Maria’s Message
If I must choose someone to love over and over, I will choose me. Choosing me will take away the pressure on others to love me back, to be grateful for me. Choosing me will make me wake up in the morning, looking forward to being with me. To experience life together.
A Final Note
The law of cause and effect tells us we can change the effect only by changing the cause. If we are thinking negative thoughts, we are going to get negative results. When you keep doing the same old thing in the same old way, it’s not only called insanity…. It’s called pure stubbornness.

A wild child of the forest I was, free to explore while learning to be self-reliant. And I always found my way home.
The Choice is Yours
Every person who comes into our lives has a lesson for us. There are those who teach us, those who hurt us, those who took us for granted, those who remind us, those who encourage us, and those who love us. You didn’t meet any of them by chance. You met them for the lesson.
From the Editor
Relationships are a vital part of our lives. We are constantly interacting with other people. Whether or not we are getting along with the important people in our lives determines, to a large extent, the quality of our lives. Make it a point to be conscious when you are making new connections and building relationships.
