This book directly hits what the addict needs to read to overcome past pain. Thank you to Riana - a great Mom - and her daughter Alexi - who both live a Higher Purpose of changing other People's lives for the better. I ended the book in tears and a prayer of thanks!"
Annie, a Reviewer and Working mother, 10/15/2006
Perfect Parents, Couples and for being your Personal Best Self!
"Riana gives excellent advice on improving yourself for healthy relationships. She sums it up with 'Be the person you want to attract.' And--don't miss the parenting chapter...from unconditional love to teaching children the 'Watch Me' attitude. What a good role model she is for single working moms!"
South Jersey Mom & Special Education Teacher, 12/20/2006
You can’t just buy one copy! A Great gift for Yourself & Others!
"'Watch Me' is a book that you can't put down!! It is so easy to incorporate its key principals' into your everyday life. I immediately wrote down each of my goals for each area and put them on my bathroom mirror so I could look at them every morning before I start my day and at night to review if I met each goal. It's a great way to balance your life and as a single mother of two little ones, that can be a challenge. This book was so helpful I gave it out as Christmas presents!!"
A Mayor’s son 4/5/2007
This Felt like My Story!
"Wow, I really related to the author’s stories! I often felt put down and not good enough and have struggled my whole life with these feelings. The techniques Riana suggests to use really helped me personally deal with past issues, and the Parenting chapter helped me to become a better father to my own children. The Couples chapter gave great advice on how to be a better, more understanding partner for my wife. Thank you, Riana; I finally got the therapy I needed!"
Norma Jean, mother, entrepreneur, author, Life partner-in PA, 7/24/2007
A Non-Stop, Motivational Read!
"As a mother of 3 with two beautiful girls, and one son I have to say, if I had read 'WATCH ME' authored by Riana Milne when I raised my children, I would have had the tools to know how to positively influence the lives of my children by following her thought process and advice. I found her book to be emotionally motivating and a book that I could not put down. For me, going forward, I found the tools within this manuscript that I will definitely use so I can have a more rewarding and gratifying life."
Sandy Dickson. Mother and Educator, 2/10/2007
Perfect for Men and Women of all ages!

She gives examples of turbulent times in her own life where she struggled against all odds. However, with hard work and determination to succeed in this game of life, Ms. Milne has succeeded both professionally, as well as personally. The author presents sound ideas for ways to change one's life for the better All ages and genders can benefit from reading this wonderful motivational book."

"Watch Me" is a compelling read...a self-help book written in a manner that allows the reader to visualize what the author is speaking of, and use such lessons in everyday life....wonderful read, and I refer back to it often for guidance, particularly the "Parenting" section!"
