Based in Peachtree Corners, GA, a vibrant and diverse city just north of Atlanta, Live By the Rule was founded by Nicole Macklin, affectionately known as Nikki Mack. A native Atlantan, Nikki was inspired by the rich cultural tapestry of her community and felt called to spread a message of Tolerance, Love, Unity, Respect, and Kindness throughout the city and the greater metro Atlanta area. During the heated 2024 election cycle, she began distributing free "Love Thy Neighbor (No Exceptions)" yard signs, hoping their simple message would strike a chord of unity. The signs were warmly received and Nikki was inspired to spread her message to the global community.
 

Nikki's journey to this point has been shaped by years of spiritual exploration. Her study of various faiths, including Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Islam, and most recently Kabbalah, led her to embrace the Golden Rule: "Love thy neighbor as thyself."  This principle became her guiding light, teaching her that self-love is the foundation for loving others and key to a more peaceful world.
 

Today, Nikki is dedicated to helping others transform their personal challenges and past traumas into sources of inspiration. She believes that by strengthening our connection to our own spirituality, we can build stronger, more compassionate communities. Community is the key to helping all of us thrive and grow.
