::: A Priceless Valentine - mother shares love for son

GoodLetter, Feb 14, 2002 by Jennifer Johnston

:: Jennifer Johnston

Although partial to a good compliment, Jennifer will eat a chocolate heart any day of the week. She is newly inspired to create regular compliment circles and establish a compliment board at her office. She enjoys life in Seattle, a good cup of coffee, and searching for tadpoles with her son. This is her first contribution to the GoodLetter. Her favorite goodthings? http://goodthings.com/01_05_misc_goodgravy.asp#jennifer
