Making the message count

This is what it's all about. A well placed, thoughtful gesture beats the one-size-fits-all approach every time.

There are some gems on the rest of Marian's site, I think she writes well with humour and intelligence. Stunningingly intricate imagery.

The description she gives of herself is warm, honest and inspiring - a refreshing read. Reminds me of the Howies and Threadless ethos which for me breaks down as this: Work hard at what you enjoy and concentrate on the things that make you happy, everything else will fall into place behind you as long as you've got the courage to 'hold firm'.
