		<description>Mari,

Wow-wee..
Taking a deep breath after that post.
We can tell you are healing, and while the challenge you shared with us means a great deal, your wellbeing is too.  

I appreciate your leadership in the space of social media and as a good human being.  You are in my prayers as the coming months will continue to be an adjustment for you both.

		<description>Hi Mari,

Thanks for sharing your transition. So happy you could do it smoothly and elegantly...at least it looks like that to us. :) 

I agree with Esperanza (love her) that you are the most important person in your life. It&#039;s like being on an airline when the attendant tells you to put your own oxygen mask on before helping others. You can&#039;t help anyone else if you can&#039;t breathe.

Can&#039;t wait until our paths cross again.

xoxo

		<description>Hey Mari,

I know this is way after the fact, but something that always helped me thru divorce (I&#039;ve had two) is buying myself a fabulous, crazy-expensive DIVORCE RING! 

Fly... be free my friend... until love knocks on your door again.

		<description>I am SO late ctahcing up on this item of news in your life Mari. 
Nancy Marmolejo summed it up so eloquently when she says that you shared this &quot;in such a beautiful and authentic way. Very classy and full of integrity.&quot;  
May good luck accompany you on the path you are now travelling.</description>

		<description>So nice Mari to read the truth. Your truth.
It resonated with me and I too went through a similar process - it takes a LOT of courage not only to face yourself initially but also to share it - with friends and family - and your network. You are an inspiration!
Warm regards

		<description>I don&#039;t know why I found this post and I too think you are very brave in sharing your personal story here. Though I do think you are safe here among friends. Funny thing about perfect honestly is, the universe resonates with you :)

Thanks Mari
Paul

PS. I&#039;ve heard of and admire Guy Hendricks through the Spiritual Cinema Circle.</description>

		<description>Dear Mari,

I have only come to &quot;know&quot; you in print and by voice so far, but, you have already left a big imprint on me. Your openness, warmth and caring come through so strongly and has such a wonderful effect, not to mention all the helpful information that you offer, as well.

Thank you for sharing this personal aspect--even though I&#039;m only just learning about it now. And thank you for the resources you mentioned, especially the quote from Marianne Williamson. It is so &quot;right on.&quot;

So glad you have chosen to let your light shine bright and that it has touched me, my heart, and the future of my work.

Many blessings for you and your journey,

Jeanne</description>
