I would feel quite satisfied knowing I contributed to the happiness of my children. Children could give my life meaning …

I've worked on myself in so many different ways; through art, dream work, various kinds of yoga, meditation; presently, vipassana meditation, but never have I gone to therapy.

Accepting is Loving
