About

Tell me a love story.
Not one you’ve read or heard. One you’ve lived.     -Robert Fulgham

When I was 18, I read a book by Robert Fulgham called ‘True Love’. Best known for ‘Everything I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten’, his ‘True Love’ book took that same idea of viewing the world in simpler terms, and showed us that love is magic, no matter how it came to be.

It is because of that book I became so fascinated with how the story starts. Out of all the people in all the world, what twist of fate brought any two particular people together? As I hear people’s stories and think ‘What if they’d taken a different street to go to that coffee shop?’, or ‘What if they’d gone to the bank first that day?’, my belief in fate is re-affirmed. A million things that could have gone differently to prevent two people from being together, yet there they are.

For all my cynicism of the world, I am a romantic at heart. I believe in happy endings, and I think even the ones that don’t work out leave us with powerful lessons about ourselves. I profess to hate Valentines Day, while deep down longing for the kind of intimate celebrations they show in the movies. I am a sucker for a romance novel, while well-aware they are nothing like real life.

Above all, love gives me hope for humanity like nothing else does.

Everyday Love Stories is meant to be a place that I hope will give readers their own warm-fuzzy feelings, and just for a few minutes remind them that there is magic in everyday life, and that every love story is worth celebrating.
