Ep 77: Unexpected Love

Sitting across the table from each other eating overpriced vegan food, my now husband sat down his fork, squared his massive shoulders at me, and smiled that earth stopping grin as he said, "Hey. I really like you." From that first date, to our current life 14 years later- filled with the efforts of navigating family building, community raising and meeting in the middle; it has been the gift that neither of us ever knew was coming.  Love and deep relationships are a core part of what creates fulfillment for us as human beings, and in today's episode we start with a feel good story, and end with some ideas for what we can do to nurture any relationship; whether it's  with a whole community that you're in, a friendship you have, or to the hope of new relationships or friendships in your future.
