Very informative.......2007-07-03
I ordered three face reading books to try to get as much information as I could. This book by far was the best. She adds a bunch of humor. This book is very well written and easy to read. I recommend this to all who are curious about what the face means. I am very pleased.
Useful and Insightful.......2005-12-10
After reading The Power of Face Reading, I am shocked by the response from "Almost Useless". In her book Rosetree asserts that we all have various challenges as well as styles with which we excell at, and I think Rosetree does an excellent job of expressing our different styles for work, spending money, communication, etc. with great compassion and depth. This is not a "too positive spin on every negative interpretation"; it's more a realistic way of looking at our strenghts and weaknesses.
I also firmly disagree with "Almost Useless"'s assertion that some of the interpretations are "just inaccurate." I have done many readings after reading the book, for friends and people that I've just met, and everyone remarks how surprisingly accurate they are! Rosetree also points out that the traits of our face reveal our propensity for a certain style of being. We are all human and can choose to behave in other ways as we choose. Knowing what are preferences are can help us use them with more strength, and to also gain understanding for the strengths and propensities of others. Brilliant for relationships!
In terms of "putting it all together" for doing face readings, I found this to be no problem. Like I said, I started doing readings for friends and new people I met right away. Rosetree also explicity states to set an intention to be of service, and begin with the features that strike you the most, and then notice what you notice next and go from there. This is what I've adhered to and what has made my readings so successful.
Lastly, I would be cautious with the review titled "Gems for Tabliod and Intellectuals." I might chuckle at these having not read the book. Rosetree's book provides much more depth than these quotes reveal. The book shows us that there are many ways to be in the world, and the beauty is that we can choose. I find it powerfully useful to know my style preferences at my very core.
The best of the best!.......2005-12-03
I know this book. I know this author. Rose Rosetree is a woman of the highest integrity and she is a great force. She's been on this path for many years, researching ancient studies and particularly refining the hidden traits found in faces. Each one of her books is a gift. But the wisdom contained in this one, The Power of Face Reading, showers the reader with clues and tips on discovering the very essence of, say, co-workers, first dates, celebrities, politicians -- any person with whom you might come face to face. For those with a sense of wonder and a hunger to know more, this is an easy read.
Amazing insights.......2005-12-02
I found this book, like all the ones I've read by Rose Rosetree, to be witty, insightful, and very useful. When reading this book, keep in mind that reading faces isn't just a formula, which is a point that Ms. Rosetree makes. The whole face needs to be considered, since it is a reflection of the soul as a whole. I use face reading often, and it's amazing how accurate it is. In addition to the companion book WRINKLES ARE GOD'S MAKEUP, I strongly suggest reading AURA READING THROUGH ALL YOUR SENSES. Combining aura reading with face reading is a very powerful tool and provides a far more complete picture.
Almost useless.......2005-05-02
The author tries so hard not to offend anybody, that she puts too positive spin on every possibly negative interpretation and overemphasizes what would already be considered as a positive one. Also, I found the most interpretations just inaccurate. Examples from nose chapter:
short nose - workaholic
long nose - talent for planning and strategy
straight nose - you work systematically
arched nose - creativity
...
Ok, of course you are supposed to interpret everything and put it all together, eliminating contradictions on the way, but the book falls short on instructions how to do that. There should be a chapter titled "putting it together" where the author should explain the process of face reading: what to look first? how to determine basic information about a person and go from there? Instead the book focuses on details without giving you the big picture.
Book Description
"The future of relationships is moving us toward the vaulting awareness of who we really are as human beings, something we have managed to avoid for a very long time by being so thoroughly committed to convention...This is the future of love--vast love, love beyond boundaries, love without preconceptions and judgments, love without outdated myths--love which can actually be experienced."
At a time when over half of all marriages are ending in divorce, Daphne Rose Kingma, a well-known therapist and relationship expert, has recognized that our familiar ways of thinking about relationships are no longer working. "I have written this book because it is clear that many of our previous assumptions about relationships need to be dismantled," writes Kingma. "As we go through this process, we will discover a number of new ideas: that our relationships can have different forms than we ever imagined; that they will serve different purposes; that they will require different offerings from us. They will also bring us new gifts."
