This book is the chronological story of how I met and became a part of Mary’s family. Mary constantly inspired life lessons about how to truly live and her advice is transcribed into this book. Mary Mras was a remarkable wife, mother, sister and daughter, educator, and a teacher of all. Anyone fortunate enough to cross her path surely felt her magnetic presence. Mary lived her life with intention and by example, showed us how to live a fulfilled life not by being famous or boisterous, but by simply sharing a smile, laughing through tough times and loving her family. It’s my hope to share small glimpses of a phenomenal woman, as she influenced my life, as a teacher, mentor, friend and mother-in-law. Throughout this story are Mary’s words of wisdom which are in bold italics. This book also contains e-mails from Mary’s husband, Tony, that give us an up-close view of her battle with Leukemia. The Epilogue is the story of how a sudden event forced me to re-evaluate my life to be more like Mary. The end is a list of ‘Mary-isms’ on life.

Can she find happiness in a big city with an on-the-rise basketball star or does her heart lie somewhere else?
If you think, this is simply a self-help book, then it perhaps loses its essence right that moment. It travels into a genre that perhaps isn’t very common; a perfect blend of fact-fiction that brings about the way that the brain functions; to imagine anything and then logically do what it is trained to. What we observe is that dealing with emotions or talking about it isn’t very simple and maybe not even encouraged as it most often is misinterpreted as a sign of ‘weakness’ and slowly the inability to traverse through the feelings corrodes the very shard of one’s existence leaving them hanging out dry. The Book turns the readers’ attention back to the levels of the mind that hold the Secret to unravelling what stops them from creating a great life.
