Marie Well

I’m Marie Well, as in healthy well. At least, that’s my aim—to get well and make you well. We all have woes, from breakups to cancer to hoarder houses. I’m here to fix those woes—with tips mixed with my own tales.

Why read me? I’ve got a track record of fixin’ stuff. I’ve cured myself of anxiety. For a decade, I had anxiety attacks that struck almost daily. When not stricken, I’d write Voice articles, mostly on how to combat stress.

And then my world changed. One week went by with no attacks. A month. A year. Two years. And counting.

Now, I want to skyrocket our health—and bolster our creativity. After all, nothing soothes better than strokes of paint or tones of music or reps in a gym.

So, let’s get fit, creative, and well with Marie Well.

Speculations on NDE’s and Hellish Experiences

Near-death experience accounts of visiting the afterlife can be viewed as qualitative, as similar themes occur across cultures and age ranges.  These themes often include pure, unconditional love beyond anything we have experienced in this world.  The themes also involve beautiful colors more stunning than any color on Earth and sometimes beautiful music, where everything… Read more »

Machiavelli’s Sister

“Here is a test to find whether your mission on earth is finished: if you’re alive, it isn’t.” —Richard Bach (as cited in Pim van Lommel, 2010, p.  1) I want to write a treatise called Machiavelli’s Sister!  It will be the polar opposite of The Prince, by Machiavelli.  My goal is the spiritual ideal,… Read more »

Toxic versus Helathy Choices!

Health can become a fun form of fanaticism and has many benefits.  Toxins, on the other hand, lead to suffering.  Getting hit with a disease where we can no longer work, where we suffer to the point of nausea, where we are isolated for a decade in a black room with no sound, barely able… Read more »

Thoughts on Wealth and Generosity

In a sales course, I learned to balance empathy with focus, or in other words, be a bunny and a shark.  The bunny is the super sweet bearer of customer service, and the shark sinks its teeth into the wallet.  Although the teachings taught me to close the sale and get the highest cut while… Read more »

The Passing at the Children’s Cancer Ward

I had been entertaining my friend’s daughter who had a brain tumor erupt and was labeled as a vegetable by the doctor at the children’s emergency hospital.  But I knew she was lucid but couldn’t express herself due to paralysis.  I knew this because I had taken a Community Rehabilitation class where I learned that… Read more »

An Easter of Love

On Easter Friday it somehow slipped my mind that it was Easter Friday.  We had just seen a movie, when we suddenly pulled over, and I was asked to run and pick up a submarine sandwich.  Quickly flying out of the car, I was lost at first, especially as I have very poor vision, and… Read more »

Paradise Is Right in Front of Us

People always want to go somewhere to feel paradise, but it’s all right here!  It’s always been here.  It’s the biggest endorphin rush on the planet, making even a grocery store build-your-own sandwich taste like five-star gourmet eating.  And anyone can do it.  It’s called exercise.  The greatest secret is that the more we exercise,… Read more »

Visual Listening Makes Us Shockingly Funny, Creative, & Inspirational

I initially wrote this article about the positive impacts of visual communications, focusing on humor, creativity, and the benefits of visual communications, especially when speaking with people with Alzheimer’s.  However, visual communication has since transformed my world by over 360 degrees, so I’m inclined to rewrite this article from scratch or rewrite this intro to… Read more »

How to Save While Pursuing Dreams?

A loved one wants me to pay over $20,000 worth of debt.  But who wants to spend the next 10 to 40 years grinding down debt? Not me! Although it’s necessary, I can’t get excited about paying off debt.  But what excites me is paying down $5,000 in debt while planning the dream holiday: four… Read more »
