Couldn't agree more, my love......I can't believe how amazingly easy it is for you to take the simplest, barest of rooms/places, and create within it an incredibly warm, comfortable and inviting atmosphere...not too cluttered, not too empty or bare...and full of the most perfect color and furnishings...Everything seems to be in just the perfect place...

Your new apartment is wonderful. You can live somewhere for two days, and instantly make it feel like you've lived there all your life...

you're not surprised by this, are you?

I have a 2:1 degree in English Literature and 3 A-levels in English, Media and Business.

However, I do not consider these qualifications as fundamentally important. The most important qualification is one of the heart and that is the greatest goal I am striving for.

The awards on paper are just a means to an end in the current system of education and employment. God gave me cetain abilities and I used them. However, I do not define myself through my secular employment.

Even if one has a Masters or a PHD, it does not give him or her the right to speak to others harshly or abusively. Such behaviour insults the intellect.

We all have different abilities, talents and qualities, but they do not make us better or superior to the next person.
Ultimately, what I believe is most important is a kind heart, coupled with peace and understanding toward others, whether you personally agree with their thoughts, religion and/or beliefs.

We can always agree to disagree and somewhere along the line we may have reached a better understanding of each other.

When you chose a person to spend an evening with, do you select purely on the grounds of academic criteria or do you favour the person who is friendly, warm, kind, considerate, well-humoured and sociable?

Even though the margins are screwed, you may bring everything back under control
by watching yourself type. Just stop when you have made a reasonably long sentence
and hit enter.

I am really enjoying the responses even though the subject is now drifting
which is common due to ones not wanting to read all that has been said.

The point is: Before one becomes so angry that it makes him begin insulting
another human being, reflect a moment on the positives of that person.
There is nothing wrong with that,
Then give your opinion by all means. Use your freedom of speech.
This freedom does carry with it responsibilities, and this holds true for Prince, too.
Some of you have invested so much time and money into the artist that
you feel it gives you the rights to ownership of the artist.
Hellooo. You have what you invested in right there on your shelves.
None of us (I could be wrong) have known him on a personal level long
enough to judge his personal life.(unless Mayte's in the house...you out there, girl?)
There are a few among us who know him quite well and these are the ones
who seem to have the most positive vibes toward him. They have been impressed
with his kindness.
I have no mirror to his soul. I can only reflect what is in my own.

Please understand that whether we are talking about Prince or a fellow orger,
we are still talking about fellow humans with feelings and s.

So, I agree, in the long run it is not the awards, the honors, the titles, that count.
They are nice to have nonetheless and can make quite an impact on ones
lifestyle and the life one offeres his children. The Bible suggests that we should
request neither poverty nor riches (it gives nice reasons).

It's who you really are inside that counts...and that is what we show one another
when we make statements.
