Much love to Bangladesh. Don’t let those who are bloodthirsty cause you to become like them. Stay rooted in love and have faith that love is the only antidote for hate. Don’t let those who spout we must fight fire with fire convince you that the only way towards peace is with war. In truth, the only way towards peace is through understanding, cooperation, and harmony. Eventually, enough of us on this planet will understand that killing in any form…..
Much love to Istanbul, Turkey. It is never more important than now to keep our hearts open. It is when the whole world is full of rage and anger that we must stay in love for all on this planet. The only path to PEACE is through love and understanding. Love builds. Hatred & fear destroy. Choose LOVE. Let there be PEACE and let it begin with ME! Until next time be the light the world needs…..
When you begin the work of reclaiming SELF-LOVE, you naturally begin to understand how your world is created: IMAGINATION combined with EMOTION creates WORLDS. Do you use your gift of imagination to create more fear or more love? What kind of world are you creating? Do you imagine the worst-case scenario fueling it with dread and fear? Do you imagine that people are out to get you boosting it with hatred and distrust? Do you imagine never living your dreams feeding it…..
When your being is rooted in SELF-LOVE, you no longer look for others’ approval or confirmation of what is or is not possible. You trust yourself as the ultimate authority of what is possible for you. Many people spout limiting beliefs as if they are universal truths when in fact they are simply ideas whose validity have gone unchallenged. Beliefs can be like rocks tying you down or like balloons lifting you higher. …..
In my long life, I have seen many hateful acts, but it is the REBEL ACTS OF LOVE that changed my heart. The brave civil rights marchers of the 1960’s who yearned for fairness and justice. The courageous women who took to the streets in the 1970’s to demand their rights as equals to men. The outspoken gays who refused to stay in the closet in the 1980’s pressing the country to deal with AIDS ethically and with compassion. Those decades…..
Why do we listen to our heads and not our hearts? Why do so few allow their hearts to be the compass they were meant to be? Why do so many see the heart as weak or untrustworthy? Deep within your heart is a remembrance that you are cherished, valued, and loved. Your heart knows there is nothing in your makeup that is wrong or unlovable. Your heart knows your dreams and hopes and has kept them safe…..
The path back to self-love must be taken alone. Only you know where you lost your way in the darkness. Only you know where the bumps in the road changed your direction. Only you know where fear became your compass. Only you know where you decided you were not equipped for the journey. Only you know where you lost you! So be brave and return to that place on the road…..
KINDNESS is not for the faint of heart. KINDNESS is for the strong hearted. It takes strength to offer a hand rather than judgment. It takes strength to look into a stranger’s eyes and see a friend. It takes strength to see beauty where others only see ugliness. It takes strength to listen rather than turning away. It takes strength to speak softly when all others are shouting. It takes strength to offer love…..
When you feel like you are hitting a wall in your life, you need to remember the wall is inside of you. Nothing on the outside is conspiring against you. You created that wall and therefore, you are the only one who can tear it down. Maybe the wall served a purpose in the past making you feel safe or protected. But now that safe wall feels more like a prison. LOVE YOURSELF and break down your walls. You have no…..
Have you fenced in your heart? Everyone has had his or her heart broken at one time or another. Whether it was a dream or a career or a relationship, we have all experienced heartache. Too often we have allowed those moments to cause us to put fences around our hearts. It makes us feel protected and can even give us a false sense of security. The problem with that is while you think you are keeping out a potential…..
