Thank you everyone for your kindness. I know this past year has been quite different then the previous 15 in which I was quite active online and creating content. But my heart has never stopped wanting to continue onwards. With my calling, my mission – where I am now is still equally a part of it. I remind myself that I’m exactly where I need to be in order to get to where I am going. And the most important thing I can do is be present with these moments. As a father, a friend, a lover, a son, and a leader.
In the past I officially made July 18, my birthday, World Free Hugs day. And as far as I’m concerned it still is! So all I ask is what I always have asked- the greatest gift we can all share is to shine the light of our authentic self. And so…keep doing that. That’s what I want! For you to be you. Because together- that is when our ripples make waves.
My kindness is your kindness.
Our love is the love. Always…
-Brendon
