Why We Need To Come Together — Right Now

If you want to be free…

This continues to be a time of connection as the we continue to deal with this pandemic. It also continues to be a time of division as some people struggle with loss of freedom — people against wearing a mask and taking an eventual vaccine.

To social distance or to gather again. Thoughts of this being politically driven…

…I’m not here to be political and I don’t have the answers. No one seems to in these still uncertain times.

I am certain that we need to bring more light into these still dark times.

There is so much fear based thinking as we feel no control over what is happening. The thing is, we can’t control anything except ourselves and how we respond.

How I choose to respond is with the desire of seeing more unity. All that is happening is happening out of fear. The only energy stronger than fear is love.

We need to bring more love in. Energy vibrates at different frequencies. Love is a high frequency therefore it is the highest form of energy.

In the vibration of Love, one can tap into compassion, tolerance, peace, joy, respect and forgiveness.

And don’t we all need more of each of these — these are not luxuries but necessities in us moving forward.

On a side note, forgiveness can be such a loaded concept. If it is for you, Neale Donald Walsch refers to it as understanding. I like his view, as it also takes the judgement out. People do things based on their model of their world.

So many are seeking to be proven right in their views. I understand, but at the same time, as the saying goes, “Do you want to be right or be happy?” There is so much unhappiness right now…

…Unhappiness causes stress which actually weakens our immune system. Something no one needs at this time. That puts us more at risk if we are exposed to the virus. It also creates conditions through dis-ease.

Louise Hay once shared, “In the Piscean Age we looked “out there” for our savior: “Save me. Save me. Please take care of me.” Now we are moving into the Aquarian Age, and we are learning to go within to find our savior”.

“We are the power we have been seeking”…

She continued with, “I believe that all of us who are living at this time chose to be here to be a part of these changes, to bring about change, and to transform the world from the old way of life to a more loving and peaceful existence”.

How do we tap into the power that we are seeking? Through Love.

And bringing more love in starts with loving yourself first.

As Louise stated, “It’s not selfish to love ourselves. It clears us so that we can love ourselves enough to love other people. We can really help the planet when we come from a space of great love and joy on an individual basis”.

If you want to give love to this world, you must first have love. In order to have love, you must first experience love — within yourself.

As Karen Noe shares in her book We Consciousness, “ Maintaining inner tranquility is the first and most significant step to creating peace on Earth. When you find the peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others”.

What these two amazing women have shared makes such sense to me now, though there was a time when I just didn’t understand.

As women, we tend to put everyone else first. It is an unwritten code passed through the generations. Ladies, it’s time to start putting ourselves first!

Marianne Williamson shared, “Your playing small does not serve the world”.

It’s time for us to start tapping into our inner power. Start stepping into who we are now meant to be. Leadership development starts here.

It’s time to get out of our own way. How many of us stop ourselves from lack of self worth?

You are enough —it’s time to appreciate yourself for who you are...

It’s time to understand that we all did the best we could given our circumstances and given how we viewed our world. Forgive is usually inserted here. To forgive yourself. Many have a hard time with this, which is why I like understand. And again, it takes the judgement out.

It’s time to stop judging ourselves. When you stop judging yourself, you eventually stop judging others. You understand. Doesn’t make anything anyone has done against you right, just makes you see they are hurting.

Hurt people, hurt people. There’s so much hurt which needs to be healed.

When we think of ourselves negatively, we will only attract people and situations that will reflect and confirm these negative thoughts.

Like attracts like. We need to attract the positive vibes.

How can others love and respect you, if you don’t love and respect yourself?

It starts by going within. When you realize you are worthy, life opens up the opportunities for you to receive.

This is where I would like to start — give you something to think about. I would like you to take some time to go to that deeper level, go within.

In my next article, I look to share ideas on how to experience self love.

I have to share that I wrote my article and then searched for the picture. I always do it this way. And when I saw the picture I chose, I realized that within the word evolve, is love spelled backwards…

The Universe tying up my story with a nice bow.

There are so many fabulous writers now in our publication. I’ve noticed some of our friends tagging others so that we don’t miss what they are writing.

I think this is a great idea, so I am tagging you. Many, if not all of us, share the same views of a bigger picture. And (I feel) we write for those who may not, but are ready for a NEW view.

As I put emphasis in talking to the ladies out there, we have such support from our conscious men, so I include you as well.

If you’d rather I not tag you, please let me know. I will understand :): Trista, Gurpreet, Amy, Aurora, Kathryn, Desiree, Selma, Keno, Nomanono, Dipti, Francine, Sandra, Erin, Karen, Ann, Sumera, MaryJo, Britni, Chowa, Ksenia, Nancy, Alison, Livia, Chris, Paul Myers, P.G., Terry, Rasheed, Henery, Timothy, Bill, Tim, Bob, Indra, John, Joe, JeffHerring.com

Sending you light, love — and change from within.

Be Well,
