Welcome to Live, Love, Learn, Family Promise of Sussex County’s new blog. Like we do so often I searched online for the meaning of Live, Love, Learn and here’s a definition that spoke to me. Live is a reminder to cherish each moment, Love is to nurture our relationships and Learn is to pursue knowledge and growth. Please share what these three words mean to you and follow our blog. My hope is that this blog will not only educate but also bring a fourth “L” a little bit of Laughter too. Let us know what you think and welcome.
