Spread Hope, Believe in Peace

There is so much negativity on fb, in the news, across our nation, around the World... even some people claiming to represent God can be heard spewing hateful words towards this group of people or that.

I've grown weary of it, I'd like to think you have, too.

The judging, gossiping, sensationalizing... I do believe that each of us can make a difference. Just as a tiny pebble into a still pond can send ripples to the far shore, if we focus on positivity we can spread kindness, understanding and acceptance. We need to listen with our hearts.

That's where Truth resides. Whatever name you want to give that Truth... God, Spirit, Soul... the title is irrelevant, but it lives inside each of us. I don't claim to have your answers, but I know this is true for me because it comes from my heart, I am here to be kind and love others. How simple!

So how did things around the Earth get so complicated?!

Some people stopped listening to their hearts!

They started to move away from their loving spirit towards power and control over others. They've taken the true essence of all that is good, twisted the truth to suit their impure desires, and fed it back to the masses. I don't have to be a part of it.

I can choose to spread positivity.

I know we all get swept up sometimes in gossip or degradation. But I can start being more mindful. When I hear myself say negative words, I can stop myself, take a deep breath, replace the negative with a positive thought, say a prayer, and come back to listening to my heart. That's my resolution. Each of us has a light inside of us. I'm going to try my best to let mine shine.

"I hope one day you'll join us, and the world will live as one."

Peace, love and light, Beth
