Mary...Your work is wonderful and very reasonable in price. I really like your imagery and composition. Thanks for your help. Keep up the good work. Take care for now. Jim

Your small works are shining! I am falling in love with your cat. Please paint some more!

Mary---you have some awesome collages going on here. I really like the stories they tell (both seen and implied). The textures come through so well--even via web. I challenge you to get more forward with bright bold colors.

Start with cherry red baby!

What do you think??? Let's catch up sometime soon.... --Jos

Here's a little poem--Mary, Mary. your hair is quite contrary.-Hi again, I just wanted you to know that I lost my hair in 1990. Then it was such nice hair and I loved it,[http:// browwn and naturally curly]. However it came in straight and contrary too. I now put color on and have a perm every 4 weeks. It is very frustrating, but worth still being here. My prayers are with you. Milliegiftsmith

That picture is ... what can I say. Can't decide which hair style I like best, this one or the "Beret." What torture you must have put those Nuns through.

It was so good to talk with you today after Connor's First Communion. You are an example of courage to us all. I'm sure it is difficult to go through what you are going through without temporary breakthroughs of anger and fear which as humans we must allow ourselves but as we talked about; attitude in the positive is very important. And you've got GREAT attitude. I will ask the Higher Power of my understanding to keep boosting your wonderful attitude every day. You're a great girl and I loved reading your friends' notes. Great support! I am only a phone call away and would be honored to share the good and not so good times with you and of course girl tips that we also talked about. Love, Ann

I just posted something but it hasn't shown up. Hmmm, maybe it takes a few minutes?

Just in case I didn't do it right, here's a recap: sending you warm, sunny vibes and a suggestion to VPO (visualize positive outcomes).

If you need a laugh, just picture cats painting :-)

You are in my thoughts and prayers. Please let me know if I can do anything for you; except cook. I wouldn't subject you to my "cooking". You deserve better than that!

You are one tough cookie and I know that you will get thru this with your sense of humor in tact and lots of creative ideas waiting to be let loose.

Remember my favorite quote: Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it...it's all about attitude!

Hi Mary, wishing you the best. I see from your wonderful work that you see the beauty in the world and I believe that spirit will carry you through.

You are in our thoughts and prayers

Deep: Remain unafraid of change, insatiable in intellectual curiosity, interested in big things, and happy in small ways.

Not so deep: I'll make you a meatloaf anytime you want. :-)

Hey, you'll always be Queen of the Universe to me. Your calling card has a place on my refrigerator forever. Right next to all the grandkids pictures. I'm awful far away to offer help but I'm thinking about you and offering my version of prayers for you. Love, Fay

Mary Beth Queen of the Universe just doesn't have the same ring that your "stage name" has!

So, listen, if you needed to take some time off from work, there are way better ways to get away. Let me suggest names like Marriott, Sheraton, etc. Cooley-Dickinson or similar are NOT on the list!!!

Seriously, I am so sorry to hear about the whole ordeal you have had to and continue to go through. You will be in my prayers and my church's prayers (under your assumed name, of course!). Stay out of trouble, dear friend! Talk to you soon! Spring is coming!!

You didn't keep your indentity that good a secret... we all know you are "Wonder Woman."

And I agree with Ellen that your work is beautiful. Myra Lee would be proud.

what a great idea, doing a blog. Rest up baby. You are in my thoughts.

Love,

Jeff and Darcy

Beautiful work, Mary!! I am so happy to see it.......and yes, you kept your secret identity very quiet indeed!

Rides, food, errands, if you need ANYTHING let me know. I'm sending love and good health vibes. When you are up for company or conversation, let me know, I'd love to hear from you.

Hugs and kisses,
Susan
