Started in 2004, this exciting and inspirational TLF program is designed to acknowledge the many people around the world who quietly and joyfully embody unconditional love to the very best of their ability.  These are the ones we meet who present a positive and caring approach in their thoughts, words, deeds and actions no matter what the circumstance or situation.  You know them by the love and acceptance you feel while in their presence.  They use love, wisdom and power in all they do and inspire us to be more.  Anyone may nominate themselves or another and each submission is formally reviewed for this honorary designation.

Our core vision is expressed in these tenets:
We are one humanity on this planet.
All life is interconnected and interdependent.
All share in the Universal bond of love.
Love begins with self acceptance and forgiveness.
With respect and compassion we embrace diversity.
Together we make a difference through love.
