The Power, the Glory, the Reaction : THE REAL THING . . .

You have managed to focus your profile on Marianne in such a way as to emphasize her looks, which celebrities “follow” her and the boring details of the pettiness that can break out in any organization that is growing very fast and that tries to grapple with life-threatening disease and the issues of spirituality.

I find that her message and indeed her very persona help me to return to a place of my own inner strength from which I can better navigate my life and, I hope, be of service to others in an increasingly difficult world.

How much more valuable it would have been had you chosen to focus instead on Marianne’s message of love over fear.

If she does have “a gruff side,” maybe it’s because she has articles like this to contend with when she is trying to get on with her very important work.
