Through innocence, creativity, and genuine connection, even the smallest act can touch heart. An inspiring tale to learn how to love, be loved, and touch someone’s heart.

The Magic of Touching a Heart

Love is a universal desire, a longing that resides in every human being. But how do we truly touch someone’s heart? How do we give love and receive it in return? Is it a magical process, or is it something we can understand and cultivate?

Many believe love requires alignment between the mind, heart, and soul. Like rain, it follows a process. The water on the ground must be touched by the sun’s energy, evaporated, and sent high into the clouds before it can return as nourishing droplets. Love, too, follows a similar path.

Even at 64, having been loved by many and having written and read countless love stories, the revelation of this process remained elusive to me. That is, until a recent dinner at the Paris Cafe at TWA, Terminal 5 in JFK, New York.

A Dinner with Family

My daughter, her husband, my two granddaughters, and my wife gathered around the table. The conversation flowed, and the love was palpable. But it was a simple gesture from one of my granddaughters that truly touched my heart.
