From Mary Brodsky (One of Michelle Carmela's mentors and mother figures) written February 27th, 2012
"Michelle is an unusual Christian, a real believer, no faking it.
Her multiple brushes with death have left a unique understanding few are willing to even consider although her health has been very bad, the consequences of childhood abuses, she is forever active--even from a death bed. She has worked her way out of health problems, doctors said was impossible, nearer and nearer to total healing through nutrition. [Your health and brushes with death have; with the addition of your personality of easy speech and communication; and the abuse, have left you a multifaceted--fighter--over comer--conquerer.*]
Her tolerance of others religious philosophy's of life is astounding. She can see past others' misconceptions to their heart. She just pushes aside their outward conceptions and comes to grip with their reality. They in turn, genuinely respect or fear her. [ Your experience with the Hindus in their Temple *]
Her bravery and wisdom in facing real issues even dangerous ones is admirable.
She dose not let a moment go by in her life experiences without giving them purpose. She takes everything, including the rottenness, and undauntedly use them to bring healing to others.
She speaks the truth in love and forbearance, but also with strength of conviction. At other times, without any forbearance in the cases of wrong or abuse. She is a strong outspoken, steward advocate against all forms of abuse world wide. She lives her faith."
