"YOU'LL BE IN MY HEART" In this seminar Marie explores how death, the grieving process, and facing adversity, even under the most unexpected conditions, can bloom into optimum opportunities to imbue children with life lessons that will alter how they approach these events for a lifetime. Through anecdotes Marie will explain how her daughter Chloe, against whom all the odds were stacked, was able to touch everyone she met promoting positivity, goodness and understanding. 

"My life with Chloe was a wild and joyous ride. Born extremely ill and disabled and given less than 6 months to live, Chloe defied all odds. From her life came my understanding that everything happens for a exactly as it is supposed to and that forgiveness is the truest personal gift. Join me as I tell the tales of life with Chloe and how one small child changed everyone she encountered - for good!"

"The lessons I learned through the grace of being Chloe's mom led me to change the lives of many. Years after I first told the story of Painting The Casket Purple in a bereavement group, I encountered an old friend, a bereavement counselor, to whom I told the story of Chloe's death and the Painting of the Casket. When I finished she said, "Oh Marie! This is you! Did you know the story of the woman who painted the casket is told throughout bereavement groups all over the county? It was such a powerful act of healing - it gives others such great hope!"

Join Marie and allow her inspirational stories to wash over you. You will be forever changed!
