I am female.
It is in my nature to be kind; it’s how I was raised, it’s what I do.
Do not misconstrue this kindness for anything.
I am a mother.
My children have grown, they've found nurturing spouses. My nurturing, now fully developed, needs a new focus; I’ve chosen you.
Do not misconstrue this nurturing need for anything.
I am a woman.
I care and I want to help. My family is fine; they are well cared for,
they no longer need me, but you might.
Do not misconstrue my need to help and care for anything.
I am human and I love.
My children have found love from their husbands and wives.
Please love me: I’m kind, and nurturing, and caring, and helpful.
But don’t misconstrue this love for anything.
My husband won’t like it.
I love your blog voice, Karen.
