Please!

In the face of turmoil and unrest let's win with more love. 

Think about your words and actions. 

Jesus in the sense of church wasn't a part of my life because my parents were turned away from organized religion during a period of financial stress. They were told that they couldn't attend mass without contributing to the weekly offering basket. The powers that be thought of the church over the people living paycheck to paycheck and turned away a family and subsequently turned later generations into non believers of organized religion. 

But here's the thing Jesus in the real sense of believing.... never left me. 

Without being confined to the teaching and beliefs of an institution I believe in love and healing through that love. I believe in helping those in need and working through fear .... through that love. 

I struggle sometimes. I lash out and say stupid things, but I always try to get back to love. I get angry and scared about terrorism or bullies or things I don't understand. Getting angry and using hate doesn't make those feelings go away. 

Love does. 

I'm not sure what will happen in the world but I know I'm going to try hard to remember love. I want us to think about what we say and what we do because we can make a change. 

Please share, print, use this picture and allow it to remind us to use our powers for good. 

Peace to our planet.

A time to love.

I don't often like to express my opinions on things that may offend others on my blog. I like to try and keep it light and happy but I saw something today that just made me cry and feel sorry for all of us. A man was killed at Walmart on Black Friday. The HUGE man...I believe they say he was 6-4 and about 275 pounds suffocated as 1,500 people piled into the store to get their "great deals". Yeah they crushed him and he died. Opps sorry didn't notice the man lying on the floor because I had to get my big screen tv. It hurts my heart. It hurts not just because of what happened but what we have become.

As Christmas gets closer I hope everyone remembers what it is really all about. It is not about giving someone something that they may love to get but in 5 years or less will forget about. I don't know about you but I don't remember what I got 3 years ago for Christmas but I do remember being with the people I love and the look on my little girls face when she saw the lights on the trees and snow on the ground for the first time. That I will never forget.

Let's just try to treat each other a little kinder and think about others instead of just ourselves all the time. Please.
