“Choosing forgiveness doesn’t mean that the wounds will suddenly vanish. All healing – physical, emotional, and mental – takes time. Choosing forgiveness means that you’ve decided to begin the healing process. ” Doe Zantamata
“Have you ever heard someone say one thing and then do another, and asked them why? You may have been shocked at their reaction…”Don’t judge me! What are you accusing me of? How dare you ask me that!” and immediately began to apologize for asking, as your intention was none of those things. You just didn’t know why they said one thing and did another. Sometimes, it’s just a sensitive subject. Other times many times, the reaction comes from them judging themselves, being afraid of being caught in a lie, or trying to hide something. Stay aware, and realize that if you can’t freely communicate, this may not be a healthy friendship or relationship for you. ” Doe Zantamata
“Because equal rights, fair play, justice, are all like the air: We all have it, or none of us has it. That is the truth of it.” —Maya Angelou,
Ancient lovers believed a kiss would literally unite their souls because the spirit was said to be carried in one’s breath.

“Mine is the Month of Roses; yes, and mine
The Month of Marriages! All pleasant sights
And scents, the fragrance of the blossoming vine,
The foliage of the valleys and the heights.
Mine are the longest days, the loveliest nights;
The mower’s scythe makes music to my ear;
I am the mother of all dear delights;
I am the fairest daughter of the year.”
– Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
