"Don't let the news of the world get you down...
If you think you need LOVE right now, the truth is, LOVE needs you...
LOVE needs you to be your best, your brightest, your loudest, your most colorful...
Don't give up on equality.
Don't give up on justice.
Don't give up on the power and the beauty of diversity.
Don't give up on helping to relieve the suffering of others...
Don't give up on LOVE because it's LOVE that has inspired all that is good in the world..." ~ Michael Franti
Ahh. This quote is like a breath of fresh air. I shared it here in the past, several years ago. It was timely then. It's timely now. Then again, this message is always timely.
Let's heed the call for LOVE and rise to the occasion - every occasion - bringing forth our best, brightest, loudest, more colorful, courageous, and creative loving selves.
It seems to me that HOPE needs us now too, so let's be our most hopeful selves.
While we're reaching within for the best of us, let's bring out great handfuls of BEAUTY.
And because we care deeply and are choosing consciously to bring our best to the world, WISDOM is sure to come along.
With STRENGTH and FAITH,
Charlene
