"There is as much wisdom in listening 
as there is in speaking--and that goes for all relationships, not just romantic ones." 
-Daniel Dae Kim
 

Besides listening to hear and understand one another in all conversations with all of our relationships, let's share our thoughts, feelings, and ideas with respect and kindness, keeping in mind this guiding wisdom from Buddha:

"Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill."
 

"Communication - the human connection - is the key to personal and career success," says Paul J. Meyer.

For our own good and the good of all, let's be influences for good and instruments of peace.

With love,

Charlene

  May you look for what is good in each other.
|May you respect each other's differences.

May you touch tenderly, speak kindly,

and listen with attention.
