Choosing love is an every day act of grace. It is an arrangement you make with your heart and mind to live in harmony and peace. It is an ordering mechanism to process your perceptions toward what is most loving. Choosing love is an interface an operating system of elegant design. How we arrange our thoughts create our reality. When you decide to love over hate or fear, you remember in every moment you have a choice, and, you can choose again. When you choose love, you act with love, you acknowledge love and you make the world a more loving place.

Another day where we uplift mental health and foundational wellness. We've chipped away at every level of our well being. Grateful for the Biden/Harris administration for their support in linking arms with state's across this great country to connect a #988 system for folks suffering from temporary focus on unaliving themselves. If at the moment of grief folks know they can reach out for help, that there is a community for them to gain connection, support and listening into what ails them, we might have more friends, family and children in our lives for longer. Consider donating, volunteering, amplifying the message that there is help, that folks are loved, even in their worst state and it is our time to be there for each with love enough to heal perceptions and temporary circumstances. Reach out, spread the word to the 988 lifeline here.

DAY 71 | NEXT 100 DAYS OF LOVE | FEEL THE FEAR AND DO IT ANYWAY

Dec 13, 2022
3 min read

Updated: Feb 8

Promise me that today you will do that thing that you are afraid to do. Love over fear all day. Promise me you will say what is in your heart to say. The world begins to change when we take action with love. One of my sheroes, lyricist Dorothy Fields wrote “if there were more people, good people, who did; there would be much less to be done.” Each moment gives us an opportunity to do what must be done, to pierce the veil and make love the bottom line. Each time we act with love, the world shifts its evolutionary harmony to joy. Feel the fear and do it anyway. Having the experience of the thing you fear is the only way to know. In our knowing, we come into our understanding.

AWAKEN: YOU CAN DO IT.

It is a time of great change and great opportunity to be a loving light of kindness in the worlds you inhabit. Stop being a unique conformist and get out of your box and say what needs to be said, do what needs to be done. Get the nerve and exercise the muscle that lives beyond the beyond, somewhere over the sea. Have faith in what you can't see and journey deeper into your life with courage and grace and kindness. No matter what you face. you can absolutely do it.

REMEMBER: IT IS NOT OUR FEAR THAT DEFINES US, IT IS OUR LOVE

We are all fearful. Our growth and happiness lives in moving through our fear and taking loving action. Demonstrate what it looks like to just do it, with love. Experience the grace of loving action, moving through what scares you, leaning into the joy, love and grace available in our actions.

Finding new ways to tackle food justice issues and operate a thoughtful, community minded food service puts EVERY TABLE at the edge of an important movement. Delicious food made from fresh foods in areas known as food deserts.

FROM THEIR WEBSITE:

Everytable’s business model drastically reduces the costs of the standard restaurant model. Chefs at local kitchen turn fresh, wholesome ingredients into delicious meals, which is sold through small, grab-and-go storefronts. From start to finish, everything is designed to be super-efficient, and the savings are reflected in our prices.

We have locations in food deserts, underserved communities with little or no access to nutritious food, and in affluent areas. To ensure that everyone can afford our meals, we price them according to the neighborhoods we serve.

DAY 70 | NEXT 100 DAYS OF LOVE | COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

Dec 12, 2022
4 min read

Updated: Feb 8

There's a beautiful song from Bing Crosby sung in as part of White Christmas. "When I'm worried and I can't sleep. I count my blessings instead of sheep. And I fall asleep, counting my blessings. When my bankroll is getting small. I think of when I had none at all. And I fall asleep counting my blessings." It is a beautiful song, some say relates back to Johnson Oatman's 1897 Hymn BLESSINGS.

When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed, When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost, Count your many blessings, name them one by one, And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Refrain: Count your blessings, name them one by one; Count your blessings, see what God hath done; Count your blessings, name them one by one; Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.

It's a practice of gratitude, It's a way shower for peace of heart, mind and body. Simply, count your blessings. Count the blessings that surround you and experience your-self as the blessing you are. Count the blessings in your life as you love everyone more than you thought possible. By counting our blessings we lean into the loving available for accepting everything exactly as it is.

Day 70 NEXT 100 Days of Love Heart Art. Smiles are the Way, All Day Hearts.

AWAKEN: IT'S A NEW THING. TABLES ARE TURNING. LOVE IS WORKING.

The gifts you graciously give, you receive. In our gratitude we experience our wholeness.

REMEMBER: AMAZING GRACE. HOW SWEET THE SOUND

To express our gratitude is to reset the world into the present moment. Gratitude is how we make manifest what we want, to allow for all of our needs to be met. Gratitude is the world in all its forms accepted and honored and cherished. When we acknowledge the gifts of wisdom, joy, love we've been given we remember our perfect peace. It is the way we make manifest our connection to all that is.

It is through community that we heal. It is in kindness for ideas outside of a control system. It is outside of the box inclusion that allows us to grow in our abilities. From our friends at Good News Movement. A note from young Madeline asking sweetly to Animal control proper respect and honor for her dream of a unicorn in her backyard. The government organization took time to answer her direct request. It is our actions of love, of consent of request that pave the way for what we want more of in the world. It is clear we are in a time of magic and every time we see a story that reminds us, taking loving action, writing the letter, asking for help, showing up for neighbors, engaging in community actions, reveal a better more just world when we bring our loving. Grateful today for the blessing of loving reminders of how great our collective heart is.

THOUGHT SHIFTER/MEDICINE

Learning the law of love; that what I give is a gift to me is the joy of the last month of the year and the final third of our NEXT 100 Days of Love. Only love is real. When love is given, it is our connection, what we give, we receive. Maybe this is the first time you are seeing this, perhaps you have not understood what giving means, and thought to save or keep what I desire for myself alone. And as I looked upon the treasure that I thought I had, I found an empty place where nothing ever was or is or will be. Who can share a dream? And what can an illusion offer me? Yet they whom I forgive will give me gifts beyond the worth of anything on earth. Let my forgiven lovers fill my store with Heaven’s treasures, which alone are real. Thus is the law of love fulfilled. And thus love returns. How near we are to one another, how close the redemption our love and forgiveness brings. -ACIM

FROM YOUTUBE: White Christmas Count Your Blessings with Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney. (c) Paramount pictures

There isn't a moment of my life I don't remember this scene from White Christmas. It is one of my heart song movie moments. It reveals the core of my soul's code. It is in these two on screen that I learned to always, always, Count my blessings. Grateful to have been alive to experience a much older Rosemary Clooney in jazz clubs. She was pure grace and power and a voice to match the soothing, tones, of Der Bingle.