We are in the midst of a sea change, in which not only are many traditional relationships failing, but unexpected new arrangements are beginning to appear; gay marriages are surfacing, step-families abound, and many people are consciously choosing to live alone. As Kingma explains, these transformations should not be feared; instead, they represent a real opportunity. In the past, conventional relationships were often destroyed by an overemphasis on the nuts and bolts of psychology, on working to achieve the unattainable "perfect relationship" while ignoring our most vital selves--our souls. The glorious message of The Future of Love is that the disturbing changes we are all experiencing are actually part of the soul's plan, as it breaks down outdated conventions to bring us a new, fuller understanding of love.

A Roadmap, A Flashlight, and A Destination in Sight.......2007-05-29
Approximately eight years elapsed between the time Daphne Rose Kingma's book, THE FUTURE OF LOVE, was published and when it was suggested to me by a friend. Timing is everything. So is wisdom. So is honesty. She provided both to me!
THE FUTURE OF LOVE helped me quiet down and take a guided tour though Ms. Kingma's experienced eyes, mind, and soul, of the inner-workings challenges, rewards and difficulties that can either undermine or enhance modern relationships. Ms. Kingma does not give a recipe for success that 'dumbs down' things into a step one through ten generic one-size fits all recipe for baking a cake. Rather, she dissects the basics, explores the complexities, and tries to put into perspective what it really takes----communications and an open mind and heart among other things----to recognize the possibility of love and to open one's self to allow it to unfold.
Long story short----communications, communications, communications is the biggest piece I took away from this book ---and not being fearful of exposing one's absolute truths, observations, feelings, ideas and concerns to his or her partner when it comes to the myriad of facets that define a love relationship between two caring people. As a man....a 56 year old divorcee....who really needed someone to speak with, someone who would listen---but more importantly---someone who could share her insights about LOVE, Ms. Kingma's book proved to be a gender free, non-man bashing guide that is geared to the soul or inner workings of humans...men and women.
Ms. Kingma provided me with a loving, tender....but decisive--- point of view about the spiritual aspects of love and loving relationships without turning it into 'woo-woo'. It was as though Ms. Kingma was seated across the table from me at a coffee shop discussing this complex world of love and relationships.
The journey I undertook with Ms. Kingma as my literary guide was the most private and provocative literary experience I've had in years---as well as the most dynamic and helpful input that I could receive without attending a workshop. I recommend the book but advise readers to not employ short cuts or speed reading. The nuances, the shading, and the coloration of her beautiful and powerful words need to be inhaled, examined and absorbed slowly and carefully so that the full impact of her ideas can be fully realized. This book might have been 'way out there' in 1999 according to some, but for me, a rather unconventional kind of conventional man, reading the book in 2006 and again in 2007 was perfect timing and it provided me with an ideal tool to jump start things in profound and positive ways.
Brilliantly Insightful and Eye-opening Redefinition of Love.......2006-03-14
Daphne Rose Kingma's "The Future of Love" is-- at least in some ways-- among the five best books I have read this past decade, but at the same time I am now also finding it to be among the hardest books on which to write a worthy review.
First, I must warn potential readers that this is NOT a self-help book "about love." In the broadest of terms, Kingma turns our perception of how we view love on its head, and invites us to consider love in the context of the soul, rather than as an extension of wants, desires, needs, personality, insecurities, and so forth. At the heart of this lies the non-dualistic premise that love isn't something we "want," or "have," or can "get," but simply something we ARE, with love as an "expression of the soul," rather than a "want" or "need."
Kingma spends a fair amount of time examining the way we tend to push away love, through our efforts to force it into a particular "shape." To some, it may sound like she invests a lot of effort in taking to task the traditional concepts of "heterosexual marriage" and "till death do us part," but I believe those examples are merely used to illustrate our personalities' tendency to make love EXclusive, rather than INclusive. As she points out, we are "in relationship" with almost every person who comes through our lives, yet we tend to "limit" loving behavior to just a very few people. For many, she will cover some "uncomfortable ground," by making us look at the insecure ways in which we often tend to approach love, even while considering our motivations "noble" and "true."
The first half of the book doesn't actually cover a lot of "new territory," exploring love and the structure of relationships in ways that have previously been covered by other writers. In all truth, I was a bit disappointed in the book until I started Chapter 5, entitled "The Journey to the Future." And it is really the second half of the book that offers the most insightful content. Here Kingma gets down to the essence of love as something that exists at the "soul level," rather than just as an "expression of personality." In a sense, she gets as close to truly explaining the nature of "unconditional" love as any writer I have come across. This is the love that doesn't care whether two people are together or have broken up... the love transcends the "structure" of their relationship.
