About

Simple Stories of Love is a blog dedicated to the one thing everyone wants more of in life–Love. But, what is love really? We all know it when we feel it towards another person. We also know it when another person feels it towards us. Movies, books and music are riddled with references to love. If we don’t have it in our lives, we search for it in our entertainment. We love to love.

We also often throw the word around to describe any positive feeling we have about something. Do we really love things though? I believe we really can love things as much as we love people. I love books. Am I using the term loosely here? I read probably between 30 to 40 books a year (always before bed and when I commute), which is somewhere between 400 and 500 hours spent per year doing something. How many other things in my life are devoted to doing or using something. Isn’t that love? I love my mother but I don’t spend 400 and 500 hours a year talking to her (although granted it’s probably close and something I really should improve upon…sorry mom!).

This blog is about love–the simple story behind their love. Not just romantic love, but all sorts of types of love. It’s an exploration of people, what they love and why they love it.  I will be interviewing people to tell me their simple stories about what or who they love. How it began and if applicable how it ended. Why they love and how they show it. How does their love make them feel.

The first entry is started by me and it’s my simple story of love for my mother.
