“I became more fully alert to this while reading Love-Connects. Just pages into the book, I realized that I often approach relationships with an agenda – a task in mind as to what I want to accomplish. I want to re-think that moving forward. I hope to be open when I meet with people in order to hear their stories and connect in a way that benefits the other person.
This will be a difficult book for some readers because it requires being present to hear other people’s stories. Being present is sacrificial, which means giving something away. For me, I had to give away the priority of focusing on my own story in order to hear the message in this book.”