The latter chapters of the book explore the many "containers" soul-level love can live in. This section goes far beyond mere marriage, or "living together," and covers platonic love, group love, intentional communities, cross-generational love and much more. Kingma is not afraid to explore topics "conventional society" often frowns on, but does so in a way that suggests that the "frowning" is really more the result of ignorance than intolerance. Ultimately, she extends us an invitation to consider love in a much broader context than we normally do. This section even includes thoughts on ending relationships in a loving way, offering a distinct (and very gentle) departure from the often hateful ways that mark endings. The book concludes with explanations of "illumined" or soul-level relationships.
Final thoughts: Highly recommended (9.5 out of 10 possible bookmarks), but it requires the reader to keep an open mind, especially when reading the latter part of the book. The half mark off that keeps this from "excellence" is for the repetition of some already common-knowledge material in the earlier parts of the book.
Thanks for reading!

Really something.......2005-12-23
My therapist recommended this book, and I found it mind-blowing. I wouldn't recommend it for everyone, just for those who are really ready to expand their notion of what a relationship really is, and live by it. I've read a lot of self-help and relationship books in the past, and none quite say what this one does, that in order to truly evolve, you really need to question the very foundation you believed your relationship to be built on. Scary territory to say the least.
I give it four rather than five stars, because a lot of the book are examples that get somewhat repetitive, rather than tactics to help implement these radical ideas.
Function over Form.......2004-07-20
Kingma's book is a breath of fresh air in that she asserts that traditional monogamous marriage isn't the ultimate form of intimate relationship; that it isn't a "one size fits all" relationship that everyone must aspire to. She outlines several different nontraditional forms that intimate relationships may take, each equally valid and suitable depending upon each person's individual needs and desires.
I would have given the book five stars, but I had to wade through quite a bit of superfluous psychobabble in order to get to the core message of this book.
Failure is Impossible in Love -- Because Love is Who You Are.......2003-02-02
Daphne Rose Kingma's book, THE FUTURE OF LOVE is a literary masterpiece. It shines like a star in the night, guiding us to a new and much improved view of ourselves and our relationship histories. With compassionate words and crystal-clear logic, Kingma explains why failure in love is actually impossible -- because love is who you are. Every relationship you have ever had has been part of your life for a very good reason, and when you step back and examine your life with compassionate eyes, you can see (perhaps for the first time) how perfectly orchestrated everything has actually been.
As Kingma writes, "We stretch, and to our amazement we don't break. Instead, we grow. Suddenly, everything becomes easier, and our hearts, which once we believed could love only one person, or were battered so badly we thought they could never love again, expand so fully that the whole world is welcome."
This spiritual book can provide amazing insights for you, regardless which of the seven stages of love you may currently find yourself in (Romance, Commitment, Crisis, Ordeal, Chaos, Surrender, Transformation). One thing is certain after you've read this book -- your view of the meaning of love will be permanently transformed.
Book Description
Tricia Rose Longing to Tell Black Women Talk About Sexuality and Intimacy 'A powerful and pioneering work. For the first time we hear the painful and poignant voices of black women in all their humanity and complexity. Do not miss this pathblazing book!' -Cornel West, University Professor of Religion, Princeton University In a culture driven by sexual and racial imagery, very few honest conversations about race, gender, and sexuality actually take place. In their absence, commonly held perceptions of black women as teenage mothers, welfare recipients, mammies, or exotic sexual playthings remain unchanged. For fear that telling their stories will fulfill society's implicit expectations about their sexuality, most black women have retreated into silence. Tricia Rose seeks to break this silence and jump-start a dialogue by presenting, for the first time, the sexual testimonies of black women who span a broad range of ages, levels of education, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Both brilliantly conceived and sensitively executed, Longing to Tell is required reading for anyone interested in issues of race and gender. 'Heartbreaking, inspiring, and brutally honest....as compelling as it is sorely needed.'-Publishers Weekly '[Tricia Rose] reminds us of the transformative power of conversation in her terrific collection of oral histories...... like great conversation, the book is provocative and inspiring......The integration of scholarship and accessible conversation rests largely in Rose's curiosity, her delight in discovery.' -Adrian Nicole LeBlanc, Newsweek 'Heartrending stuff....There are gems of stories here, rich details amid tales of heartbreaking loss.' -The Washington Post 'A landmark book....bound to be a classic of its kind: it dispels myths, stereotypes, and tales about black women while giving us the truth in all its glorious and grievous colors.' -Michael Eric Dyson, author of Why I Love Black Women 'If Freud called woman 'the dark continent of man,' then the sexuality of black women has truly been the dark continent of the African-American tradition. To read so very much of African-American literature before 1970 is to presume that black women did not experience sexual intimacy, or even discuss it. This pioneering collection by Tricia Rose is as significant to the African-American autobiographical tradition as the depiction of Janie's evolving sexuality in Their Eyes Were Watching God was to African-American literature.'-Henry Louis Gates, Jr. TRICIA ROSE is a professor of American studies at the University of California at Santa Cruz.

