ON A ONE-TO-ONE BASIS -
"Practicing
the principle
of love we learn
to accept others as
they are, not as we

find we are establish-
ing the best possible
relationship with
each person we
know." (Over-
eaters Anon

"It's not the
load that breaks
you down. It's the
way that you
carry it."
- Lena Horne (1917 - 2010) U.S., entertainer & civil rights activist
