Maybe you were like so many of us in our 20’s and you made a bunch of decisions that were not the greatest.  Then you experienced natural consequences.  This week’s Grief and Gratitude guest is Mary Ann Mariani.  She got a little wild in her earlier years and ended up with a very unwanted STD.  This was her grief.  (The courage and vulnerability it took to share this is nothing less than remarkable.)  Mary Ann felt unlovable and racked with shame.  She was mad at herself.  Ultimately she made the choice to return to her faith and the veil of guilt and shame lifted.  Gratitude came, and it was good.

She has been on the show before in A Passionate Artist of Story.

You can find Mary Ann on her website at Kingdom Presenters.

Her book is on Amazon here Your Story for God’s Glory.
