May I suggest, for those of us who teach children, another source for imparting love and care for ourselves, our co-workers, and children we 'nurture'. It is called 'Nurturing the Spirit in non-sectarian classrooms', by Aline D. Wolf. Written from a Montessori point of view, it is easily used in most educational settings.
Maria Montessori wrote in her 'Education for a New World', "Education should no longer be mostly imparting of knowledge, but must take a new path, seeking the release of human potentialities." (1946)

For me, the Love, Loss and Forgiveness Project opens up that "new path." It gives me a clear road map to follow towards my own gifts and that is the best present that I can give the children I teach. For if I reflect that love and respect for myself, they too will learn to love and respect themselves. What a concept! It is as important as eating and breathing. Thanks for doing this work, it is so important and the world needs this path now, more than ever.
