In the beginning, I looked at all the VFMW posts, but then I slowly got rid of Facebook. So I rarely saw the VFMW posts. Now, luckily, I noticed that it is being discontinued and I also downloaded the Higlights edition, and I must admit that I cried a little while reading it. During these 3 years, my whole life changed, home office became normal, real meetings with colleagues became special. The view from my bedroom window, which became important at the beginning of the pandemic, has remained important ever since, because I have spent most of my life in this room for 3 years. VFMW was a very good and thought provoking idea. Thank you for the work you put in, and you can be very proud of the result!

Dear Barbara and Team, you did SO much for this world during a very scary time. Who knew that we could all be brought closer together as a result. I had the great honor, also, of having a photo about my beloved heart dog (Holly) and her passing on Easter appear in the first edition and in the Japanese version. That so many many people learned of her is so deeply soothing to my heart. This was just one of truly millions of awe inspiring things you accomplished for us all. Much love, Diane

The Covid-lockdown was a never-seen-before event ! It was an incredible period with big consequences for a lot of people... The world needed solidarity and emotional sharing... Barbara Duriau offered us the opportunity to share our stories and view-travelling with this group on FB ! Thank you Barbara for this and the creative name of the group 🙏🏼

C'était une chouette idée "View from my window" en cette période compliquée du premier confinement (déjà 3 ans)! Cela a permis à des gens du monde entier de se rencontrer virtuellement. J'ai envoyé moi-même une photo prise de ma fenêtre et j'ai ensuite acheté les deux livres. Cela me fera des souvenirs!

Bringing the world together in a time of insecurity and loneliness for quite some folks around the globe in the way you did is really amazing and heartwarming - I loved looking at the pictures of different places all around the world with their comments and reactions..Thank you for your efforts you are hero(es)!!! -love you for that!

Every view was beautiful in its own way. So were the contributors - and the people who ran the site. Such a lovely idea to help us all remain connected during the pandemic. Thank you.

One week into Covid Lockdown I discovered VFMW. One of the best things to come out of Covid. I’ve enjoyed every View. Thanks you for your vision, your time and your dedication!!

Thank you for all your work putting the "VFMW" FB page and the books together. The books are on my coffee table and enjoyed by everyone. It really has been an amazing trip!!!

Already the pandemic seems like a dream. A nightmare that we mostly have woken up from. I will always have the 1st VFMW book as a souvenir of this incredible time in our lives … thanks to all & wishing you all good health!

Thanks to all participants to share their views. It was always a look to the world, knowing life is beautiful, everywhere. It makes me feel like having brothers and Sisters all around the world. I wish you all the best!
