February 2010 was my awakening to the exquisitely talented, kind, handsome, intelligent, compassionate, professional, and philanthropic British gentleman actor Richard Armitage with his mesmirizing performance as John Thornton in the BBC’s 2004 production of Elizabeth Gaskell’s love story “North & South” (left via RANet).
Six years on, my admiration for Richard Armitage (right, via Laura) continues to grow as 
I look forward to experiencing his many upcoming storytelling projects. And I tender my grateful thanks to him for inspiring my own creativity in storytelling and such. Finally, the friends I have met and made across the globe these six years among his admirers are a joy and a blessing.
Thank you, Richard, for these gifts of storytelling, inspiration, and community that you share with us. And in return for you, Richard? As always, I wish for you every happiness that you wish for yourself. Hugs & Love! Grati ;->

Congrats on 6 yrs. Richard as an inspiration? Why does this not surprise me or I assume many many people. To me it is, as you say, this is one beautiful man, but not just in the physical sense, there are so many ways. His acting for me that squeezes your heart and leaves you wanting more and more, his smile that spreads to his eyes that’s shows it is a smile from the heart and genuine, his smooth voice and that wonderful laugh. His intelligence, his compassionate and giving nature. So many fine qualities that make this man a beautiful person. Thank you for the beautiful videos, I think I have both saved already on my listings but always lovely to watch, esp for Valentines Day.
Hope yours is a lovely one. Your article on such a wonderful man made mine much better for it.
Thank you as always for such a lovely article. A day with RA always brings a bit of sunshine into a snowy day :)
