Good Morning Awesome Peeps,
If you are wondering what you can do to be a light during a dark time for so many in our country, world as of late. So many people are suffering now and so many that will suffer due to lack of health care and food. All to no fault of their own, all due to their skin color and or if they are low income, often working two jobs and trying hard to make it financially.
Every morning I wake up, before I put one toe out from under the blankets, my desire is to be a light of love and peace to everyone I meet, to be a dispenser of calm, love and peace. I ask to be used in the resistance against actions of hate in the world.
It's not political for me, it is my heart seeking to care for humanity, no mater their skin color, income, to meet the needs in the moment.
The last two days have been so beautiful to see how loving, caring words speak to a strangers heart. Yesterday as I was out side knitting, painting etc. I saw a young man checking things out near our site. I knew he was official as he had an orange, yellow vest on. Sarge was being protective behind the fence as he approached me. I inured the man he wouldn't attack him. In fact I stepped out of the fence and asked can I hug you to show Sarge you are a friendly. :) He laughed as we introduced ourselves, I will call him Mike.
Mike was going to due some clearing around an electric pole near by. We had a friendly chat about the area, then I felt an urgent impression in my heart to share more.
I said I want you to know Mike, I am not like others who are my color, my hubs and I are heartbroken by this regime, that is destroying our morale fiber of our country, by instilling so much hate for non white people, punishing people for being poor and so much more awfulness.
Mike looked surprised then said I so appreciate your sharing this with me today so much. He said a neighborhood he was in letting people know about future work in their area, most people wouldn't open their doors and spoke to him through the door. They were rude to him as he was black! and they made that clear to him.
We spoke in depth about how our country has become more racist and rude the last 10 years.
I was encouraged to share more with him, so I invited him into my art studio, telling him, to pick out any art he liked from my painting box and card box. He looked surprised as he loved many of them, he picked out some cards for his girlfriend and paintings for his home. He kept saying let me pay you! I said no, when I am told in my heart to give my art, coaching, time or money, I do without hesitation.
As we stood there in my now kitchen area looking at the art of the walls, I looked at Mike in the eyes, saying come here, I gave him a huge hug saying words for his heart to hear, he burst into tears, sobbing as I held him.
He pulled away saying no way would I have thought Id come to work to meet you, cry and share so much with so few words. You BB Have no idea what you just did for me today. I so needed your words and hugs, we cried together in a hug, that said all the unexpressed emotions.
As we were in the kitchen Larry was still in bed, he could hear Mike crying and thought BB's up to sharing love and peace again.
He came out and spoke to Mike too. I gave Mike his art in a bag, sent him off with the most beautiful smile and eyes of hoping for a better world filled with love and peace and knowing he is more than good enough!
I have had many most Devine conversations with people of color at drs, grocery store, thrift shops, perscription lines and more, never have a I had a negative reaction from the people I have boldy crossed the we don't usually talk about in public with strangers!
In fact usually after that initial feeling of what is the trick, to total relief that we crossed that bridge to sharing our hearts, concerns and commitment to be in all we do! Loads of hugs going on too.
You may feel you cannot do much during this time in our lives, yet the most important thing we can do is BE L0VE IN EVERY SITUATION, BE THE KINDNESS WE NEED SO BADLY IN OUR WORLD RIGHT NOW!
Today the tow truck came to pick up our sick Ellie, element, to go to the car dr. Juan was speaking with Larry Crawford about the car, when I was hit again with the share with Juan. So I walked up to them, saying Hi Juan, I want to give you a hug and share something with you, I told him how we cannot stand what the regime is doing to you and all people of color. Please know we are doing all we can to stop it. He hugged me again and said You have no idea how much your words and hugs did for me. I began to tear up and he hugged me again saying please don't cry, we will be ok. I said please bring your family to camp here so we can all hang out, changing the world with love and laughter! He smiled one of those huge yes~ smiles saying yes Ma'am, my family needs to meet you and Larry!
Imagine if we all shared love, hope and peace with all we meet, how the ripple effect would flowing others lives!
I challenge you to touch every person you meet shopping, getting coffee etc, you took time to really see them, feel their hearts and speak to them from yours, that we are all in this crazy hate filled time together. We can change so much by creating a tsunami of love!
Huge hugs my sweet friends. We need your love right now to drown the hate and evil from our world!
