HOMEPAGE




Have you ever wanted to love someone with all
of your heart and with everything you had,
but the other person was too afraid to let you?

..So many of us hide behind a wall because we
are too afraid to care too much...for fear that
the other person doesn't care as much, or might
hurt you if you let them get close...

Life is all about risks ... and sometimes it
requires you to close your eyes and jump ...
Don't be a person who looks back with regret
and wonders about all of the 'might have beens'
or the 'could have hads', if you'd just had the
courage to have taken that chance on someone
who wanted to love you.



... Life is too short to waste being alone if you
don't want or have to be .. & no one waits forever.
There's a saying that goes something like:
"It's better to have loved and lost
...than to have never loved at all"

So take a deep breath ... close your eyes ...
and jump!
Take that leap of faith ... it might be straight
into the arms of someone who's been
waiting there to catch you.
