The Love Story is a new media non-profit organization. Through courage, connection, and contribution we stand to help individuals transform their pain into passion, self-destructive behaviors into self-expressive ones, and love loss into a love story. Our mission is to take away the stigma of depression and lower suicidal thoughts for the bereaved and brokenhearted. We believe that the key to overcoming pain is to first embrace it, and to let it fuel creativity and passion. By focusing on three areas of social impact, we journal, educate, and inspire people as they embark on a journey of self-awareness, acceptance, and divine pursuit of meaning by taking on the Call to Adventure, discovering the purpose behind the pain. 1. As an artist collective, we produce educational programs and workshops to guide individuals in transforming their pain into passion and then into purpose through creative journaling practices. 2. As a publisher, we publish interactive notebooks containing the journal entries of our Journal-Artists who have turned their personal pain into stories of fiction, based on a true story, designed to reveal duality, so the power of choice may hopefully choose true passion. 3. As a production company, we produce intimate and interactive artist showcases that bring journal-artist & artists together through live performance-inspired journaling & spoken word-open mic nights. It all starts with pain. Like fire, it can destroy villages or illuminate entire cities. Discover the duality of desire, design, and destiny so the power of choice is revealed for your choosing. The Love Story inspires you to choose the path of Love defined in 1 Corinthians 13, in hopes that in the critical scenes of your life story, you may choose the path of your true desire, design, and destiny.
