We can both protect our hearts and open them. It’s not one or the other. One requires the other- Mark Groves

Love is full of trial and error.

After going through a divorce, I now understand why love is exciting, daunting, and one of the greatest adventures you can ever embark upon.

Love invites us to do strange, beautiful, and funny things.

We all want a deeper connection with ourselves. A better relationship with our partners, family, and friends. Yet, it seems as if the expectations for love have never been higher as we get lost in a fantasy instead of letting love take its course.

Love becomes a destination rather than a journey, and we do everything but the very thing we crave most as humans.

Through heartbreak, I gained valuable revelations that have allowed me to love harder. And while love is never as simple as it seems, I do believe we can always learn to love more.

Love isn’t our enemy, but our ally.

Each of our heartbreaks offers us a superhighway to something bigger than ourselves, and lessons that teach us to love harder.
