About Marleen...

I like postcards about water, such as waterfalls, rivers, sea- and beach views but also rainbows, water in art, etc. Also I am fascinated by the northern lights (Aurora borealis).

Untill 11 years ago I was a full-time mother of three children, I divorced and started working. First as a cab-driver, afterwards as a security-agent and now, after some trainings, I am working in mental healthcare and social services for homeless and drugsaddicted people. I am studying for a professional counseler in pastoral care, spirituality and sense of live. And I continued to be a mother of three children . . . . . .

I feel a strong spirit in my live and I call this power 'God'. I believe God bares him/herself through personal and universal virtues in people longing for love, peace, food and justice for everyone all over the world.
I am raised as a Roman-Catholic but I call myself a progressive, eucumenical-minded catholic. I think the R.C.- Church as an institute is in an urgent need of renewal on at least 5 different aspects: (1) democratization, (2) theology of ministry for women and men, (3) removal of the obligation of clerical celibacy, (4) autonomy of personal concience of the faithfull concerning sexual identity and family-planning, (5) an inviting, the Gospel-like, message of love and compassion instead of a threatening and people-excluding message of punishment and anger. We, the community of people, are the church!
In my spiritual life I get inspired by Jesus of Nazareth, Mahatma Gandhi, Hildegard of Bingen and Charles de Foucauld.

I am interested in eastern and western esoterism; in gemstones, herbs and oil for therapeutic use and I like to make my own perfume; I like to read, to walk along the beach and in the forest.
I thank you all in advance for sending me a postcard.
May the peace of God be part of your life!
