REAL STORIES
OF FIRST LOVE, LAST LOVE & ALL THE LOVE INBETWEEN
LoveNotes! is a storytelling show, a book, and a podcast in which real people share real stories about romantic love in all of its incarnations. You will hear poets, lovers, dreamers and anybody else who’s ever been in love share their TRUE LOVE stories–from heartbreaking to heartwarming. Any story about romantic love in any of its incarnations fits the bill.
A LoveNotes! story is the kind of moment in which Cupid has shot someone in the heart and that person has lived to tell the tale. It’s about stories of first love, last love, forever love, unrequited love, the against-all-odds love, gay love, trans love, the one-that-got-away love, happily-ever-after love, unexpressed love, if-I-could-do-it-again love, online love, arranged marriage love, worst date-ever love, friends-to-lovers love, never-ending love, Oops!-that-was-a-mistake love, second-time-around love, and on and on. You get the idea—any story about romantic love. No stories about how much you love your mom, kid, teacher.
Created by Heather Christie, originally in New York, and spreading throughout the country, as a book and podcast as well as live speaking events.
In January 2025, I was honored to present the unaugural “LoveNotes! – Indy”.
We are spreading love, one story at a time, with laughter and possibly tears, stories that celebrate and inspire. And the best part? Proceeds go to support a non-profit organization that also spreads love. Come join us!
