About the Author

What Is Love to YOU?

For me, Love is not about money or power

or things. Love is about smiles, kind words

and hugs filled with appreciation.

Love is spoken and unspoken but lived

through sharing acts of hope and support.

Love is comfort through the storms of life,

and clearing the debris of disappointment

and despair as I move forward with faith

and a peaceful heart!

What is Love to YOU?

Good Neighbor Project…

May We All Be Inspired With Hope–

Re-membering and living as Good

Neighbors all over the Earth and

Throughout the Universe… .

For Our Children…

I can only hope that our enthusiasm and

desire for goodness becomes more poignant

and real each passing day.

May we learn to embody mercy and

compassion for all so that all are safe and

free to make good choices.

May we live our lives as a good neighbors

in loving prosperous communities of respect

and tolerance.

May we share
