Enlighten: Uplift & Inspire


Nov 2, 2020

Love is in the air, do you feel it?!? I do and if you pay attention, you will see it, hear it, and feel it, too! Love is in the air; love is all around us! There's an outpouring of love: in lawn signs, in mindsets, in the kindness from strangers, in celebrations of anniversaries, birthdays, in protestors, in a record turn out of determined voters, in joyful dancers, in community volunteers and in song. Who have you showered with love lately?
 
Watch the amazing video Black Eyed Peas released with Jennifer Hudson of their song “Where is the Love?” I’ve always loved that song, but it now means so much more to me, these days as we all find creative ways to find the love, show up to the challenges with more love. Where is the love? The love is inside each one of us, focus on love, let’s keep generating the healing power of love! What we focus on increases, so let's grow this love!

As Stevie Wonder sings in “Love's in Need of Love”
    What I’m about to say could mean the world’s disaster.
    Could change your joy and laughter to tears and pain.
    It’s that love’s in need of love today.
    Don’t delay send yours in right away.
    Hate's going around breaking many hearts,
    Stop it please before its gone too far.

    The force of evil plans to make you its possession
    and it will if we let it destroy everybody
    We all must take precautionary measures,
    If love and peace you treasure, then you’ll hear me when I say,
    That love’s in need of love today.
    Don’t delay send yours in right away.


May we abide in love as we enter this next chapter of our democracy.
