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. “Our Lives are defined and valued by Leaning Moments”. J.Sarvis

What is a Leaner?
A Leaner is an individual who has reached out to us and has really made a difference in our lives. We count on Leaners for guidance and strength. A Leaner knows where they are going and produces positive change in their own life and the lives of others. A Leaner is someone who always makes you feel good about yourself and makes you feel more valuable. A Leaner is held in high esteem for their ability to stay the course toward a goal that advances humanity.

The Power of Leaning
The Power of Leaning helps you enjoy your journey through life. It teaches us how to better our relationships with our family and friends. Life can be a wonderful experience with others opening doors for us as we move forward toward our goals. The Power of Leaning is all about knowing where you are going and always being ready to give and receive. There's a special harmony that’s created when there's an opportunity to help someone with their goals. Leaning toward your goals and Leaning toward each other is what The Power of Leaning is all about.

The Leaner Network
The Leaner Network is dedicated to publicly honoring and celebrating the Leaners in our lives. By creating a page for your Leaner and submitting your own videos and stories about them you are showing your gratitude toward that person, and giving others the opportunity to share in your appreciation. The Leaner Network also teaches us that by simply reflecting on Leaning Moments, our spirits can be easily lifted and we can feel more valuable. When people feel appreciated they feel better about themselves.

Leaner Page
The Leaner Page is the place to Honor and Celebrate the Leaners in your life by sharing Leaning Moments you've had with that person through a Leaner Video that you've created or a story that you want to tell. As new Leaner Pages are created they will be sorted into categories such as Parents, Spouses, Siblings, Children, Friends, Teachers, Coaches, Colleagues, In Memory Of and Other Leaners.

Leaner Video
Your Leaner Story can be in the form of a video or a written story.
A Leaner Video is your way of publicly thanking your Leaner. The video can be however you want it, but the idea is to tell a story about your Leaner that shows examples of how and why you appreciate them and what makes them a person you count on. After uploading your video add it to the Leaner Page you've created for your Leaner. That way, when you invite family and friends to see your Leaner Page, they can comment on your video and offer their own stories about that person, making the whole Leaner Page a big "Thank you" to your Leaner. The Leaner Network supports .mov, .mpg, .avi, .wmv and .3gp movie file formats. To get your video looking its best we suggest using the "iPod video" format. This is h.264 mp4 with AAC audio. Also, use the size 426x324. This will give you the sharpest look.

Leaner Story
When you're writing a Leaner Story for your Leaner it's important to remember that this is your way of publicly thanking that person, so you want to show them in the best light for other people to read as an example of a Leaner. The Leaner Story doesn't have to be a biography of the persons life as long as it gives a good picture of your Leaner's personality and what makes them a Leaner. Sometimes the best Leaner Story might be one example of something they did that exemplifies who they are as a person. It might help to write your story first, then create a Leaner Page and finally paste it into the "Text Box" on that page.

Profile and Leaner Page Photos
If you upload a picture for your profile or for a Leaner Page you've created and the top of the picture is cut off, you may need to crop the photo. If you don't have any photo editing software, we recommend you download the free version of Picasa for Mac or PC and use the crop tool to get a square picture.
