Mary, thank you very for all your gifts.
Gratitude for all these Stella manifestations of positive energy vibrations upon these intuitively guided quotes. Bravo!
Dear Mary, I think of you often with a gratitude so big, so nuanced, so pivotal to my whole being that every time I imagine writing you I am defeated by the attempt to put it into words. I keep saying to myself “I’ve got to do it. I have to tell Mary how powerfully she has affected me! She has to know!” And then I go wash the dishes or something.
You have rolled out the red carpet of sanity to me. “Fundamentals of Mental Health” is how I often think of your courses. And mental health of course encapsulates an aliveness that I had never been exposed to or thought possible. Aliveness, creativity, hope, courage, faith, awakening to the staggering beauty that surrounds us. I honestly perceive the angelic life force energy emanating from you…and I don’t “believe” in angels.
This will have to do for now. But I want to look into your eyes and right into your soul to make sure you get it: Thank you Mary. Thank you. You are a blessing to this earth.
I am grateful for my job as a therapist. I am grateful that I have a job and a job where I have the power to change a person’s life. I am very grateful to you Mary for all that you are and for changing my perspective in life.
FYI: Number 12 is misattributed to Emerson when in fact it is Wallace Wattles, from his “Science of Getting Rich,” Chapter 7.
Thank you, Mary. I’m grateful for many people in my life including you Mary. Especially for people like you cause I have a very close to me person who is living hell.
I pray for her sometimes, and I think it helps little, but her furies are keep coming back.
Because of her, I’m even more thankful to God for His peace and presence in my life.
