Welcome

We are all temporary visitors here, passing through on our own unique journey. Despite our varying backgrounds, I believe we are one community, one world.

As such, it is in our best interest to learn from one another, share our trials and triumphs, and hopefully, leave the world in better shape for those that will follow.

I believe that there is a better way to experience life than what we've been led to believe, and I'm actively seeking to find that way (though, surely there are many).

I believe that love conquers all.

Most importantly, I believe.

Love is...

Love is a lot of different things to a lot of different people.  Here are a few things that love is to me.

Love is being aware of someone’s flaws and accepting them just the way they are
Love is gentle encouragement, unwavering support
Love is giving another the freedom to be who they are without judgment
Love is letting someone go so they can find their own way
Love is celebrating happiness and achievement together, as well as commiserating sadness and loss
Love is being there
Love is being honest, even when it’s not easy to do so
Love is a tender kiss on the forehead when you think no one’s watching
Love is extending the benefit of the doubt
Love is allowing another to follow their dreams
Love is freedom from obligation
Love is wanting to, not having to
Love is indisputable commitment, unlimited compassion
Love is a reassuring word, a hug, a gentle squeeze of the hand
Love is sharing an inside joke
Love is finding common ground to bridge your differences
Love is putting another’s needs before your own (without ignoring your own)

Love truly makes the world go ‘round

What does love mean to you?  I'd love to hear some of your thoughts!
