On the beautiful weekend in NYC, I had the privilege of listening to Naomi Shiyab Nye, an amazing poet and speaker. She reminded us of many things but these especially stood out: one, to "Please Pause" and take in the beauty that surrounds us, and two, "Everytime you love someone not exactly like you, your heart expands." Listening to her wonderful words reminded me that at the heart of it all is love. Relationships are how we build our lives and relating to each other is the key to everything. I hope you have a week of wonder and good relationships, that sometimes require us to Love Hard.
