-- TO MY FRIENDS --
No matter where we may be,
at home, in our local community or at work,
let's always strive to greet other people
in a fresh and invigorating manner!
Our sincere actions enable us to
strengthen our bonds of trust with others.
Let's create gardens of friendship!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Throughout the long history of humanity, women have suffered the most whenever society has been wracked by war, violence, oppression, abuse of human rights, disease and famine.
It has been women, in spite of this, who have persevered in turning society in the direction of good, in the direction of hope and in the direction of peace. Women hold the key to opening a future filled with hope, as Mahatma Gandhi asserted: 'If by strength is meant brute strength, then, indeed, is woman less brute than man. If by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior.... If nonviolence is the law of our being, the future is with women."
