AWAKEN: EVERY MOMENT IS A MOMENT TO NOT BE NUTS

Don't overthink it. Don't get in your anxiety. Don't do things which loop you into your trauma. Do take loving action. Do what you are for. Do consider the world you want to see. Cultivate the conditions for what naturally wants to unfold. Enjoy it all.

Our minds are meant to be used in service of love. Anything else is insaneity. Don’t react and get caught in what is unreal. Connect to your loving center and be a light by reveling in your truth, the truth that never changes.Within Insane Circumstances Stay Connected to Love.

"What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence or lawlessness; but love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or they be black." --Robert Kennedy in the wake of the assassination of Martin Luther King

REMEMBER: RISE INTO YOUR GREATNESS

It is said, nothing real can be threatened, and nothing unreal exists. Do not assume anything, do not let Dr. Insanity take over and run amuck. F*ck Fear. Do what is kind, what is just, what is loving.

FROM YOUTUBE: Indianapolis, 1968: Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King and a historic call for peace. On April 4, 1968, Robert F. Kennedy announced the death of Martin Luther King, Jr. to a majority-black crowd in an Indianapolis park. His impromptu speech is regarded as one of the most powerful and important addresses in American history. Kennedy's speech - equal parts eulogy and call for peace - came as America was erupting into violence.

Because of his message of compassion, the crowd in Indianapolis returned home peacefully. As cities across America burned, Indianapolis remained peaceful.

DAY 91 | NEXT 100 DAYS OF LOVE | EVERYTHING I'VE LEARNED ABOUT LOVE I'VE LEARNED FROM YOU

Jan 9, 2023

Updated: Mar 1

Interaction is the way we make manifest our wholeness patterns. We can not see ourselves. We engage in the truest authentic expression of our existence through another, in the reflection of our projection. We learn through the demonstrations around us. We experience in baring witness to the world and receiving input. It is the call response of life. Everything, everything, everything is learned through curiosity and the power to grow in our knowing by interacting with the world at large.

Day 91 Mel's Love Land Next 100 Days of Love Red heart in the sky of our love heart.

AWAKEN: YOU ARE A PART OF ALL THAT IS

Love is an experience we engage in every day, with each breath we take. Through this reference, why not express your loving more elegantly. Centering with Love creates miracles and quells our human nature to react with our ingrained defensiveness, which only leads to fearful decision making, inadvertently causing separation and hurt. Love decodes the universe. One aspect of loving is to recognize all that you are. It is the practice of expressing the whole person, who we are in the shadows and in the light. Sometimes this is acknowledging our skills, strengths, weaknesses. What we think we are not good at. It is through our actions we realize our experiences and know our loving heart.

REMEMBER: PUT LOVE IN ACTION

Live your life as a testament to the total commitment to humanities re-birth from fear to love. Love works miracles. End and beginning of every story. It is in all things. Connect with the most nourishing experience of life fully lived, the loving expression of all that you are in action. Being loving. Giving and receiving and expanding your fullness with each and every moment. Present in the purpose of divine presence.

LOVE ACTIVISM 💚🌱✨ A WAY FOR SWITCH. BE ABOUT A NEW POV

The inner reality creates the outer form. Look within before you accept anything, look within for authenticity, for power, for loving. Love works miracles. Putting love in action is the end and beginning of every story. Connect within. Everything we've learned, we have learned from the unending chain of joy, sorrow, history, experiences of our ancestors, of the land, of our grace. My memories from childhood begin in the Kitchen, watching my grandmother, my mother, my aunts prepare dishes from their childhoods. We learned the traditions, the necessary work of transforming farm, garden, plant, herb, tree, land magic into delicious meals. A restaurant in Staten Island, New York takes this a step forward. Every night they have a Grandmother, a Nonna, come to the restaurant and prepare the nights meals. This is the activism of remembrance, of connection, of the collective heart. IN our remembering our connections, traditions, and sharing that we break through the cults oppressing culture and get to the heart of the matter, the nourishment of our souls. If you are in New York, or if you want to support the restaurant and its owner, click on the pic below. Lots of Love.

THOUGHT SHIFTER/MEDICINE/INNER POWER

Love takes everything as it is. Be about loving. It is difficult for the untrained mind to believe that what it seems to picture is not there. Another way of putting it, everything you are thinking if it is not with love is not true. This idea can be quite disturbing, and may meet with active resistance in any number of forms. Yet that does not preclude applying it. No more than that is required for these or any other exercises. Each small step will clear a little of the darkness away, and understanding will finally come to lighten every corner of the mind that has been cleared of the debris that darkens it. --ACIM

Give love. Connect to the collective heart. Organize for change.

Love, Mel
