CONNECT. ENGAGE. INSPIRE

Life is made up of moments.

​

Millions, billions, even trillions of them! But the best ones? The ones that really stick with you? The ones that make you laugh so hard you can’t breathe, that fill you with a sense of joy and gratitude so profound that you can’t help but cry, and the ones in which you recognize the beauty of this life so powerfully that it almost knocks you down… Well, if you’re anything like me, those moments all have one thing in common:

​

People!

​

​

Strive though we may for independence, the fact is, we are not as self-sufficient as we would like to believe. At the end of the day, we need to be around other people to be happy! To share with them, to learn from them, even to forgive them or to humble ourselves before them when necessary. Life was never meant to be lived in isolation. No, life is a journey, and one that’s best spent in good company. Why?

​

Because that's what inspires us to be better people ourselves!

​

​

Which is why my little corner of cyberspace is dedicated not to my own rambling thoughts or opinions, but to the lives of the people around me. The lives which make mine so much more radiant as a result of their existence. I pray these stories may inspire you, too, to look up and reach out to the people around you. So go on. Make new friends in the grocery line. Say hi to your next-door-neighbor. Reconnect with loved ones you haven’t seen in a while. Step out of yourself and see where life takes you! No matter where you wind up, at the end of it all, I’m sure that you’ll have a great story to tell.

​

​

God bless,
