Thank you for reminding me that magic is always there (even if it can’t always be seen). You are doing some great & potent stuff for our society (and beautiful music too). Loving this life even more now........thanks to you. Lisa
I don’t think you ever imagined how impactful your “band name” and manifesto would be on so many of our lives. It sure has been on mine! Thanks for sharing with me. Nicole…
Thanks David! You keep it real and open my eyes...all in a good way.
I was standing in a store yesterday behind a gal reading the back of her t-shirt. I had to ask her about it, as I could not take my eyes off of it. The words reach deep and true.... thank you...
Thank you for your much needed inspirational words that literally depicts what life is all about!
Dear Love This Life. My birth mother sent me a few incredible early birthday presents this year. She is so thoughtful. It's been 20 years almost, as of this month, on the 15th that she had me and she still writes to me and sends me things for my birthday. I can't wait to meet this woman, soon enough, and thank her for giving me a good life with my adoptive parents. And of course for your heart Love This Life bracelet. I’ve been sending your manifesto to everyone I know. :)
My friend sent me a Love This Life t-shirt for Christmas (wrapped...I opened it early) and it made me cry to receive something so beautiful. Thank you.
Thanks, David, for creating and sharing this whole positive philosophy with the world. Who knows How many people you have reached with your words!?! Well, I'm one of them and think that You Rock!!!
I've been letting fear keep me from showing up at my own Gig. How dumb is that? Time to burn bright and hot! Thanks for the light bulb.
Hey Bro I’m chris and my mom saw a postcard with the manifesto on it and it reminded her of me and she gave it to me. I fell in love instantly. Its hanging in my dorm room here at school. It describes perfectly how I want to live my life.
Dear David. Mom gave me your Kohl’s bracelet for Christmas to help encourage me to take my next step away from an abusive relationship. Its been a long road and I believe this is God’s reminder that he will be with me always and I need to love my life as well as live my life the way that makes me love my life! Honesty, compassion, empathy, love. God bless and happy new year. Kaia A.
I picked up a shirt yesterday and fell in love with it. It is so my life motto! I lost my little brother at the age of 21 in an accident this summer and this experience has changed my outlook on life completely. Thanks for having such a great motto, line and sense of inspiration!
I want to thank you for writing such a beautiful poem. I am sure it has helped so many people lead stronger lives. I know that it spoke to my soul. Many blessings, Susan
I saw this message on a shirt this morning and literally cried…it’s perfect…exactly what I needed to hear at the right moment. I read these words and life made a little more a little more sense. So to whomever sat and created this…thank you thank you thank you squared and times a million and one!
Just joining the list b/c this site makes me smile and I don't think I smile enough.
I bought a couple of these bracelets as gifts to a couple girlfriends that are dealing with cancer. I wanted to give them something to let them know that they are in my thoughts and to brighten their day.
I'm not writing for anything in particular, but just to tell you that I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Manifesto. My yoga studio in Burlington, Ontario has been selling lovethislife for a while now and we just love it. Thanks for making a difference to people's 'physche's' and changing the energy on the planet. You Rock!!!!...Lisa
Hello! I absolutely love this website. It's positive energy is really what this world has been lacking for a very long time. This is possibly the first step towards a more peaceful and happy society.
As fate would have it "Love This Life" came to me at the precise moment I was open to it most. Like a stone on a path placed before me to provide foundation to stand and inspiration to take that next step. There is in fact no coincidence in life and handed to me by another human being who was waiting for me to arrive, was your message. My soul thanks you.
My gig? My gig is life. Justin
Very inspirational site after a week of feeling stressed, overtired, overwhelmed, under FUNded, etc, etc, you made me smile inside. Thank you! Sam
A friend gave me a manifesto card a couple of years ago when she was going through a very tough time, as was I. I put it off until today when I decided to go to your website and actually listened. Gratitude and Love is pouring through my open, beautiful heart…to yours. So good to find you, at last. Big Love. Grace
Hey, everyone! I am absolutely in LOVE with Love this Life. I am a professor of management at a business school within a university in Texas and I read the manifesto to the students on the last class day of each semester. You rock!!!
Hi, my name is Kacie and I have a three year old son with Moebius Syndrome. Moebius syndrome affects the cranial nerves and they are unable to smile frown or make any facial expresions. I wrote you because we wear alot of Love this Life apparel because I like to teach Kevin my son that this life is great and I love your motto. Thank you!... Kacie
Today I graduated from Physical Therapy 4.5 months after back surgery. As my “diploma” I was given the “Love This Life Manifesto” by David Culiner. It brought tears to my eyes as there couldn’t have been a better way to articulate my (still on-going) journey (and not just the one for my back recovery). I wish that you all are “welcome(ing) the blind turn…shape shifting from a dreamer to a doer…(celebrating) you and your path…”
I was hoping I could obtain 60 manifesto cards to distribute to my staff and colleagues. I am a Principal at a rural 'off the grid' school in remote Alaska. We could always use some encouragement to stay positive and go after our dreams (although some might say we are already doing that by committing to living off the grid to educate children). I absolutely love the words in the manifesto and feel that they solidify the life we are living and the work we are doing out here in the tundra of bush Alaska.
