Sit down. &#8212; I have always kept that in my heart, whatever you are singing make it real.&#8221; Oleta Adams<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Whatever you do &#8211; do it with all your heart.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Like Maya Angelou says &#8220;A bird doesn&#8217;t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">What does it mean to go your own way and to find your own sound and to sing your song completely. What does it take to experience your inner hum of gently loving expression?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Love always remains the answer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">This wonderful world we live in where everything unfolds and is understood for the sacredness of its essence swirling before us is the work of faith in compassionate positioning where we trust the perfection of the divine plan for our lives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">What a Wonderful World was written by Bob Thiele and George David Weiss and performed originally by Louis Armstrong, shares the joy of natures constant motion perfect stillness and the beauty of a way of being.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>I see skies of blue,<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>And clouds of white.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>The bright blessed day,<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>The dark sacred night.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>And I think to myself,<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>What a wonderful world.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Flood your vision with love creating a vision of the world that explodes with radiance, like the light in the trees, glowing with compassion as you walk through the world singing your song. This is what compassionate positioning means. You make a choice to create a stance in the world where you are able to be in a space of compassion and Love and look into the eyes of those who are suffering and feel their suffering without losing your center. When you know your own center, you are in stillness with the truest space of your being allowing you to understand in every situation the space you are holding, and from that space you remember your job is to extend Love. You are not taking on another\u2019s karma, you are merely dealing with your own, and in your knowing of this one detail, you allow other people to grow into their knowing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>The colors of a rainbow&#8230;..so pretty in the sky<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>Are also on the faces of people passing by<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>I see friends shaking hands&#8230;..saying how do you do<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>They&#8217;re really saying&#8230;&#8230;I love you.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Step into the space of harmony allowing a higher thought pattern of love to permeate your conversations as you sing the song you were put here to sing, allow a space for our collective humanity above the &#8220;battlefield&#8221; and petty tyrannies of fear. Try for a today no matter what someone may say, to take the loving thought of, &#8220;They are really saying, I love you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">May you feel connected, comforted and full of peace<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Today. Now. Always.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">May your days be free from strife and worry and all your steps be light and bright.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">With Infinite Love and Gratitude<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Oleta Adams - Get There\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/g8SdDT9o2eo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wholelottaloveland.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/11\/photomanipulations-self-portraits-zev-fiddle-oak-3-loveland101-300x300-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1446\" src=\"https:\/\/wholelottaloveland.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/11\/photomanipulations-self-portraits-zev-fiddle-oak-3-loveland101-300x300-1.jpg\" alt=\"photomanipulations-self-portraits-zev-fiddle-oak-3-LoveLand101-300x300-1\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Take Mel\u2019s Love Land Pledge &#8211;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">For the #Next100 Days I am going to consider the possibility there is another way\u2026.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">I won&#8217;t squash my voice, I will sing my song.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">I won\u2019t worry about anything I will do what needs to be done.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">I will let love liberate my heart.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">I will let love completely feast on my life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">I won\u2019t spin out, I will choose to take a beat and breathe, just breathe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">I won\u2019t judge success or failure. \u00a0I will celebrate my effort and action.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">I will listen and stay open to the loving action that needs to be taken<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">I will encourage others to fly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">I won\u2019t stay asleep, I will awaken to the truth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">I will take flight into the possibility of the present moment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">I will see the truth shining through each heart I meet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">I will follow my still small voice in owning what I know<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">I will let love lead the way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">I will savor the fruits of my labor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">I won\u2019t stay stuck in my story, I will quite simple love the adventure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">I won\u2019t shy away from what needs to be done. \u00a0I will impact every situation with love.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">I won\u2019t listen to sounds of discontent. \u00a0I will harmonize in my happiest self.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">I won\u2019t test anyone or anything trying to prove a point. \u00a0I will have acceptance and forgiveness for who I am, right now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">I won\u2019t hide in the shadows.