Excellent Book.......2007-08-30
I was interested in reading this book because I am a latino male who's been involved with African American women since I can remember. I watned to read this book to inform mysself about how it was like to be an African American woman in America. I've discovered that they are very strong and have gone through alot in their lives from the stories of the many women in this book. I had read this book about a two or three years ago and it was very informative, but I know that there is still much to learn.
Hard Read.......2006-04-06
When I say "Hard", I mean this book is so strong! This book took me a while to read because I had to take breaks in between each woman's story...I could identify with more than one woman's story (I'm sure a lot of people will be able to) and that's what makes this book worth every page...I recommend it to anyone who feels as though the struggles they deal with are only theirs...
Telling it like it is..........2005-05-04
Tricia Rose turns academic research into a literary masterpiece. She interviewed 20 African American females with various ethnic backgrounds, broad range of age, and socioeconomic upbringing. Rose organized the real life commentaries on sex, intimacy, relationships, and race into a narrative that will carry you through a broad range of emotions. The women speak truth to situations that happen in every day life but are considered taboo in the African American community.
Rose starts the book with a discussion about the negative stereotypes in regards to sex and intimacy that are portrayed about the African American female in the media. The purpose of the book was developed as an attempt to answer the question, "how has the history of race, class, and gender inequality in this country affected the way that black women talk about their sexual lives?" Rose answered this question and much more. Longing to Tell is a mirror image of African American female sexuality in contemporary society as well as an oral history that serves as a vibrant presentation for everyday readers and scholars alike.
The stories are captured and categorized into three different areas: Through the Fire; Guarded Heart; and Always Something Left to Love. The women, whose names and locations have been changed to protect their anonymity, openly discuss their sexual history; how they learned about sex, masturbation, orgasms, and experience of first menstruation, virginity, pregnancy, and motherhood; sexual abuse, rape, sexism, sexual fantasy and sexual orientation. Some of the tales in the book are horrendous such as incest, rape, domestic abuse and sexual harassment but while knocked down these women were not knocked out. Many tell about the love from friends, family and at times even the smiles of strangers brought them back from the depths of despair. The stories are all different and engaging as their experiences were dynamic while thought provoking. Does your definition of sexuality characterize how you live life?
Longing To Tell is an extraordinary account on how African American women survive despite the incredible odds against them. As an adjunct professor of African American Studies, I highly recommend this book as a study into the mind of black women. As an avid reader, I strongly encourage you to read this book as a motivational guide on finding your way out of the struggle. African American women are the cornerstones of modern society and this book proves that!

Sexual Testimonies.......2004-06-23
Take a literary journey with Tricia Rose, author of LONGING TO TELL,
and read some revealing, heartbreaking, and inspiring narratives from
a host of women of color who talk about sexuality, race, and their
coming of age as a woman.
Tricia Rose begins by sharing with readers the purpose and reason for
this unusual project which opened up doors to allow these unknown and
unspoken women of color to tell their stories. The women outlined in
the book is of various ages, economic, and educational backgrounds. The extensive research and countless interviews propel this author's thought-provoking narratives from women breaking through a sexuality barrier that has always been unspoken of through generations of people of color.
LONGING TO TELL rises to the occasion, orchestrating a context that speaks from the voices of women on their sexual relationships, and intimate clichés that thrust many into a naive state of ignorance and misinterpreting the art of intimacy.
