What is the purpose of this website?
This site is a webportal for any person in need of Love. Love comes in many ways be it support, smiles, or kind words. We hope to help individuals find love in their busy days for themselves and others in order to find inner peace. Ideally this is a home to various ways in which you can find love on your own or offer love to those around you. Love is also a web space where you can find compassionate, caring individuals who would like to extend their reach to others who find daily life hard.

Who is Natasha Lee?
I am a 25 year old Canadian woman, I am a musician, a student, and a wife. I am now overcoming years of self-hate, fear, self-harm and clinical depression. Although I have used medication in the past to cope with mental illness, I am now using Love as a method to heal, mature and become a better person. I find that through a positive mindset and through compassion I have been able to forgive my past and my personal pain. I believe that the easiest road to healing is through Love for yourself and others.

What inspired your decision to create this Website?
I come into contact with angry, bitter people on a daily basis. The general feeling that I get from the general population is that there is a feeling of loathing for the self and towards others. I would like to offer a place of healing for everyone to find a way to get away from the veneer of hate. I find it incredibly distressing to exist in a world where there is so much pain, in order to get away from that I find the spot inside of me where the love is the brightest and I hover there. I tried to find websites like this where one could get away from pain and just celebrate love, kindness and compassion, and I was unsuccessful; I thought that the world needed a Love boost.

When did was this website created?
The first version of Love was released to the public on Friday, July 21th, 2006.

The second version was released on Sept 15th, 2006.

Are you a professional therapist?
No. Although I have studied some aspects of Psychology, I am not a trained professional. I can only offer support through my own experience with mental illness and sexual assault. If you need support please contact your local crisis centre, look for a listing in your local yellow pages. Although I'm not a therapist I do wish to offer hope to those who are willing to take it, including yourself.

Can I contact you for Support?
Sure you can! I have no problem receiving letters or e-mails. I ask that you understand that I am not a therapist or a professional in any way, I'm just trying to spread Love. Please also realize that above this website I have college, work and a family to love too, so please be patient when waiting for a reply. It could take me upwards of two weeks to reply, but feel free to write. You can contact me via the contact page.

What is your affiliation with Haullie Free and Voices of Strength?
There are a few actually. Haullie Free (The founder of Voices of Strength) is one of my oldest and dearest friends. She has taught me so much about healing that I would say I owe my wellness to her. Haullie and I are also both very devout Tori Amos fans, it is through Tori's music that we became friends. We also both worked on the A Sorta Fundraiser for RAINN a few years back. Although we originally met online we had the chance to meet when I stayed at her house in 2003; I still look on that vacation as the best week of my life. Haullie recently asked me to submit my story to her new audio documentary, Voices of Strength, she also asked me to compose the music for the CD; working on the project brought out a lot of emotion and grief that I thought had disappeared, in the end it was very liberating and healing for me. Haullie is also a staff member here at 'Love'.  Voicesofstrength.org is also the host site to Love, so you can see we are affiliated in several ways.

Is this a fansite for a specific person?
Not at all. The first layout was dedicated to the love and friendship of John Lennon and Paul McCartney of The Beatles. Otherwise the website is dedicated to nothing other than peace, love, understanding, kindness and compassion for all mankind.

Who designs Layouts for you?
Natasha does the layouts for the Website and Haullie does the layouts at the 'Love' Forum. We are not taking requests at this time to do images or websites for our readers.

Will you affiliate my website with yours?
It really depends, if your website has something to do with peace, love, friendship, kindness, compassion, or healing then submit your link to me via the contact page. I will link all affiliates to the main page. If it does not pertain to love, then I'll probably decline an affiliate position; I will link to your website in a links section though, so submit your site either way and I'll have a look at it.

How can I link your website to mine?
