I'm showing a picture of my husband, Mel, under this title because Mel is a true gentleman. He respects those around him, he treats me with kindness in public and private, and he treats his elders with great care and compassion. When we were dating, he always respected his own set of strict boundaries and made me feel cherished as a woman, not objectified.| Tweet |  Delicious |
Colleen Coble writes romantic suspense with a strong atmospheric element. A lovable animal of some kind--usually a dog--always populates her novels. She can be bribed with DeBrand mocha truffles.
Denise Hunter writes women's fiction and love stories with a strong emotional element. Her husband says he provides her with all her romantic material, but Denise insists a good imagination helps too.
Diann Hunt writes romantic comedy and humorous women's fiction. She has been happily married forever, loves her family, chocolate, her friends, chocolate, her dog, and well, chocolate.
Cheryl Hodde writes romantic medical suspense under the pen name of Hannah Alexander, using all the input she can get from her husband, Mel, for the medical expertise. For fun she hikes and reads. Out of guilt, she rescues discarded cats. She and Mel are presently taking orders from four pampered strays.

So true, Cheryl. We could use so much more of all the qualities you listed.
Okay, the above comment was made by me, not Kristin. I forgot she used my laptop at conference to blog and she was still signed in. LOL
nice picture!
LOL, Denise. Now I'm wondering what Kris would have to say. And as you guys taught me this weekend, we could begin the kindness by being polite to ourselves, because when we do negative self-talk, it spills onto others.
jel, I love that photo of Mel, too. He looks so natural in that setting.
Cheryl, I love how you talk about your husband. Always in a positive light and with admiration. It's a quality all wives should take note of.
It shows respect and love and it's a blessing to witness.
Yesterday, at an intersection in a fairly large town, there was a young, homeless guy asking for money for food....no one was responding. However, after my husband gave him money, all the cars in line behind him did. The guy was happily rushing to the hands holding money out their windows. Kindness has to start with someone.
Thank you for those words, Sabrina. I know for a fact that if Mel didn't have a good heart, and didn't encourage and uplift the way he does every day, my life would be totally different. He's the one who sets the tone in our home.
Jackie, that's it, exactly. It takes one person to make a difference. One person's loving attitude can change everyone around him--or her.
