Did You Know?

..."children from divorce suffer from more depression, anxiety, low self-esteem. They experience higher rates of suicide, feelings of rejection, drug and alcohol abuse, delinquency and criminality and diminished learning capacity leading to more school failure. They have poor interpersonal relationships, are increasingly the victims of abuse and neglect, and are two times as likely to divorce than children from intact families."

LOVE

Love is such a powerful word yet it has so many meanings.
Some of us use it to get someone we care about off the phone.
Others are fearful of it, so they go out of their way not to use the word.
Yet we are all drawn to a desire to hear it and see it in our lives.
We see it when someone is patient with us as we grow and learn in life.
We feel it when someone forgives something we said without thinking or acted harshly.
We know it by the mourners who sit by our side through a loss.
We observe it when we see a mom tenderly nurturing her child in a public place.
We realize it when it is aimed at us with an unconditional pact of friendship.
Love is all around.
Love does not discriminate, it can be received by anyone willing to give it away.
