This is bravery and courage, her words will offer much comfort to many women through their heartbreak"- Sam Payne - Co-Founder & CEOThe Pink Elephants Support NetworkLovena's letter is filled with words of wisdom, hope and gratitude. Some of the thoughts allow me to draw inspiration from as a writer. Having reminders for myself allows me to grow as an individual. These words that Lovena have mentioned "You don't need to be perfect because perfect is fantasy". This is so true in many ways, as we all wish for that fantasy in our life. Even my own fantasy for self actualisation can be fruitful in so many ways. Lovena really makes you feel that her words are a lesson for all of us to follow. As a fellow contributor with Lovena, I have appreciated and stood by the lessons that she has taught, and her Letter in this book is a reflection of that.- David Vine''I have had the honour to give my input to the text written by Pallavee Y. Periapayen on Celebrating Women Empowerment - our source of inspiration and belief in the future.The way she described the glory to all the ladies who had a mark in bringing and being the change is so deep, well structured, inspiring and above all makes us reminiscize the greatness of all these women who have been role models sometimes in the shadow and sometimes in the limelight to pave the way and inspire young women.It also depicts their perseverance, their beliefs, their selfless efforts and their might and plights in bringing their contribution to the cause of building a society, mentality and new world with equality, justice and hope for the future. The use of inspiring words to commemorate and revitalise them in our daily quest to forge a better world is laudable. I fully associate myself to this initiative.I have no hesitation in commending the Letters of Love Book as a source of motivation to all the active ladies engaged in the construction of a new era of hope.''- Ms Naveena RAMYADChief Government Whip (Republic of Mauritius)
