I really do believe that God is love, one of deep affection and grace and forgiveness and inspiration.
Children need loving attention, closeness and deep affection and also loving touch. Love will make them feel safe.
My strong sense of discipline has always been with me, and it also gave me the need for deep affection. I have never been satisfied with acquaintances who are superficial, volatile, or quick to change. I have surrounded myself with people with whom I am in total complicity.
I was born and raised in the Bay Area. It's the place I got a deep, deep affection for.
