Boosting love in the world, one small act at a time
Through small acts of exploration, declaration, and visualization we seek to navigate away from the pull of fear, hate, and anxiety in the world and refocus our lens on the Orbit of Love.
Gallery of Explorers
Owen and Jane Bradley have been happily married exploring and spreading love for nearly forty years.
We’ve been making and sharing the love signs for a long time and a few years ago we started posting photos of them. People from places near and far started asking for these whimsical signs and we’ve shipped them all over the US and abroad. Sharing the signs allowed us to engage in loving interactions and conversations with others and through these seemingly small actions,
we found our love was strengthened.
We want to share this journey with others (and make just enough money to cover our expenses) by building a platform for observing, talking and participating in loving actions in the world.
Owen Bradley
Professor of Love
For Owen it started at school with a scrap of paper with the word LOVE taped to his door with the transformational intention that those coming into the principal’s office pass through love.
“In 1999 I became the principal of the same school I attended as a teenager. My student experience at the school was painful. We had just moved to a small Vermont town from New Jersey. I was grieving for my older brother, who died when I was 12. I acted out. Let’s say, I was a smart ass. Instead of love and compassion the acting out of my pain was met with humiliation of punishment. When I returned to the school as the principal, I scribbled the word “LOVE” on a piece of copy paper and hung it on my door. The intention of passing through LOVE as I entered my office everyday was healing for me. I soon noticed it was also healing for others.”
Jane Bradley
Director of Love
For Jane it started at work in 1997 when she was interviewed as an learning consultant at a local health insurance company and declared to the director of human resources “I just want to share love.”
“Amazingly, they hired me! I made it my mission to bring kindness and joy to the people I worked with every day for over twenty years. As I approached retirement I feared the loss of connection to my co-workers and the opportunities for kindness that were so readily available to me in the workplace. Little did I realize that the Orbit of Love was waiting for me. I hope to connect with each and every one of you. Sharing love in the world is my passion and joy.”
What Love Means to Me, Adrian
Love is the first thing you know when you are born, you feel it before you speak it. Love surrounds you at all times, whether you are up or down. Love makes your best day better and your worst day worse. Love transcends time and space.

Love is always

Love is comfort and kindness. Love is feeling safe and content with what you have including your close friends and family.

Love Is Fierce
Love is fierce, but never vicious
Strong, but never overbearing
Love is received
But cannot be taken
Love must given away
Only by continually gifting this most precious resource
Can we be sure that it will never be exhausted
― Gerald, Washington
