Happy Labor Day Rosa!

Aloha certainly resonates with me: "We human beings were not meant to live alone, we thrive in each other’s company."

I spent a fabulous couple of days hiking with new friends. However, last night at home, I had the worst night's sleep I've had in a while. Upon reflecting I concluded that after surrounding myself with people returning home felt tremendously lonely.

There are plenty of stories that support this theory. They say that people in tight-knit communities live longer for this very reason.

We should all endeavor to connect... it benefits all of us!

Aloha Steph, Happy Labor Day!

You did connect with your friends Steph, so perhaps it was more a kind of coming off that energy versus loneliness? And hiking can do that to your sleep...

Ulla Hennig and I recently had a little talk story about the difference between being alone and being lonely, and as a result she wrote up a contribution to JJL on the topic. Take a look at it here:
