Be the sunshine
There is obviously something that we need to do differently in this troubled, yet beloved world of ours.
Is there something we can do right now to make a difference in the world?
There are many families who don't get along with each other and there is much animosity.
WHY?
Is there a way for all of us to see the good in each other and stop the mental violence that goes on. Criticizing and condemning others in our thinking is an act of violence even if we don't shoot someone.
It starts in our thinking.. How can we today think differently about others, close and far away?
No matter what, we need to show forth more love, more kindness, more joy, more compassion.
When are we going to realize that when we are smiling sincerely at others, we are bringing heaven to earth. I know that it always lifts me up and breaks the spell of negativity.
I am sorry that there is so much mental murder and murder with guns running rampant in the world. What we witnessed this week on the news at Virginia Tech is another sign that we need to wake up as a society. How many more wake up calls do we need? Wasn't 9/11 enough for us??? How much worse do things need to get..with the war in Iraq...Israel etc..
How loving can we be every day?
Violence doesn't solve anything. It only adds more hate. We don't need it to multiply. We need more heart smiles. Please help us NOW.

Well, Mindy I could not agree more with the concept of right thinking.
I know that most people think we can't control our thoughts and I would say you are right and you are wrong in that analysis. For it is true that thoughts or the interior voice is always running
but we can develop the power of our observance, and that is the key to wisdom. When a negative or
selfish thought enters and we are good at watching them then we own the power of choice of action. It is the thoughts that we act upon which determine the patterns of our attitudes and behavior and spiritual growth. And once we get into the positive energy of powerful loving, selfless happy thoughts and acting on them instead of the dark alternative, we then enter the wonderful habit of joy. The kingdom of heaven will rush into our being. And then we are literally co-creators with the source of all. People will say, Its so great to see him or her when you enter a room, because you will fill the room with aliveness. To be alive is to radiate positive energy from the observer which is the real you taking responsibility for right thinking which leads to right actions which leads to true happiness and you will ride the love vortex spiraling ever upward and the adventure of awakening begins.

I am a strong supporter of SMILING! I have a great set of teeth, and even if I didn't I think I would still SMILE to everyone I meet. When I walk into a store I seem to be like a magnet, attracting all sorts of folks that might not have approached anyone else if their life depended on it. Why? Because they do not see me as a threat! I am always making eye contact and smiling at people. Now, not all respond back to me with one, but that is oak. It never has stopped me from smiling at everyone and wishing them a ,"Blessed day." We don't seem to be afraid to smile and make over a small baby or little child when we see them. They smile at us and our hearts' melt. All of our troubles seem to melt away. I suggest that we all work these facial muscles more, it is food for the Soul! God Bless, Linda,(Smiles)
