What is a Leaning Moment?
A Leaning Moment is that moment of harmony between two people, when both are leaning to each other in spirit. It happens when a mother comforts a child, when two friends meet and embrace, or it can be as simple as strangers holding doors for each other. When we have a lot of Leaning Moments with someone, it is easy for us to say that we "love" that person. The more Leaning Moments we have within our families and relationships the happier and stronger we will become. It is important that we take advantage of every opportunity to create Leaning Moments with others.
