50 Acts of Kindness #5 of 50, Continued...

Hi,
When I saw Marie at QVC (2009), I bought her book to be signed for a very sick friend. I told Marie what was wrong with her; she has RSD and Marie new immediately what it was. I also asked Marie if she could possibly say hello to my friend (Lisa Gray) on the air because I knew it would just make her day. Marie did not hesitate one second; she grabbed her Sharpie, made a note of it on her hand and also asked Connie to remind her. Well, she said hello to Lisa and Lisa was just thrilled. It definitely made her day. I will always be grateful to Marie for doing this. My friend lives in Arizona and I live in New Jersey and I have no way of really helping her with her situation right now, so this was a way I could bring some cheer to her life. Sending her the signed book also made her very happy.

50 Acts of Kindness #4 Continued....

When I was at a crossroads in my life, and questioning God and my faith, I just happened to be at a doll signing with Marie in DC. I don't know why, but there of all places I was compelled to ask her something, Even though she is who she is (a big star) and I am just who I am (Just me). But I asked her about Church & God and how she knew it was true .She gave me a hug and whispered her testimony in my ear and wrote some scriptures for me read. I was deeply touched that she would take the time to answer such a personal question right there in the line of the doll signing. But her devotion to God was very apparent through her gentle & kind witness to me. In that small moment, She touched my heart deeply, and I know that was God's love shining through her and out to me. Now, really, how many people can do something like that whether they are a star or not? She is a special person.
