a girl born in Jamaica, half West Indian mix and half Chinese. When we were married almost 30 years ago there were some looks. Glad I genuinely do not care what others think. Yesterday I read a quote by Alfred Adler, Austrian medical doctor and psychotherapist (1870-1937) that did not give me a feeling of well being..."There is a law that man should love his neighbor as himself. In a few hundred years it should be as natural to mankind as breathing or the upright gait, but if he does not learn it he must perish."

Ancient Sanskrit saying

May all be happy
May all be free from disease
May all creatures have well being
and may none be in misery of any kind.
