LoveIs: Intricacy of Love - Close The Deal

LoveIs: Intricacy of Love - Close The Deal

Love Is Spiteful.… Love opens doors into our very being. This opening provides opportunity to truly know someone’s soul, their priorities and what is truly important to them. When we choose not to correctly manage our relationships, it can cause others to behave unexpectedly or even irrational. We have to be respectful of the power of love. Love Is Spiteful

LoveIs - Intricacy of Love: You Got Me Too?

LoveIs - Intricacy of Love: You Got Me Too?

Love Is Painful… There is nothing like betrayal. We have to be mindful of the people that we love and those that we hurt. There is always more than one perspective on every human interaction. We must seek to understand each perspective to reduce our role in the intentional and unintentional pain that we cause. Love Is painful…

LoveIs - Intricacy of Love: You Got Me?

LoveIs - Intricacy of Love: You Got Me?

Love Is Relentless… Even the perception of love can make people behave inappropriately. We should focus on our love in the right way constantly. We should not take for granted love that we are receiving. Love Is relentless…

LoveIs - Intricacy of Love: Get Up The Nerve

LoveIs - Intricacy of Love: Get Up The Nerve

Love Is Vengeful…. We each feel love to various degrees. Based on how we love someone, we normally expect that same level of love to be returned. When Love Is not received as it is given, it can create a vicious gap in a person’s psyche.  Remain mindful who you love and who loves you. There is a thin line that separates positive and negative passion. Love Is vengeful…

LoveIs - Intricacy of Love: Basement Moment

LoveIs - Intricacy of Love: Basement Moment

Love Is Unexpected…. We naturally want love to always go a certain way. We want to believe it is the best thing that can happen. The reality is we are along for the ride. Like anything else in life, when you do not fully appreciate what you have, there is always a risk of losing everything. Love Is unexpected.

LoveIs - Intricacy of Love: Introduction

LoveIs - Intricacy of Love: Introduction

Love Is provides a collection of experiences from different perspectives. We all want to believe that love would be different “IF”…. If we did something differently. If we were in a different scenario. If we had one more chance to make it right. Othello provides us all a glimpse into what life could be like, if we made different decisions with love.  Love Is so many different feelings and emotions to different people at different times. Love Is Unexpected. Love Is Vengeful. Love Is Relentless. Love Is Painful. Love Is Spiteful. Love Is Fleeting. Love Is Patient. Love Is Unconditional. Love Is Real. Love Is Confusing. Love Is Rewarding. Love Is Blinding. Love Is Healing. Love Is Peace. - - Sy Bryant

CoSurvivor: Introduction

CoSurvivor: Introduction

Co-Survivor is a battle of understanding the direct impacts of the  Breast Cancer diagnosis on patients, as well as those that travel the  journey with them. There are very limited open forums, where those that  are on the sidelines have as a respite. Where we congratulate and  celebrate the ringing of the bell for the survivor, the co-survivor is  left in a state of awe. With a deep emotional feeling, questioning, Is  this really over? Co-Survivor walks through this journey of a young  couple battling with this gripping diagnosis. The agony that is  accompanied by the diagnosis, the treatments and the lingering feeling  that it is not over. There is hope for the couple, but even that seems  fleeting in the moments of constant speculation that the cancer could  spread without notice.
