    Melody is one of the most energetic people I've ever met. I guess that comes from eating right and exercise. When I grow up I want to be just like her. :-)

    <-( Fernando says ;-)
    feisty, a giver of scrumptious noah bagels, a root-n-toot'n energetic make you bust a gut laughing blur ... hear-ye hear-ye ... warm smiles all about, enter melody cool.

    <-( Oscar says ;-)
    Melody!!!!! Melody is super cool. She totally welcomed me with that nice big hug! That hugs no joke :) Though we didnt get to hang too much in Denali, maybe we'll have more time in Glacier :) :) SWEEEEEET! Gracias Mel

    <-( john says ;-)
    mel. is just ok.. if ok is havign lots of fun and being entertained and laughing your ass off. she's cool and easygoing but jumps in on adventures right away, make syou feel very comfortabel especially during the " hi.. my name is melody i never met you but i'm going to give you a big hug " intro phase

    <-( Liz says ;-)
    I must now embark upon intensive training to be able to compete with the awesomest Melody I know on the hug front! Holy monkeys is Melody a rockin' lady!!! She's the biggest ball of energy I've ever met in such a wee form! Melody! I demand that you come out and eat my cooking (and actually try that cake I make! :-)) I shall make a point of heading out to Los Angeles in the near future to visit as well and we shall have a re-match on that hug competition...huzzah for such a highly awesome lady!

    <-( Suzy says ;-)
    Mel is the greatest. Even when I locked her out of her new apartment with Andy gone and no extra key on the hottest day of the year, she still let me stay and hang out. Even the cats still welcomed me into their home :) Thanks for making me feel so welcome. I am so glad I have met you and I love hanging out. And thanks for the poem. It should be published!

    <-( Ruthie says ;-)
    After seeing such love for Melody, I had to experience it myself! By the end of the night I got hugged, lifted, serenaded, and invited to dinner – all rare stuff for me – and then I knew it was true: Melody’s all that AND a bag of vegan chips!

    <-( Liz says ;-)
    Melodious Melody gives great hug. Her energy and sheer Melody-ness are an inspiration to be good to yourself and other people- she's an excellent ambassador for LA, veganism and general healthy living. Plus she's funny as heck and great to hang with. Whatever brought Melody here needs to happen repeatedly and longer, but on the other hand, I think MiLA would definitely be cranky if we stole her away. But could you blame us?

    <-( Stefanie says ;-)
    All the gushing, all the love, all the awesome things said about Melody? Totally, completely and without question-- absolutely true. And I wish she was here more often. She's out of this world cool!

    <-( Kevin says ;-)
    Met Melody for the first time at Games Night 15! Fun games played by all, especially the twister, I think I was molested a few times playing that game! Thanks alot for all the great food - Melody is a expert caterer on the side! She's great with SOOO much energy and is definitely the hostess with the mostest! Is there a built-in 'Events by Melody Search Engine' somewhere on this website?!~if not there should be!!! Thanks Alot!

    <-( Mary says ;-)
    Melody - you're a true gem! The few events you planned and i've had the pleasure to attend were so much fun. All because you're a great hostess...with the most-est?!!! You are what makes MiLa so great!

    <-( Sandarsh says ;-)
    Melody is an energizer bunny with a big heart. She is fun, caring and a motivated leader. Mel, I truly look up to you and have a lot to learn form you. Oh, apparently I swore (what was that you made me drink Mel?) to do away with anybody that bears ill-will towards her. So watch out people :)

    <-( Marley says ;-)
    Mel! Thanks so much for planning the Stoopid Tourist Day #2. It was my first Meetin event and I had a great time. I hope to see you soon. :) marley

    <-( Ann Marie says ;-)
    I love Mel, even though she posts pictures of me that make me look like a tard. She is a caring and generous person and I am so glad we are friends. Have a great summer. Stay cool. High school is gonna kick ass....

    <-( Juan says ;-)
    Melody is: generous, you won't leave her place hungry; funny, ask her about the elephant(s) just do NOT ask her about the wombat! and great fun to hang around. In addition to all of this she gives off positive energy and makes you feel happy when you hang out. She's punctual and respectful of the time of others & hates being late. Trustworthy, if she tells you something (like that she will be somewhere at a certain time) , you can take it to the bank. If you go to a meet in event and Mel is there it feels like Cheers "everyone knows your name and they're always glad you came". Melody cares and wants you to feel welcome & at home. PLUS Meetin in LA would not be what it is today without all of her efforts.... thank you Melody.

    <-( Prima says ;-)
    I love Mel! She's just an amazing human being, so full of light, energy, warmth, and love for everyone she meets! She always makes everyone feel welcome at her events and in her home...she's an awesome cook, too! Thanks for everything you do for all of us, Mel! =o)

    <-( Craig says ;-)
    I've been wanting to meet the great Melody for the longest time after hearing such great things about her, and I finally got the opportunity when I made a last minute decision to drive all the way down from the Bay Area to surprise Chris and Eileen in LA on NYE. Upon meeting her, she gave me a great big hug (I fell in love immediatly!) I have never in my life met someone like Melody. She is just filled with positive energy (and I've yet to see her at full power as she was sick when I met her!)She is funny, always smiling or laughing and is someone who you want to be around always. I'm already looking forward to my next trip to LA! Mel you are always welcome to visit us in the East Bay anytime!

    <-( Carmel says ;-)
    The truly Magnificent Melody deserves each and every one of her 143 testimonials. I first met her over the summer at J.Lo's birthday party, but didn't get to hang out with her until I visited Los Angeles in December. Although it was only briefly over dinner with sixteen other MiLA members, I felt Mel's magic: it is her unique ability to make you feel welcome and part of the group, even when she is clear across the room. That is talent. Around Melody, people don't remain strangers for long. Her effervescent personality is what makes MEETinLA as successful as it is. Melody is a gem, and for many, many other reasons than that she gives great massages and is an excellent hostess. Thanks, Mel, for making my most recent visit to LA memorable :)

    <-( Andy says ;-)
    What can you say about Mel? (that hasn't already been said...) You almost have to quote someone, I choose B.B. King. "To know you is to love you." ...'nuff said. Thanks for making me feel so welcome.

    <-( Ozy says ;-)
    Melody Melony Mel Melodious Molly Al-Abeer is like a cool breeze of spring on a sweltering summer’s inferno. Beyond the witty smart-ass razor-sharp razor-cute vivacious gregarious social butterfly, and a generous magnanimous munificent and welcoming host, lies a heart of pure gold that lives for the happiness of others and thrives in selfless care for her friends and all creation. I'm honoured to know a human being as rare as such and to have the honour of being her friend. In a world bloated with cold hearted greed, selfishness, ignorace and hate, people like her keep the torch of hope alive. Cheers to the marvel of Melody!
