Nature is a SeductressNature is a seductress. And a good one.
She knows her power but has no need to force herself upon you. She makes you think this little affair is your idea, that you made the first move.

How can I love better this year?On one of the first fresh days of this new year, I had a come-to-Jesus moment.
I’m dating a wonderful new man. In a sweet moment of closeness, his purity and goodness were undeniable. I couldn’t imagine ever treating him badly, holding onto resentments, or failing to meet him with an open heart.
