“What is love,” someone asked me. “You mean being in love, or love itself?” “Both?” Well, let me ponder that. “Being ‘in love’ is an infatuation. At least, it appears so. It’s used by the same sort of people, in my experience, as those who use phrases like ‘protect the relationship’ or ‘I give 100% …
I come home most days to a person I love, to whom I’m committed in life and love. I would venture to say most of us do, or hope to one day. Pair-bonding is natural with social creatures; humans are social; easier to bond and share time when you share same space. It’s nice to live with the one you love, or can be.

At least lately.” “Okay, so you only want cookies and cream from now on?” “Uh, no. What?” “If you really like cookies and cream, you should only want 🍪 and🍦.” “I’m sorry what? What …

I learned many lessons from my family growing up. I learned lessons from my siblings, from my mentors, from my friends. The second most important lesson I received from my mother was this: Happiness is a choice. At the Las Vegas “Life is Beautiful” festival, the year it first began, I painted this sentiment on a …
