I was seated alone at church, in the silence of prayer, her presence was so<br>clear I could hear the movement of her garments as she knelt before me.

Her image speaks of unconditional love, family, peace, and healing.<br>Women often connect to her with a Goddess sense of empowerment.”<br><br>Lanus taught school for over six years to the middle school level, as well as<br>teaching privately to adults and teenagers.
