Love makes the world go ’round…or so they say. In this day and age, love has taken on multiple personalities to fill the needs of every person, every situation, every need, every opportunity. Love has been diluted by overuse and misunderstanding.
Only love matters in the bits and pieces of a person’s life. – William Trevor
And what matters most? It’s that we loved at all. The lyrics to Kenny Rankin’s song, What Matters Most, help us to understand life’s most important moments and emotions.
It’s not how long we held each others hand
What matters is how well we loved each other
It’s not how far we traveled on our way
Of what we found to say
It’s not the spring you see, but all the shades of greenIt’s not how long I held you in my arms
What matters is how sweet the years together
It’s not how many summer times we had to give to fall
The early morning smiles we tearfully recall
What matters most is that we loved at all.It’s not how many summer times we had to give to fall
The early morning smiles we tearfully recall
What matters most is that we loved at all.What matters most is that we loved at all.
You can’t love someone out of addiction. – Jean Krisle
Love does not equate with enabling their behavior in any way, directly or indirectly.
An unintentional leader, influencer, and socialpreneur, Jean Krisle intentionally founded and continues to lead 10,000 Beds, a 501c3 nonprofit organization now in its 7th year of operation. Building from a desire to support the many individuals without resources seeking help for a substance use disorder, Jean built 10,000 Beds from a simple idea to a nationwide, life-changing and inspirational force in the addiction & recovery community with more than $10,000,000 in addiction treatment scholarships awarded nationwide.
As an admired speaker, coach, and consultant, Jean speaks from decades of personal experience on the critical strengths of courage, hope, and resilience in business and personal lives. Jean motivates us to face each day with courage, tenacity, hope, and resiliency. She inspires all of us to recognize the strengths we’ve gained through the challenges we’ve faced.
Jean passionately reminds us that we are all in recovery from something and that recovery from anything- loss, failure, disappointment, addictions, etc. – is something we should build on and be proud of! And she teaches us how to do it! For more information about Jean’s availability please contact her via email at jean@10000beds.org.
