I love you. Thank you.
Some time last month, I was listening to a new spiritual podcast, and the speaker said that we can all heal ourselves and each other by stating, "I love you. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you." Apparently, this series of four short statements healed all the patients of a psychiatric facility, simply by being uttered by a doctor while he was looking at the patient files. I was intrigued.

Keera - Thanks for including Alice's link.

Alice started as a delightful internet acquaintance and became a dear friend. I've even had the pleasure of meeting her in real life. She also inspires me to keep up my blog. :-)
I have more to thank Alice for if she inspires you to keep up your blog. And there's a precedent - we may meet yet. There is always that trip to France. I think it's time to write that email soon.
