Superb example of what The Fathers called “dying to the self”. This is a woman far advanced in theosis.

Amazing-—for all these years I’d wondered what happened to her-—I remember one quote from her from those years, part of a TV Commercial, I think, with her telling someone else “My mother always used to say, “if you concentrate on doing just ONE THING, you can be the best”. Lucky for Andrea, she left when she didn’t have anything to prove. Smart woman.

Andrea became a nun and Chris Everett became a home wrecking slut.

Way to go Andrea!

To get away from Martina Navratilova?

"If you've brought joy to a child, or protected them in their need, if you've lent a hand and put them under your wing, for me there's nothing that compares."

Well said.

Unfortunately she knows a few things that many won't or can't possibly understand.

Some people have a tough time knowing when it is best to keep their mouths shut and when not.

Sometimes a hard call to make.

I'd lean in the direction of a little kindness and understanding at least this once....