Thank you! Tina
Hi I am a nurse in a large psych unit and I saw this awesome scrub jacket with the "Love This Life®️ " on it and considering the unit I work on , I thought that the saying could be inspiring to my patients and then I read the card that was attached to the jacket and I was so impressed with it so I went to the website and posted it on facebook. I cant wait to share your info and wear my new scrub jacket! Thank you for your inspiration to all . I will be sharing this with everybody I meet.
I have loved your brand and manifesto since it caught my eye at Lowe’s Resort in Coronado, must be 10 years ago now.
I’m an empath and things will call to me and the long sleeve shirt hanging on the rack in the gift shop literally pulled me in. Then I read your manifesto on the back and that was that. SOLD!
I treasure every written word of it.
I was wearing another one of your shirts on a hike in Death Valley and weeks later I set out on a year-long journey to hike my way to optimum health, physical, spiritual and mental. I hiked my way to my 60th birthday — because it’s never too late to do something new! I wasn’t a hiker. The original sixty hikes turned into 180 hikes in one year.
I’ve written and published a book recently about it, and I mention your brand in the prologue — it’s called The Unintended Positive Consequences of Hiking.
After I returned from Peru and my 180th hike I decided to take up playing the cajón. I got myself a teacher and after four lessons I started playing out for pay!
...celebrating the moment and that we are not guaranteed or owed another day...
I’ve had some significant losses recently and your manifesto on top of those losses spurred on my living larger and differently than in my previous years.
Namaste. Lori
Hey love this life...here are the tattoos my sister and I got ourselves after buying those bracelets for each other. U rock.
This is a picture of me holding my Dad’s hand when he was sick – looking at it reminds me every day, like every word that is written on your shirt, to love this life...it’s the only one we have and it effects and affects so many. Most of all…he rocked – me as a baby, my world as a teenager, and I rocked him…to sleep before he died.
After reading through your "press" feedback section of this website, I have to say, my friend, that your pain in life was NOT wasted....just look at all the testimonies that have come from people. You put to words what others couldn't...and it has touched everyone's life who reads it.
On December 18th, my sister, Kathie died in her sleep unexpectedly. That very day, I received a Christmas package from her that she had mailed on December 16th. It was one of your "Sisters" bracelets. It came on a card with the following printed on it, " love this life…Is about welcoming the blind turn and the possibility that there’s no such thing as coincidence and that empathy is incredibly sexy and that it’s never too late to pick up a guitar or a paintbrush or to make an amend or to make a new friend. Love This Life®️…”cuz it could go at any second, you rock." There was also a charm on it that states "Always sisters, always there."
Hello, My mom made me a quilt made out of your t-shirts (actually t-shirts that I wore) and I would like to share with you some pictures of it. I think it would inspire others to maybe recycle their love this life shirts and make them into a quilt of their own. Please email me back if you would like me to send you some pictures of my quilt. Thanks,Lisa.
I feel like I was meant to find David Culiner and Love This Life... I'm in the depths of a deep depression and trying to climb out of this is one of the hardest things I've done in my life. I'm going to read your manifesto every day. Thank you for sharing this with the world. You are an incredibly brave and talented human being.
David - you have no idea how your simple t-shirt has helped me. I knew I couldn't wear black to my daughter's memorial service and I knew I HAD to wear some form of blue as it's her favorite color and the color of her beautiful eyes. I went into a local store here in CT. I was drawn first to the color and then the Manifesto. Without any hesitation or thought to wearing a blue t-shirt with gold lettering - I bought it and knew it was EXACTLY what I had to wear to celebrate Kirsten's life. I've transformed her bedroom into a studio for me and keep the t-shirt hanging in full view at all times. Again - thank you for giving me such a wonderful gift. Dottie
I just have to remember your manifesto!! I have enough shirts with it on it!! LOL!! I did something about it and got another job. I would like to live somewhere else though and do something really fun for a living. Something that I felt that I made a difference with!! In time!!!
I will continue to spread your word by hash tagging my adventures on FB, Twitter and Instagram, to honor my friend, Kim, who I lost 2 months ago.
