I started this website because I believe each and every one of us is bound to someone who has changed or will change our lives. This may be someone from your past—a long lost friend, an instrumental teacher—or it may be someone you have yet to meet. It may be a relative, or a stranger, or even an animal. And it is in recognizing this special relationship—in appreciating the invisible thread that binds you forever—that we find true meaning in our lives. And I believe each of us has or will have just such a life-changing experience, because of that special friend who is destined to forever be a part of our heart and soul.

I hope you enjoy reading other people’s Invisible Thread stories, but what I wish most of all is that you share yours with us. Who is the unlikely person bound to you across time and oceans? Who is the friend who transcends class and culture and convention? Who is the one who changed your life without you even knowing it?

Please tell us — who is on the other end of your Invisible Thread?
