Love is food; it’s fuel; it’s energy. It multiplies; it envelops; it seeps. Love is what we need; what we want; what we were created to give away, not keep. Love is a noun, a verb, an adjective … It is a thought and what we can willfully choose to become our narrative. It is […]
The company you keep defines who you are. We are who we associate with. Tell me with whom you associate, and I will tell you who you are. We have heard these sayings for decades.