Thank you. This is quite possibly the best thing I have ever read. You've made my day. Jodi
I found Love This Life®️ shirt in a store in California..I share the story at the end of my meditation class in yoga..It is so wonderful the number of people who embrace the wording as I do. Found your website and enjoy your music..can't wait to share this as well! Thank you. Cheryl
There is something I have to share with you. Yesterday, with much sadness, my best friend called me to say that her mother Peggy is now with our Heavenly Father. Peggy loved ‘Love This Life®️’...she even got a tattoo on her back of the butterfly and the love this life writing. Peggy was a cancer warrior. Through her, we were all able to see that cancer is never the winner...and that the best treatment for cancer is to continue to fight...to live...to have faith...to dance...and to Love This Life. Peggy would always say LOVE THIS LIFE. Peggy loved her life...and is loving her eternal life right now.
Once upon a time a blissful wife wandered into a shop in Maui. She happened upon a nice quality, silky soft men's t-shirt in the gift shop. She purchased what seemed to be a plain old comfy t-shirt for her husband. The next morning he puts it on after coming out of a calm surf. She looked in amazement at this man, this father, this husband. He was all she ever wanted. Sitting on the beach in Maui with her two wonderful sons and husband, she wondered how a t-shirt could sum up everything she was feeling at that moment. We have since added a precious daughter to our family adding a sense of completeness. I have been truly blessed in my life. I pray that you can say the same.
I believe the purpose of this life is to reflect upon the harder, most difficult experiences so we can learn, love & appreciate each other more. Thank you for this brand & the message it carries- With love & respect, Stephanie.
Thank you for sharing your creativity, inspiration and manifesto for loving this life with the world. Know lives are being changed, touched and strengthened by the presence of your merchandise in the Los Angeles area. YOU ROCK! - Renee M.
Found this manifesto a few months after my husband passed away and it speaks loud and clear to me about life. Thank you!
Widow overcoming 55 years of co dependency seeking joy and happiness, ridding guilt and shame.
Just wanted you to know that I have a presentation next week for my business plan....one of my power point slides asks how I am to achieve my goals set in the business plan....one of my bullet points states...remember to #love this life. My next power point slide has the entire manifesto typed out with the credit going to David Couliner and I am handing out the cards to my sales associates. Thank you for having these available. I embrace the manifesto and love spreading the JOY of living!!! Thank you! Diane Spruill
Thank you- your manifesto, is a message I hold in my heart, voice and life. I lost my husband and my daughter lost her father, after three short years- one day your walking without missing a beat and then you may find love anywhere and at anytime treat can change. Appreciation for the life, the day we ve been given, love it, every moment is a gift- thank you for your kindness and inspiration- 💜B and T
love the manifesto. been in recovery coming on 13 yrs and my womens group loved this shirt I gave to my friend.
I first discovered love this global one Christmas. My mom bought me a bracelet as I had shared with her my anxiety and depression. The bracelet said, “love you to the moon and back.” To this day, I wear or take the bracelet with me everywhere. I also have the love this life manifesto with me as well. The manifesto reminds each day that life is short, and I can’t allow my anxiety, depress and OCD to control me. I am not my illness or symptoms. I am Amber Boone a lover of this life. I recently returned to work nearly four weeks ago after a three-month short-term leave. This was when I discovered I need to live in the present moment each day and live every day as if it were my last. I have been sharing positive inspirations emails with my office as I am also the Well-being leader. Our focus this year and the years in the past has and continues to be work/life balance and mental well being. So, when I asked about the cost of the manifesto and received the response from LTL I couldn’t believe it. I have never, in my life, had anyone be so generous to me. I am usually the giver and that’s ok. I am a firm believer that eventually everything comes full circle. This has encouraged me to finally purchase a shirt to wear as well. I have wanted one for quite some time and never actually took the time to purchase one. I love that the manifesto is on the back. Allowing me the opportunity to share it with everyone just as David does.
I had brain surgery in September 2018 at the Pacific Neuroscience Institute in Santa Monica CA to remove a benign tumor that obstructed my cerebral spinal fluid. I recently found a Love This Life®️ T-shirt at a thrift shop and was attracted to it from the beautiful screen print on the front of a beautiful flower. When I got home, I discovered a wonderful verse on the back of the shirt that I did not realize was there and it was just the perfect expression of how I feel about living now. Talk about no coincidence...David, you rock!
I don't know why everyone on the planet doesn't have some lovethislife something... Thank you!
I was introduced to Love this Life by a friend of mine about 10 years ago. Loved the manifesto and the t-shirt she got me from California.
About this time and through life experiences, I made a decision to live my best life, unapologetically! Joy is my measure of success. Love, my currency 🥰 You can take everything away from me but I still have me!! Love and light! 💗💫
When my daughter was working as a tattoo artist I had to get a tattoo by her. So glad I did, because this career choice, as talented as she is, was short lived.
Because of the manifesto and what it meant to me, “to love this life” now, in the moment, and because I loved Robin’s sun design ~ the choice was obvious. ☀️
It’s as if you read my mind
