As some of you know I've been convinced Love is an "illusion". With my past sobering situations I've been jaded, pessimistic, numb to the core and completely dismissive of the idea of LOVE. Yet, lately I've found myself surrounded by so much love and generosity. From meeting the Iranian family on my second day here who immediately took me into their hearts and home to the incredible people I see sacrificing so much of themselves to help make this world a better place to the wonderful friends I have and made who do everything and anything to put a smile on my face to my beloved family who let their one and only go on the other side of the globe to embark on her dreams...and so much more of the beautiful sights I see everyday of my journey. I'm continuously humbled.
In this last year I've learned a whole different meaning of love and generosity which has begun a journey of renewing my faith and belief in the religion. With this "rebirth", if you will, I'm taking each day in, pushing myself as hard as I can and doing what I need to do to show the world I LOVE! It's difficult for me in some aspects but I'm trying. As we begin this new year and with the glorified Valentine's Day around the corner, take this time to think about what love means to you? And how you can be more generous with your Love?
With that I will leave you with a video by The Jubilee Project about "What is Love?" and see what Sasha Ditcher's Generosity Experiment is all about from Acumen Fund:.
Thanks for reminding us that love is something all around us and isn't limited to the love between lovers! Happy love day, every day!
