Gratitude

I thank my husband, without whom this book could not have existed. His presence in my life allowed me to realize the importance of every lived experience. He gave me the courage to share with the world the ingredients needed for perfect relationships. Showcasing his unconditional love from the moment we met, he made me understand that the perfect relationship is real, when we open up to see it. I want to thank my husband for his support, encouragement and for constantly believing in me. I thank my children for teaching me to love unconditionally, contributing to the writing of this book, by simply allowing me to write every day.

I am grateful to all the people who read this book while writing it, who offered me advice and guidance to make the information as charming as possible for readers: Florin Păsat, Diana Sotir, Mirela Ivașcu.

Special thanks are addressed to Gina-Eugenia Richițeanu, for being my companion every step on the way, helping me to choose the most appropriate words throughout the book. I am sharing my gratitude for Cristina Lorincz and Maria Claudia Wotsch and for their considerate and mindful work that allowed this reading to flow impeccably. I thank Marinela Timofte for her support in printing the first edition of the book. I thank Valentin Dogaru for giving me one of the most important tools, the computer I sat at with pleasure every day to write. I thank Diana Marina Trascu for being with me in everything that is beyond the actual writing of a book, a work that we do not see, but which is as important as everything else. I thank Barbara Grzegorzewska for the drawings meant to bring more clarity throughout the book.

Writing a book is a team effort, and without it, a book remains a manuscript covered by dust. 

I thank all the people who contributed to the life experiences described in the book and who are now role models for readers. This book is valuable because it includes your life stories.

I thank all the people who encouraged me to write this book.
