Summary
Brooke Romney is a strong believer that we are wired for connection. Connection with those around us, connection with our families, connection with God—"Humans are hard and friendship takes work," Romney says, but she also believes the effort is worthwhile, "His intent was never for us to walk any of these paths alone."
"We're craving what God really intended us to be. He never intended us to sit behind screens. He never intended even for us to just write articles about good things. He created us to do good things, to touch people, to connect with people. That's what this is all about. And I think, because life has gotten so easy and so removed, sometimes we forget that and it's what our soul wants so badly."
