Dear Oprah,
November 16, 2012
Hi my name is Mary Jean Ziska. I
watch your own network and used to watch your Oprah show on
television. I wanted to thank you for
making positive television. For making a
positive impact in people’s lives and to tell you I really
enjoyed your life class with Joel
Osteen . To the message about God’s unconditional love.. and the
wonderful / great life God has in store
for each and every one of us…using positive affirimations…. The “I am……” it
is so refreshing and so inspirational! Your show has made a difference
in my life and I look forward to hearing
more life changing and helpful
Sunday life classes . I live in Naples
Florida and I was able to have my mom
watch your show with Joel Osteen on
Sunday evenings… and I have tried to
get my mom, and sister involved …. I remind them of the shows and I pass
along your email messages to them when I find them really interesting….. and
inspirational and will help to encourage
them…. I was raised Catholic and have a
strong belief in God’s love for us…. And
I want you to know how much your messages have touched my heart….. I have been praying with my mom each
night…for probably about 5-6 months…. And I have been praying for special
intensions each and every day for the past 4….almost 5 years….
I have two reasons for writing you today…. I wanted to share
a story I wrote to my sisters for Christmas in 2003… it is based on God’s
perfect plan for our life… about Gods plan for the right person in your life….
I loved hearing about your prayer to God….. so that he would use you…. …. Hearing that… made me
want to share my story with you… It’s
just a little story.. not anything like the novels you read and
that you share with the world….
But it touched my heart that God
answered your prayer in such a large way… and with the ability to make such a difference in the world… I really
admire your angel network ….. and wish
you would do something along the lines of Angel
investing…. Where more Americans can be able to start
businesses and become successful…. I believe if more people were following their passions.. and the call on
their life… their real purpose…. if
they would be able to pray to be used to better the world as you did….
More small businesses would turn into
large businesses and in turn will l help with their self esteem.. their
happiness level…… purpose in life, and with their own businesses they will be
able to employ others and hopefully have
amazing mentors and eventually be positive mentors… and it will catch on like wildfire… able to impact
lives and families all over the united states…. ( but I got a bit off subject..
that is just a wish … or thought… not the main reason I am writing… )
I went on to your website and accepted the challenge by Joel Osteen… and wanted to tell you a bit about my life
now and hopefully with this
challenge I hope to write again and let
you know how impactful your show has been…. And the Joel Osteen
challenge was in my life… and how things have changed fo r rteh better….
and hopefully I can write again and let
you know about who I want to do and who
I hape
When I wrote this
story about “my gingerbreadman”…I even started a website I named
www.mygingerbreadman.com . I started the
website thinking I could have such an amazing story about meeting my prince charming… and what a
lovely story to tell our kids… someday….
In 2003… I just knew so many amazing women who I hoped
would find such great happiness in life
and love…. I wrote the story about “my
gingerbreadman”…. when my faith was
soooo strong… I honestly believed that God ‘s fatherly love and his promises would come to pass in my life…..
Alas, when I wrote the story…. I did not even now that at the time I had been the victim of identity theft for a
full year… or more…. And later, as I had gone through tons of research I
uncovered I have found that for the past 13 years I have not
been protected by God …. I have been victimized… by somne really scummy people…. And my life has been completely ruined….. I had
not only my identity stolen, but false
mortgages were placed on my home… and over $200,000.00 were stolen off those mortgages.. I have been the victim
of actual theft where clothing
jewelry and even items that were person to me were stolen… like date function pictures from college were stolen…. And personal
items…. Mementos… and keep sakes…. Like
pearl earrings my dad had given to me… a
cashmere sweater my mom had given me for
Christmas… shoes my sister had given
me were ruined… and from the
start…. businesses and files on clients and even personal account were compromised….
Which led to two businesses being completely stolen…. And leaving me to each time have to try to
pick up the pieces and move forward…
with less in my life and less in my heart and less of my future
and my dreams ever happening… I
have been conned and lied to and hurt by so much and by so many people… so that my
trust in people …. Well let’s say it is definitely not what it used to
be…. Almost each and every time I went out of my home I
found that people had come into my
home and not just breaking and entering … to steal ….they
used my home as if it was their own home… and people knew it was happening and they let my life be violated…. while these criminals
ate and partied and ruined my life… 13
years of ruining my life… for their own selfish intent….. I kept praying…. Kept
filing police reports… kept trying to do
the right thing… while the criminals
continued with their
manipulation… and their schemes and no matter who I tried to contact I never seemed to get thought to the right authorities who could help…. I have been through more bad experiences in these
past years then my entire life…..
and ones that have really e really ruined my life…. and I don’t understand where God has been in all of
this….… I can’t believe that he would have ever wanted me to have had
to had all these criminals who have ruined
my life… I can’t believe that God would
have allowed this on purpose…..
allowing 13 years of my life to be ruined..
my credit to be ruined.. my home ownership to be threatened…. For me to be
bullied until I was throwing up and lost
30 pounds…. And to presently be on
medical disability with an abusive guardian who harmed my independence and homeownership and for me to
be on food stamps….
