Thank you for stopping by, Marianne. I am very much a novice at harp, trusting that one day I’ll have more time to devote to it.
Please let me know if you and Bruce have sites I could visit.

Hi Katherine,
We haven’t yet created our website(s) that speak of our ministry and who we really are, our passions and mission in life. But that is to come! We have a radio show every Friday at 3pm Eastern time out of NYC you can find archives and listen live at http://www.progressiveradionetwork.com we are called “Truth and Freedom” with Bruce and Marianne Curtis. We always try to bring the truth that will set folks free and always bring out the spiritual truth in every situation that is the source of our truest Freedom!We do have a beautiful website with lots of good science for our products that we bring to help people with their health. We feel very good about bringing the best of the best in organic supplementation and The Hydrogen Rich Water Stick is truly superior (found at http://www.livingwaterusa.com; other products at http://www.livingfoodsusa.com). I already shared some of your work on my facebook page! Bruce has a facebook page as well. Blessings to you!
