Greetings from the Editor:

A Warm Thanks to Faith Down Under

While living in Australia several years ago, I met a woman who has continued to stay in touch with me. She has contributed tremendously to this newsletter. If you have been reading the Suzanne Says section for the past couple of years you will note Faith asks a lot of interesting questions, usually about her relationships.

Happy Valentine’s Day.
Suzanne

by Zannah Hackett                      

Isn’t it curious how just about everything in this material world comes with an operating manual; one specifically addressing the care and maintenance of its make, model and style? I don’t care if it’s a computer, a car, a refrigerator or a package of flower seeds, we always seem to get a description in ten or more languages of how to operate or nurture the item of concern. Well, human beings also require some operating instructions if we are to understand one another...
