Just wanted to say I love you so much …as a woman of God and as a friend. I also want to share how much I appreciate you for who you are and our connection as well. You are an amazing person and I’m honored to have you as part of my life’s experience.

Thoughts on being pursued
The longest ongoing war in the world has been pitched by men against women. Men seek to control, possess and destroy women, in general.
