See in others what you have taught them to expect from you and returned to you.

Honor your agreements to build confidence, safety and trust in all your relationships.

Recognize you build your own strength, courage and trust with being dependable and reliable.


Keeping your promises is truly your gift of Love.

I intend to keep my agreements to love you no matter what!

And so I am and do Love You,
