Mary at Ninety

My online friend Sue Olsson has been urging me to create a website that will reflect what I've done and experienced (so far) in my adult life. I think the best way is probably by the six categories above.

I sell books online in eight different categories, most especially education, but others as well - with either a review or an excerpt to read that'll give you a good idea of what the book is about. .\

Click on the Down-to-Earth Herbs link to look at my organic calendula ointment, ragweed desensitization kit and mosquito repellent pages. Calendula is an amazingly healing, anti-itch, anti-bacterial, hypo-allergenic ointment that used to be available only at sky-high prices from firms like Boiron! I sell it at less than half their price - and mine also contains five times more calendula than any of the others!

At the bottom of the page are five other links to more personal topics. Especially take a look at the pictures my son Tom took of my ninetieth birthday party ! It was glorious. I wore a crown created by one of my friends!

Sylvie Hetu from Montreal took the picture above during the summer of 2008..And below is a wonderful extension into the fourth generation, at my granddaughter Sara's graduation from Loyola University with a Master of Science degree in Business Administration - my daughter Ellen on the left, me on the right, with my mother's picture for comparison.

Take a look at my old index page, with its dozens of links. And if you're curious, read the preface and a couple of early chapters of my memoirs, listed below, all about my parents, my childhood and early years.

The poems are some I've received requests for more than once - "Dead Doll," nine times! I love the old-fashioned, juicy, sentimental sentiments toward these two subjects so dear to old women: dolls, from their early years, and courtesy toward the elderly (themselves!).

I should perhaps explain a bit about including the "past lives" link below. I discovered these other "me's" by working with Deep Memory [i.e., past lives] therapist and scholar extraordinaire Roger Woolger - and others - in the 1980s. .
If you read about the most recent one of them - the boy who died on the Titanic in 1916 - and what I discovered about "my" presence there, it may seem a little less strange that I have come to believe that past lives are real. Actually, I've read that their reality was accepted as real by most religious groups, including Christianity, until the era of the Emperor Justinian, under whose codified laws the belief is omitted as in error - or worse! He also closed all Greek and Roman shrines,m including the temple of the Delphic oracle.