The women's names were changed along with other details to protect
their identity due to some very graphic details in which they
outlined their exposure to sexuality. It was a hard lesson for many
and a rude awakening for others. They speak on growing up in
dysfunctional surroundings, exposure to drugs, and going from one
relationship to another. Several grew up with the pretense that if
you had sex it meant love.
They explain how their families and children had to endure their
unorthodox and self-destructive behaviors that sometimes lead to
tragic consequences. One woman speaks of how her young son was
beaten to death by her boyfriend, and never realized the warning signs
because she stayed in a haze of drugs. They speak candidly about their first sexual encounters with men and women. They speak on where they were and where they are today. They explain their process of healing along the path to finally taking control of their lives.
All the women's narratives speak volumes on the depth and courage that made them survivors. In the end, the author sums up very eloquently the overall dynamics of the sexual ramifications that women of color encounter today.
LONGING TO TELL by Tricia Rose is a well written book. Tears came to my eyes several times reading some of the stories, and I wanted to jump into the book and hug and congratulate each woman on revealing their personal journey. I applaud Ms. Rose for her insight and courage to develop, research, and talk with so many women who are sisters, mothers, aunts, wives, and friends offering them an outlet in which to speak. A must read for everyone because knowledge is the key to understanding and awareness. (...)
I Highly Recommend this book.......2004-06-04
Longing to Tell consists of 20 Black women telling their stories about sex
and intimacy. The women range from 19 to 48 and all have powerful stories
to tell about their experiences.
All women discussed what it meant to be intimate or have intimacy with a
person. Intimacy was broadly defined and included more than just a sexual
relationship and included relationships with family and friends. Most
women defined intimacy in similar terms: a reciprocal relationship with
someone where you can let down your guard and express yourself without out
fear of being judged or criticized.
Other themes that arose in the course of the book were Black women's
relationships with Black men. Some of the women had horrific experiences
attempting to love and sustain a relationship with Black men, and while
some woman had sworn off of Black men and were dating outside the race or
were lesbians, most women were committed to finding love with a Black man.
The negative stereotypes of Black women in the media and particularly those
perpetuated by Black artists were discussed. Sexism within the Black
community was also explored including the stress experienced by Black women
of having to navigate racism and sexism on the outside and then having to
come home to a situation where a woman's contribution and independence are
not valued and where a woman was sometimes viewed as little more than
property.
The most disturbing subject in the book was sexual violence against women.
Many (if not most) of the women interviewed told stories of incest,
molestation, rape, sexual harassment or sexual degradation. The book
forcefully brought home the point of how vulnerable Black girls and women
are to sexual abuse and also helped me see that sexual abuse against Black
women unfortunately really is not all that surprising when one considers
that Black women have been and continue to be the objects of sexual
degradation in the media and little more than property in relationships.
Until Black women are valued for the contributions they bring to the
society as whole and to relationships in particular, it will continue to be
"OK" to continue the sexual violence against our girls and women.
Despite all the negativity directed at Black women, the book highlighted
the fact that Black women are an exceptional group who live in a world
where racism and sexism (within and without the Black community) affect our
daily lives. Nonetheless, we are the keepers of the family and the
maintainers of our men. The abuse we are subject to is unparalleled, but
we still strive. The book captured this uniqueness of Black women and a
way that I have never seen expressed before.
I would highly recommend this book to all Black women as it represents a
celebration of all that we are. Additionally, in reading this book I was
also struck by how much Black men could benefit from the stories, and I
also highly and enthusiastically recommend this book to Black men.
5 stars

Immerse Yourself into a World of Contemplations on Love!.......2005-03-30
How would you receive a daily inspiration on Love for a lifetime and beyond?
As refreshing as a Spring-time breeze, the author has compiled a beautiful book with daily reflections on the many facets of love in our lives. I have used her sections on a daily basis, by lightly contemplating on the current day's theme. Inner silence and focus on her poetic descriptions has often revealed to me, some amazing and incandescent insights! It has a remarkable healing effect that goes deep into our very essence as Soul.
The diverse and meticulous nature of the prose spanning a whole year of entries is a tribute to the loving heart this writer has. Thank you Daphne, for bringing the passion and meaning of love's many guises to a warm reality and profound practicality in my life. I highly recommend it as a graceful contemplation to open your heart to love in your life.
