Anyone who reads my posts knows how much I love reading. I’m not a Bible scholar by any measure, but I really enjoy Wednesdays when I meet up with a group of men from our church to discuss various secular writings. Today, we discussed the concept of “Agape”. As our conversation progressed, I took a moment to read different versions of the word and gained new insights.
I learned that Agape is about giving generously without expecting anything back. This special kind of love is often associated with spiritual or divine love, emphasizing the idea of loving others selflessly, just as we are loved by a higher power.
All of us in the group are senior citizens, including me. We often enjoy focusing on meaningful things that matter most. By the end of our discussion, we all warmly embraced the idea of giving without expecting anything in return. It’s truly an excellent and inspiring motivator.
I’m a dreamer at heart, proudly born and raised in San Francisco—a city that covers just 49 square miles but was heaven on earth for me. Every corner of The City (as we natives affectionately call it) has been a part of my life. No area ever felt too distant. With wide eyes and an open heart, I’ve always welcomed the world around me. I find joy in creativity, wonder, and discovering new possibilities—whether that’s through international work adventures or dreaming up the next exciting idea. Even though San Francisco was my hometown, my passport has taken me to many amazing places and introduced me to wonderful people, shaping me in countless ways. I carry pieces of these experiences and friendships with me wherever I go. Above all, I treasure my family, friends, and those small, meaningful moments that keep my spirit alive and thriving. I never want my curiosity to fade away.
