Dear Mr. Zaghi & Friends of Love is the Solution:

I am a proud wife and mother of three beautiful Peace-Loving children.  It’s been an honor knowing you & Love is The Solution organization.  What a joy it’s been to join you in this very important effort & mission to bring more Peace to our Children’s World…as you know this is not only my Professional Passion but also my Personal Mission.   As a Child Psychologist, and an early childhood educator I believe “Love Is The Solution”.  When I teach Peace Learning Parenting to my Mommy Groups, the most talked about topic of interest has always been “Compassion”…parents want to know how to form that “Love Connection” with their baby.  This very authentic interest of parents in “Love & Compassion” is a clear evidence for why Love Is The Solution.

The truth is, Love is what brought us together.  My mom’s love for you…my mom’s love for me… my love for my family…my love for my very dear friend who was going through severe heartbreak and suffering at the time…my Prayers & Compassion for my friends…my daughter’s love for the White Dove visiting our home (a very interesting spiritual experience/story to be told one day!)…my friend’s love for you & humanity …your love for your family…your love for humanity… your beautiful family and their love for humanity, family, and friendship… and so forth…So, dear Mr.  Zaghi, on behalf of my family, friends, and humanity, we are eternally grateful for your efforts…. Love is the Solution’s effort to educate and encourage all persons to engage in more Fairness, more Love and Acceptance, more dedication to doing one’s Best, and your eternal commitment and determination to Cultivate More Peace and Love for all.

Fondly,
Nelly Farnoody-Zahiri, Ph.D.