I actually had a great life… a great child hood and amazing
family and friends… I had a great
credit score…I had a successful business
and plans for my future even
had money put away for either
going to interior design school or get
an MBA…. I had worked hard, been honest
and tried my best to do the
right thing in all instances….. I had
tons of great friends and a loving wonderful family….. for crime
and slime to ruin all I had.. all
I wanted…. It was not God…. Or
goodness…. or love…. I prayed and believed God was like my dad… someone I could
always count on, and who made my life
better. I believed in a God who made my life better …. And not just financially … but
with divine connections…. And with placing hopes and dreams and opportunities
in my life…. and this God I believed in, made those dreams he placed in my heart…. He made those dreams come true….
After these 13 years worth of the worst experiences of my
life… I am asking you to pray for me…
In my prayers each night I pray for a huge financial miracle…. So that my home is
not foreclosed upon… that the identity thief damage and fraud is made right… that monies
and possessions stolen are restored to me… that I can restore to my family all that has
been ruined and destroyed by these same criminals… and that all of our
affirmations hopes and dreams can be realized… I pray each and every night for
protection from all harm…I pray God stops all the people who have
lied , cheated and stolen from me and my family…. That God will remove from my life and my family and friend’s life all the
hackers, fakes, fraud and manipulation, the trespassers, bullies identity
thieves, imposters con artists and that God grants protection and freedom from all the evil horrible selfish mean people
and especially for all their
selfish and manipulative intensions….
I pray that God
Blesses me and my family and
restores with his one breath of his
favor…. everything that was stolen and
broken and ruined by these criminals and con artists…. in my life…and in my family’s life…. I prayed that God grants me the finances
far beyond my wildest dreams… and in a way that cannot be stolen from
me… or conned away from me… by the identity thief… and their criminal crew… that the horrible mean people are never
allowed to ever harm anyone like they
ruined my life… that they are not allowed to ever do such damage…. That they it
all on purpose… and they did it with
malicious intent….
My life if so far from any of my hopes and dreams I can’t wait to die and be in heaven … with
real people who really Love me and won’t isolate me… so they can hurt
me….or steal from me or my family and
they won’t be ever be able to manipulate…
and lie…. and harm me ever again….….
they have taken away everything I love … and I see no godly reason behind it…. I guess I am hoping since God can’t
possibly be listening to me.. that
perhaps if you pray for me…. That
God’s favor will return and my
prayers will be answered…
You mentioned in your prayer about not casting away my
confidence which has great reward….. that “when the intensity heats up that
mean s you are closer to your victory”…..
But for 13 years?…..
I think it all started when I moved into a great gated community… and since my dad was so honest… and I was soo
honest and we believed the best in people… there was a group of evil con
artists who decided to ruin our lives
for their own benefit…. And once ensnarled in their web of their constant manipulation and lies…
they stole everything they could…… they lied about everything they could and they ruined everything they could….. and
the worst part…. they got away with it ….
They even dressed up as authority figures… like police… or contractors…
or people I once knew and loved ….. or
anything…or anyway to manipulate…. they
manipulated phone systems…. hacked into phone messages…. And they are still getting away with it… they
are trying to have horrid lies become the truth….. like my mom losing an income
property….which is her home… or lies
like laws that are supposed to stop criminals ….. and protect innocent people… that they don’t
apply….. they want to make me believe
that their criminal activities are not
subject to being punished….. I even had
the unthinkable happen…. There were people even
protecting and sticking up for
these criminals…. Like the girl karne
kahel who bullied me until I was shaking and throwing up… they wanted me to
believe that the laws don’t apply…… that it was alright… that she
must be more important than me…. And it was alright that she bullied me…. These horrid people on my phone told me the unthinkable
that they were my family… that they
didn’t love me … that they had all
sorts of problems… and just more and more
lies…. About my family, they are sick they are dying … they need money… they
are taking this or that and doing this
or that with my families possessions….
With items my mom had saved for
us….
And just as they
stole lives… and hopes and dreams… … just as they stole my mom’s baby-sitting business…or stopped the
etiquette school…. Or stole my faux
painting business… just as they stole possessions she had gathered for her children all over the world… and saved for us…. Even
my baby blanket was stolen…. This is how low and evil they are…
and even though I
pray each and every night… there are too many of them and they are too evil for
just me to fight them…. And I am soo
tired of not living the life I should have had… missing my friends every minute
of every day… and missing my family and my hopes and dreams…. I am so tired of
having to fight a bunch
of horrid people with evil intensions….