I was taught so many good pieces of wisdom from this book........2003-10-07
This book was published in 1992, when I was in my early 20s. I read it from cover to cover repeatedly. It taught me so many good pieces of wisdom. I had forgotten about if for a long time, when I discovered it a few days ago. I love it all over again. Daphne Rose Kingma did a wonderful job of saying alot in a few words. Thank you so much Mrs. Kingma. I will relearn your wisdom from a perspective of being 11 years older. This book is very worth the cost and effort of getting it. I am sure it will teach you new wisdom to.
Focusing Each Day.......2000-07-26
As a single mother, it is sometimes hard for me to remember to love those who are most important to me, including myself. I use this book to give each day a theme, to remind myself what is important, and to not forget the little things along the way. Daphne Rose Kingma has written a book that is as much a collection of affirmations as it is a daily hug, and who doesn't need a hug each and every day?
Amazon.com
A Lifetime of Love is yet another of Daphne Rose Kingma's tributes to the most universal emotion. As in her previous books, Kingma explores the necessity of opening the soul to love, accepting life as it is, appreciating and celebrating the moment, and integrating erotic awareness into the spirit. Gentle, musing, and wise (though not profoundly deep), it's less a how-to than a tender nudge toward the light, making it a wonderful gift for a loved one.

Kinda Cheesy.......2005-03-10
This is more of a gift book. It is gaggy. It is cute enough, but it certainly can't repair a relationship.
fast book to look at your relationship more closely.......2003-01-09
I bought this book at the end of my last relationship (a little too late) and realised that barring any major problems in the relationship this little book actually emphasizes all the essential things that a person needs to look at concerning relationships. She writes in very small workable sections that get your mind going. For instance she might use two pages for an introduction then 2 for a forward then the four chapters are made up of 2-3 page topics. Every topic for instance one might be on "small ways to show appreciation"
These little topics contain in a very simple forward way how to get back the trust and love in a relationship or how to get the blood flowing in it. I suppose if you are already in a healthy relationship or think about being in a healthy relationship I would suggest the book just as much because it gives you the insight to recognise all the healthy ways to look at a relationship... This book isn't preachy or flat intellectualism, it is a good read. If you need help in a relationship this book makes the idea of bring back life in it very barable. Blessed Be
Touching book on love.......1999-05-18
I recommend this book to anyone in love. It really makes you appreciate and value what you have. It brought tears to my eyes when I realised how much I value the love I have and how special it is.
wonderfull little book.......1998-01-07
I found the book very easy to read. I think each chapter should be carefully practiced daily by both partners. I am going to share this book with my Mom and my sister because I think they should seriously apply this book to their relationships.
Concise, extremely helpful guide to relationships........1997-12-26
Kingma's ideas on keeping relationships smooth and healthy are timeless and incredibly easy to follow. The book reads quickly and simply, yet is packed with information that will make your relationship healthier and more focused. I'd recommend to anyone involved with anyone.

Something Special to Love Each Day of the Year.......2003-02-02
This book is a gem for keeping handy for daily consultation, or just as a reference book of fresh ways to see the world through the eyes of love each and every day. The format of the book is simple; each page represents one of the 365 days of the year, and contains a heading (such as "Separate and Together") along with a short (three paragraph in this case) description of how to refresh your view of this aspect of love.
This book is truly a book for lovers (not friends), so it's the perfect gift for you to give yourself or that very special someone in your life. Whether your relationship is brand new, or has weathered the seasons of time, you'll find wonderful insights in this very thoughtful and compassionate book.
-- Cynthia Sue Larson
author of AURA ADVANTAGE: How the Colors in Your Aura Can Help You Attain What You Desire and Attract Success
Allow love to enter into your daily lived experiences.......2002-05-21
This book of daily affirmations is valuable in the sense that it calls attention to pathways of allowing love to enter into one's life. Although people tend to define love in romantic terms, this book is also about the type of love that one would share with friends, coworkers, and even the woman behind the counter at the grocery store. It is about human love.
I was fortunate enough to get this book about six months ago and it has proven to be an asset. It only takes a short time to read the daily passage and reflect upon it, but the benefits continue to reveal themselves. I have even earmarked my favorite passages and frequently return to them even though that peculiar day on the calendar has passed. In today's world of nonstop activity and individualism, it is beneficial to take time out and think about those things that matter the most - the sharing of love with other humans.
