* This blog has been formulating itself in my head for some time now. It's dedicated to the ponderings I have when driving, the random thoughts and debates that go through my brain in the shower, and the discussions I wish I had finished at dinner.
* I am not a writer, though there are times I wish I could be paid to write. (Don't all bloggers?!) As you read this, just remember it's all based on opinion. That doesn't mean I'm closed-minded, but rather just passionate! So please feel free to share your opinions, thoughts, and questions. I always welcome a good debate!
* All that being said, sit back, relax, and enjoy! :)

LOVE

Love.
This theme keeps creeping up.
On TV - specifically The Voice lately
In music - how many songs are written about love?
My family - Emer
The thing is, I'm not really a lovey dovey kind of person but things have changed a bit in the past 8 years. For those of you have kids, I'm sure you know what I mean. The nearly instant love that appears when you have a kid and only grows as that kid grows is amazing. For those of you without kids, just remember when you were a kid and how crazy you were. But your parent still loved you the same. You may not understand it but it gives you an idea of the kind of unconditional, total, and full love that comes from being a parent.

Enough of that. This blog is inspired by The Voice. I've never watched it until this season and I have to say, the family support is amazing. I love seeing parents, brothers, sisters, friends all cheering from the side lines. Their support is fantastic! But, even more than that, I see more love in the children who are supporting their parents. They are children, yet they demonstrate unconditional love towards their parents. What a beautiful thing!

There's also love between the coaches and participants. As many people know, I have a girl crush on Miley Cyrus. It's only growing stronger as I watch her tear up and cry when her contestants are eliminated. She truly cares about the people on her team and wants the best for them. In fact, she really wants everyone to be happy and free and living their dreams. It's a beautiful thing to see a celebrity not only talking about people being loved, but showing and cultivating that love.

The end game in  life is to find happiness, peace, and love. The best way to find this is to give it. So let's all look around and find how we can spread love to those around us!
