Time to quit shaming people for not waking up on your schedule. It is hard not to lose your way with all the heated rhetoric. Yes, you must stand up for what you feel is morally good and loving. But what happens to that good and loving stance when you meet someone who was slow to come around? I watched different panels on TV berate a young man who had had the courage to admit he had made a mistake…..
FEAR seems to be running rampant these days. Whether it is fear of terrorists, “other” religions, immigrants, people whose skin color are different than ours, people who are wealthy, people who are poor, those who don’t speak our language, those from different countries, or those who belong to an opposing political party fear is everywhere. Fear always offers us an endless array of individuals and groups to lay blame at their feet for our fear or pain. But if…..
When we make decisions out of fear, no one wins! When was the last time you let fear dictate your actions? How did it turn out? Did it make your life better? Did it open you up to experiencing or creating more love in your life? Did it make you actually safer? Did it get you what you wanted? Fear is never the energy you want deciding your fate. It will only constrict your ability to see…..
No one can argue that a big fat spotlight has been put on many of our institutions and the people within them. Rather than getting lost in the idea that we have lost our minds what would happen if we saw these times as an opportunity to look honestly at ourselves individually? We all know the dark can’t survive in the light. So perhaps it is time we as individuals look for the pockets of dark that still reside…..
Take a moment today to send some love to the peoples of Syria. It doesn’t matter what your politics are or what religion you practice. Our humanity is being tested. The brutality that is happening is happening to us all. I have faith that at some point we as a people will see war and violence as unacceptable and choose peace over war but until that time, please hold these lovely people in your heart. Take a moment today and…..
I know the world looks crazy to many as if it is moving backwards towards fear and hate and separation. But I believe there is more love on the planet than ever before. In times past, and not that far into the past, few would have been openly outraged at racist or bigoted talk or behavior. In times past, and not that far into the past, few would have championed women’s equality and rights to be in charge…..
To move into SELF-LOVE, you must let go of all old anger and hatreds. To continue carrying around anger and hatred is the ultimate act of self-sabotage. Just like an electrical storm, nothing will shorten out the hearts’ ability to love and receive love quicker than holding onto these destructive energies. Instead of being satisfied with a momentary sense of power that anger can produce, take your full power back from these toxic energies by healing those old wounds. Be…..
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…..
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…..
