As you know I love you so very much and your words touched me I felt the sense of empathy and compassion. As you know I've been with you and you've guided me for nearly 40 years I have to say I like that you're older than me because I get a sense of the road ahead by listening and watching you my road may not be so broad as yours my life is a little narrower but what I face and what you face seem to have a Resonance of the same quality. Keep going Marianne. Shine so brightly as you always do that you can be a beacon to the rest of us. Oddly enough that's kind of how I see you. You're a pioneer of sorts carving out your life you've paved the way for so many of us to live more fully richly and deeply as a result of you and your teachings. Your remarkable woman Marianne and still my very favorite person. Much love to you happy belated birthday and all my love. Can't wait to see you again
Happy birthday. I love you and still hold a candle you will be our president of the USA. Everything would be on a path to being right and correct with you in that powerful seat. I admire you so much. Thank you for being you and making the world better no matter what position you hold. You speak the truth and bring the light. God bless you, all those you are in connection with, including the naysayers. May we all accept and embody the Light. Deep, deep thanks. -Elizabeth
Happy belated birthday Marianne I love your description of 70…vintage! I am getting closer to 80 now.. how would describe that number??😉
Thank you for those wonderful Sundays at Renaissance Unity, the Wednesdays classes from NewYork or California 😍 and continuing to be such a great Course of Miracles - Life - teacher.
I am from the Renaissance Unity days too. Actually a friend introduced me to Marianne's teachings when Jack Bolan was the spiritual leader there. I was in a very bad space when my friend introduced me to tapes she brought of Marianne. I was smitten. So when Marianne appeared at RU I was overjoyed!
I live in Hamburg Twp- between Ann Arbor and Brighton. Maybe we did meet there. I used to live in Clinton Twp. Not opposed to meeting half way. I have a friend who lives in Harrison Twp who also went to RU. WO
Happy birthday Marianne! I felt that same thing at 50 but inly when my husband gave me my birthday card and upon opening it two big gold numbers slapped me in the face. My heart literally stopped for a second from the shock of realizing that I was half a century old, although my mind and body didn’t agree. 11 years later and a few more gray hairs I’m enjoying my journey with God my guide and you as a travel host. Thanks for being you! Much love and light to you always! Jesse, San Francisco
“I have honed you, I have chastened you, I have prepared you. Now we’ll begin.” … We often make the mistake of relating our lives and our well being to our physical bodies … But we are much more than our body … Our minds, our lack of fear and our “Beings” have grown far beyond the abilities we had when we were younger … Now is the time to face the world with that fearlessness that DID NOT and COULD NOT have existed until now … Thank You for your Courage!
Happy belated birthday Marianne! The best is yet to come! It’s the weirdest thing but it’s like there’s a hidden magnet somewhere that attracts me to Cancer (water) signs. Being a Capricorn (earth), I guess it makes sense. Just happens so naturally. Love your teachings and philosophy and looking forward to at least another 25 years. I wonder what you’ll be writing and speaking about then? Can’t wait! 💛
Welcome to the club, Marianne! Vintage is such a beautiful description. Being 70 years young is a good, zesty place to be. Wishing you many happy returns! And love always. Thank you for your wisdom and wonderful spirit. ❤️
Wonderful! Just what I needed to read this morning! Last year at 74 I did ACIM for the first time. All 365 days ! I had tried so many times before that. Your explanations made the Course make sense. I am so grateful . I turn 75 on August 1. I am not sure I am totally ready, but more ready than I would have been without the Course. I have given myself an early birthday present. No added salt to my food. It feels big! Much love to you all!
Beautiful. I received a message a few weeks ago before my breast cancer surgery. "Begin the charity" . God is calling on me to see the Christ in everyone. (I think).
Happy Birthday Marianne! I sincerely hope this will be your best year yet!
I recently turned 71, and I continue to be shocked when I look in the mirror and see my father looking back at me. That which is the essence of my Self hasn't aged, doesn't age perhaps,
I guess this means you’re old enough to be taken seriously. However…
I remember turning 70 for me; with my daughter, grandkids, friends and siblings;
Was the day I stepped into that eternal moment when/where gratitude, forgiveness and humor all flow together as gravity fades away.
Bless you Marianne, for the light you bring to so many lives. I hold you gently in my Heart.🕊
So well said! You do sound wise!

I second that Elizabeth! My candle also keeps burning for soul energy like Marianne this lifetime or the next for President of the USA.

Hi Patty, are you still living locally? I am in Shelby Twp. Always looking for likeminded friends…. We might have even met there!
I live in Hamburg Twp- between Ann Arbor and Brighton. Maybe we did meet there. I used to live in Clinton Twp. Not opposed to meeting half way. I have a friend who lives in Harrison Twp who also went to RU. WO
ould love to meet for coffee or tea sometimes.
Happy happy birthday!! Xo

An Old Irish Blessing: : )
May the road ( and beach ) rise to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Your body may be 70 but you Marianne will always be eternal. Actually, your body only looks 45. Happy Birthday Shining Light of God!!!😊

An Old Irish Blessing for our precious Marianne:
May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Happy Birthday Marianne! I sincerely hope this will be your best year yet!

Happy Birthday.
I turned 70 in December and it's still hard for me to believe I'm that old.
I think we're just getting better.
