“Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible — it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could.” ~ Barbara De Angelis

“I would like to see every single soldier on every single side, just take off your helmet, unbuckle your kit, lay down your rifle, and set down at the side of some shady lane, and say, nope, I ain’t a gonna kill nobody. Plenty of rich folks wants to fight. Give them the guns.” ~Woodie Guthrie

“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.” ~Frank Zappa

“I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.” ― Mother Teresa
A number of people recently have approached me about feeling “hopeless” when it comes to change happening on the planet. This is something I have experienced myself and wanted to share some insight with you all. The thought can leave us with a feeling of being discouraged, doubtful and even powerless at times and in order to move through this, we have to let go of how the thought of hopelessness makes us feel and how it limits us. When we’re discouraged and doubtful, where does it lead? It can trigger frustration, anger, resentment, separation, judgement, etc. All stories that take us away from being ourselves and experiencing each moment peacefully, with clarity and without limitation.
We all chose to be here at this time and we all have our gifts that we bring to the collective. Whenever someone comes to me about this, I always ask them how it makes them feel to do work that is assisting in bringing about change. Everyone always responds with the same answer of it being what resonates most, but when our minds take over and start to rationalize why it’s not fulfilling, we begin to fall into a trap of discomfort and resistance towards what we’re experiencing. I completely understand the feeling of putting your heart into something and not accomplishing the results that you had hoped for, but all we can do is set our intentions and allow it to present as it needs to. We have to let go of needing to control our external world. We are going through a shift in consciousness that is happening worldwide and there is a lot of different perspectives on the human experience, but at the end of the day, learning to be in tune with what resonates with each of us individually is where strength lies. The more of us who come to strengthen our own inner knowing and apply it to our everyday lives, sharing it with the world, the more powerful we can be together and work together.
One of the most important things that is holding back humanity from shifting more rapidly is a lack of unification in efforts and vision. Change isn’t something that is hopeless, change is ever constant. It’s what we decide to do with our power to create that will determine the outcome of our future. All in all, if things seem slow or doubtful, ask yourself what else you would like to do. What makes you feel whole and the most like yourself? We can joke about stuff like giving up and going to chase riches to live the “ideal life” within this system or something like leaving this experience (checking out), but the opportunity for growth and the potential on this planet right now has never before been as open as it is now. We’ve got our foot in the door, it’s now time to walk through it. When change seems hopeless, be yourself and live from your heart. Be that light to shine wherever you are, with whatever you’re doing. You never know how powerful it may be or where it could lead to!
Much love and light,

Follow your heart!!
“Only the most bitter and cynical among us still cling to the dreams of a soulless world, but their influence is waning, their power now almost ghostly. We must not let their screams, however agonized, sarcastic and loud they might be, deter us from our revolutionary goal. We must respect ourselves enough, at last, to absolutely know what we know. Something is wrong. We feel it. We must hold to the conviction that the heart, not the brain, is the light of the world. The mind goes insane without the guidance of the heart. The intellect must bow to the spiritual impulse. We have been impregnated by a divine idea, and out of the womb of our mature consideration will come, when the time is ripe, the birthing of a better world. We are preparing to give birth to the people we are meant to be.”

“Even in the midst of the raging storm, pause long enough to remind yourself that it’s all a miracle. And when the pain is unbearable and you think you can no longer go on, remember this: On that day in the future when you’re gasping for your final breath, you will gladly take back even your worst day, to live over again…to watch the sunrise, to smell the flowers, to hear your child’s laughter, to hold the ones you love just one more time. With that in mind, laugh in the face of the storm. Find the courage that lies deep within. Let adversity fuel your determination. Nobody said it would be easy. You only fail if you give up….so don’t.” – JSB