When there are more of them and they are so evil…. And when I pray for miracles… I can’t see God
or his plan in any of it…. …. And I can’t believe that when you say that all
things are known by God… how could he have ever let this happen?…A God who is
my father….. who had a great future planned for me… why couldn’t he protect me
from these criminals… why can’t he protect me from these criminals now? My dad would never have ever let any of
this happen …. Not the dad who took me
to school in france… and gave me a round trip ticket… so I could go back…. Not the dad who wanted me to have a
great safe condo of my own… or the dad who was my biggest fan… who I got interested in the bible stories on CD….
Even he would never have ever let me or my life be harmed…. And my mom… the
fiercest woman ever …. who protected her children… an loved them and really wanted them to be happy…. And did
everything she could to make that
possible… she would never …. Never
proteted some girl who bullied me… NEVER…..
and I sure would have never let any of this happen to any of my children… being the victim of identity theft, where my
credit was ruined, nervous breakdown
after being bulled… and then the bully
being protected by the same criminal group who
lied cheated, and stole from my
family… having these criminals go through my
mom’s house and my home and steal each and every year…. And then their
lies… constant lies…. And constant
manipulation…. I have been manipulated for 13 years by a group of people who
think they are God and can do anything
to anyone and get away with it…. And they still do and have…. I am
the victim of people lying and harming
my life for their own selfish intent
cheating and stealing from me… I have been harmed on all levels of
life……. Had been bullied to the point of a
nervous breakdown… backer acted three times when I wished
I was dead instead of having to endure any more abuse… I have had bully
mail and emails and phone calls… I am constantly disappointed in
people who pretend to be my family and friends and only do so to harm my life…
I’ve I confided in people who
I thought could make the criminals stop and instead I was
punished…. None of this was ever in God’s Plan…. I didn’t get sidetracked.. I didn’t have any
problems.. I was living my life and was
nice and innocent and sweet… I was happy and had so many hopes and dreams… for
such a great future… and I am saddened
that no matter how much I have prayed I still feel really alone…
and feel that I am surrounded by con-artist scum…..
Its thirteen years stolen from me… that I cannot get back… I guess I want to
know if you can pray for me ….just a regular real girl… mary Jean Ziska and I
wanted to make sure you had a copy of my
story…. Maybe there are others who
actually do get happily ever after story book lives…with the right
gingerbread man that God has selected…. I hope so… perhaps next time I write I can
tell you that God finally answered my prayers and protected me… and that he
answered my prayers for that huge financial miracle…. And allowed me to have the life I was supposed to have before a
bunch of criminal scum ruined everything…..
I still hope there is a happily ever after… but I guess we will have to wait and see….
I also started two
websites… one on the damage these criminals have done to my life…. ( www.mysearchforjustice.com)
hopeful light and fun with possible dating stories… (
www.mygingerbreadman.com
some of the blog posts are where I can put other thought s and even some
about the trials and tribulations….. and
an overflow of the website
www.mysearchforjustice….
In any case… Please
know that I still love God and believe I
am going to heaven…. I pray each and every day for a better future…. A great
future…. And followed the show where you discussed with oprah about saying … I am….. so I started to say I am a born again child
of God expecting great and wonderful
miracles to happen for me each and every
day…. I am protected from harm, I am blessed, I am a billionaire ( the world just doesn’t know
it yet) I am loved, I am happy, I am successful, I am fulfilling all my hopes and dreams… I am
fulfilling all of my affirmations, I am
restored and blessed so much so I can bless others… I can lend and
not ever have to borrow or go without…
I have everything returned and
opportunities , businesses renewed and successful, …..
So I guess I will see God’s plan for my life I hope it is
great I used to believe it was supposed to be great but now I don’t know….
If you want to use
“my gingerbreadman” story to help inspire people that God does have a plan.. a
perfect plan for their lives… for their futures for happiness
I give you permission….
I thought when I wrote the story that I was supposed to be
that example of how God can have this
perfect plan and perfect person waiting for us.. but maybe since It never happened for me.. maybe my purpose was
to give the story away… that this story
that started off as m y story…. And that I was hoping would be my story… of happiness and love and God’s
favor…
that instead…. It was
my story to write… but to give it
away to someone who could better pass
along the message that God does love us and want us to be …happy..
Joel, Mr. Osteen….. you have the platform to tell so many
more people about how God fashions us each to be and to have a perfect Gingerbread man or woman….
Thank you for your kind attention to this letter I hope
it reaches you and
you can use my story to help
other people to believe in Christmas miracles…
and God’s love and favor…. I wish I could have been that true example of what would have been possible and
allow people to see God’s goodness and
favor for my entire life…. . I’m sorry that God forgot me for a long while.. and I hope with your prayers he will remember I exist…
Sincerely
