Been thinking a lot about personal responsibility, as the news trumpets on, and life marches forward and as change is constant and the ways we could complain endless.<\/h3>\n
\n
We have the opportunity right now to assume any position we want to assume, why not choose Love? \u00a0 Take a stance of compassionate grace in your life and quite simply, look at the world through a loving filter. \u00a0Today is the day to remember life begins again in each breath. \u00a0With this next breath it is time to make a shift in consciousness, to choose in this moment to be more loving than the last, to awaken to the joy of invigorated being.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
STAND UP<\/strong><\/div>\n
That man or woman in the mirror who needs to remember the truth of who you are and why you are here on the planet.\u00a0 There are a lot of conversations we could be having about how tricky this situation is, or how caught up I am in my feelings, but the only conversation we need to have is am I being loving.\u00a0 am I being compassionate. am I being kind.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This is the stance of remembering we are powerful beyond measure and this is what we take forward as our birthright.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
SPEAK OUT<\/strong><\/div>\n
We can\u2019t keep up with everything that is taking place in the world and we do no not have time to worry about what we can do nothing about. \u00a0Our voice is important. \u00a0Exercising that voice with love is our responsibility.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The focus falls to the individual.\u00a0 It falls to the places and spaces of our playing field.\u00a0 The areas of our hearts were we are in community with the world.\u00a0 Life is an ongoing exercise of love in compassionate action.\u00a0 It is all things in all ways and the essence of a people\u2019s faith in each other.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
TAKE ACTION<\/strong><\/div>\n
Doing the right thing is only possible when we have been taught to practice loving thought, when we have a discipline to move through the every creating illusions of our fears. \u00a0Consider the possibility there is another way to look at it. \u00a0Choose love, no matter what, shift your perception to happiness and joy and do not deny what flows.<\/div>\n
Let\u2019s trust in love and make that the bottom line.<\/p>\n

GET INVOLVED<\/b><\/div>\n
