do you realize how powerful love can be?

The power of LOVE is truly endless.

Love has a way of making magic happen, when we least expect it. Love is so beautiful and profound, we couldn’t fathom its’ vastness if we tried. Love is one of the easiest ways to fill a room with light and make someone else feel warm and fuzzy. Love can be our greatest weapon when we face turbulence and opposition.

As insane as it may seem, truthfully, love is all we need. Love is the solution to EVERYTHING. Love is not just a feeling we reserve for others, it is a feeling we should feel deeply, at all times, for even ourselves. Love is internal, external, and eternal. Believe it or not, love can be the difference between life and death.

From my experiences, when I am feeling my lowest, and I’m feeling very near to my utter breaking point, the one thing that always flashes into my mind is…. Love! I instantly begin to imagine the people in this world who have ever loved me, both near and far. I reflect on times in my life when I’ve had the pleasure of meeting wonderful people in public who’d impacted me in a positive way. These moments are heartwarming, no matter how worked up I am feeling.

between life and death for my friend Ariana. Because we all fall susceptible to feeling helpless at times, I wanted to make it a part of my journey to shed light on Ari’s story and always bring honor to her legacy, in her memory.

when it’s our time to leave this planet, all we will leave behind is our impact and our legacy. I can say, the hardest part of acceptance in the passing of my friend Ariana, is just knowing how loving and beautiful of a person she was, inside and out.

I guess it’s safe to say it hits a little different knowing how loving she was. I know, my empathy tells me, she was in such deep need of external love. she needed to be held in that moment, if even just for a second….

In this moment, I can feel her embrace around me…. and…. she is in such a better place now. God bless her eternal soul and spirit. and, God bless anyone reading this post who can personally relate, or relate by way of extension.
