Happy New Year, everybody. I wanted to start this new year with a very specific tone based on an ad that was out seven years ago. And it's always a great way to start the world. The year, I think, is to look at all the hope and all the possibility of us just getting each other and loving each other. And this ad is by the Ad Council. It's called Love Has no labels
And sometimes we are forced to do so somewhere the love gets lost. We don't realize the potential of that relationship which is capable of experiencing and a lot more, making us much better people, making love so much more, so greater. And somewhere it just becomes bitter and it just doesn't stay pure anymore. So just reminded of that song when I listened to this. Cheers. Well cast and watched the video. I just wanted to share this with you. And yes, cheers

Hey. Cheers, Jackie. That's great. I love that it reminds you of your song. And I also think you nailed it with the potential issue of if you clamp it down with restrictions, there's no potential there. So it really speaks to using your imagination and staying open and allowing yourself to be a student of love. And whoever it surrounds you, whatever the nature of it, is, to sort of allow delight to come over you
I guess I just want to know more of the practicality of what it means. Because everyone is love, right? There's no one on the face of the Earth who has no worse, who is beyond loving. But I guess to look at it from a sense of I'm human, you're human. We're in this thing together. Let's love each other. Let's be grateful we're here. Let's join hands

I mean, I think all species have that capacity to conjure up connection that feels full body, full spirit. And in the political arena, we know that love has been used as a weapon. Like people have said, these people can love and be codified in the house of marriage and these people can't. And then that has gratefully shifted

Which is a very outdated principle, so to speak. However, in some places, it still exists. So I wanted to really kind of sink my teeth into an example of what I hall, the limiting love, meaning you love in a particular way when someone is doing the right thing in your eyes. And I think a lot of children have really been through that. I think there are a lot of children who have tried to perform to the parents standard, right to get love
