Letter to Cheryl Wright

Once again, you have reached inside my very soul and put words to my very feelings and thoughts.

I actually started to sing the song Secret Love (Reveal your Secret Love in the February 17 issue of WomanWise).

Again, it is as though you were inside my head and heart listening every second. I found myself looking around my office wondering if anyone could see my tears.

Thank you. You are truly an excellent writer above all, a godsend. I feel that your column is here for a reason and I selfishly think it is for me and mine.

My daughter and I enjoyed and discussed your last column (Banish mediocrity in the February 3 issue) of settling for a mediocre.

Thank you so much for your words. God bless you and your family a million fold.

Wendy

Letter to Donna Baptiste

I just wanted to say thank you for the wise advice you give to the readers of your column.

Your column on helping parents deal with teenage pregnancy in the February 10 issue) spoke to me on so many levels and hopefully one day, when I too become a parent, I will be able to look back on these moments and remember that having patience, understanding and a non-judgemental attitude towards others can go such a long way.

Best Wishes,

Helena van Lare
