To be open and share with others is an art I have learned -Rainer how rewarding it truly more recently than not. ButMaria Rilkeis. To feel a deep connection to someone that means so much to you. To feel like you know someone magical. To tell them how much you love them. It is so crucial for us to ensure that we surround ourselves with those who nourish and uplift our hearts. We are here for each other. Love and connection is a force so inherent within our souls. It is the reason why we are here. But also, be thankful for your solitude. The solitude that means being alone without being lonely. The quiet time that allows you to reflect on all that has come into your life. To step back from those you love with the intention of allowing yourself to fully soak in and embrace what you have. And behold the great importance of conversing with yourself; to make sure you are still friends with YOU. And to further allow yourself to develop your intimate relationship with your surroundings and nature.

Be so in love with other souls and solitude that you honour them both with your time. ■ Carly Gouweloos, BBA Editor & Designer of Another View Business & Creative Development www.carlygouweloos.com [email protected] 6
