About
The Love Project Inc. came out of a very personal experience; that of losing my husband and companion of five years, on August 15th 2008.
Chris was sick for almost three years and everything about his illness and passing was extremely dramatic. But more dramatic was the love we felt for each other and the love I still feel. This powerful feeling gave us respite from the pain, strength for the fight and at the end comfort. Sharing, exchanging ideas and support and inspiring each other is the idea of the site. So after almost a year in gestation on May 11th 2009, The Love Project Inc. was launched.
My hope is that the written and visual information on this site will entertain, stimulate, move and comfort everyone who pays a visit. And mostly I hope you will be inspired to participate in some form with your thoughts, feelings, and art to the growth of The Love Project Inc.
