Let today be a reminder there is much to be done and &#8216;aint no stopping us now&#8217; as we bust out the Love, open our hearts and turn up the Loving action volume to an eleven.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Martin Luther King&#8217;s words from his historic &#8220;I Have A Dream&#8221; speech reveal more than a dream, his opening remarks offer up a deep truth and a reminder that the moment is now, not tomorrow, not next week, it is always and only now, as we move through\u00a0this era of global transformation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">&#8220;We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality\u00a0for all of God&#8217;s children.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">The issue of equal rights is part of a larger statement about human rights. About the practice of humanity. Martin Luther King Jr&#8217;s dream exploded and became reality. As Michael Beckwith says MLK didn&#8217;t go to Washington D.C. and say &#8216;I have a complaint.&#8217; He went to Washington DC and said &#8220;I have a dream.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">See today where you are forgetting your dream and pick it back up and share it with a brother. Join together. \u00a0As ACIM says an idea grows stronger when shared and there is nothing stronger than an agreement between two people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">It is time to join together. It is time to practice the principles of Non Violence in the pursuit of a global practice of humanity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">On the planet today there are one billion people who live in poverty. Who struggle to feed themselves and their families.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">When a brother is in trouble, we are all in trouble.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">We allow these unfathomable atrocities to continue because we, on some level, think there is nothing we can do. \u00a0I challenge you, with so much love, to consider the possibility you absolutely can do something.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">You, right where you are, can make a difference in the field of universal possibility. \u00a0Even if you take a step into where shifting your ideas as\u00a0judgements, remembering you have the freedom to practice\u00a0&#8216;let me perceive no differences. Let that be the end of the story.&#8217; \u00a0Don&#8217;t forget that our own actions or inactions in our lives have all the power to make a world of difference to co-create miracles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Hiding in the bosom of the cult of culture is not going to do it. No more living in the delusion of separation and being different. No more blinders. It is time for the truth. Recognizing our commonalities. Recognizing our note in the song of the universe enabling the harmony of our practice of humanity, that connection we yearn for to truly resonate. Until all of us on this planet are peaceful, none of us can experience true happiness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Starting here. Starting now. Make a choice to practice humanity. Make your &#8220;fierce urgency of now&#8221; flourish\u00a0in brilliance and connection and Love.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">With Infinite Love and Gratitude<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wholelottaloveland.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/11\/dr-king-fierce-urgency-of-now.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1575\" src=\"https:\/\/wholelottaloveland.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/11\/dr-king-fierce-urgency-of-now.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"a practice of humanity\" width=\"425\" height=\"319\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Today is DAY 64 of MEL\u2019S LOVE LAND #NEXT100 NOW IS THE TIME<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Take Mel\u2019s Love Land Pledge!!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">(Repeat after Me)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>For the #Next100 Days I am going to consider the possibility there is another way\u2026.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>(add whatever \u2018feels right\u2019 allow it to be your reality even if it is just for one moment, revel in the idea that there is another way to look at it and allow yourself the privilege of true sight beyond your perceptions because whatever follows \u2018I will consider the possibility there is another way\u2019 will be the direction that you set \u2013 make it count)<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">For more information check out\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.melanielutz.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.melanielutz.com<\/a>\u00a0all systems love AND if you want to get the Kindle edition of Mel&#8217;s Love Land it is available for pre-order now, releases 12\/13\/14&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a title=\"Melanie Lutz's Mel's Love Land\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.com\/B00PX8QUVC\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1576\" src=\"https:\/\/wholelottaloveland.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/11\/amazon-kindle-mels-love-land-top-holiday-gift.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"Melanie Lutz Amazon Kindle Mel's Love Land Top Holiday Gift\" width=\"425\" height=\"239\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.com\/B00PX8QUVC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow nofollow\">http:\/\/amzn.com\/B00PX8QUVC<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The deepest form of Community is to join with a Brother in a purpose higher than your own.
