Audacity to Be Divine

This is a true story of transformation. Mary was an ordinary, suburban, quintessential New York housewife living in the depth of despair - and who, through grit, hustle, and grind, found the strength to transcend struggle and develop herself to a charismatic activist, organizer, and spiritual leader. Mary established a lay monastic house of contemplation and self-fulfillment. She incorporated and integrated early Christian modalities with Eastern philosophies. She developed techniques for self-acceptance, letting go of pain and suffering, and forgiveness. She developed the Welcoming Prayer and the Forgiveness Prayer. Mary, the former divorced housewife, was followed by thousands whom she extensively taught in five continents. Many of her audience considered her a modern saint, a role model for inspiration, transformation, and self-fulfillment. Mary mingled as an equal with world spiritual and religious leaders. Seeking truth was her religion. Amidst a sea of neutrally dressed spiritual leaders, out would walk Mary - a glamorous looking woman in a bright red dress and high heels.She was spunky, unapologetic, and fiercely herself, spiritually and physically human. An intriguing and extraordinary story.
