When You Feel It, You Know...

Ya know, life is so beautiful. It's such a wonderful mixture and it's the mixture that makes it what it is. With this realization on the forefront, I'm gonna wake up every morning and celebrate life.

Sometimes I wish I grew up in the 60's so I could be a hippie because hippies really understand truth at its core: love for all people, places, and things - regardless. They make life so simple - I think we make it too complicated. Enough working for "the man" and just paying bills with our lives. Sometimes I think about leaving everything behind and spending my savings on a flight to a beautiful island and living with the natives...and just breathing it all in, realizing theres more to life than accumulating more stuff.

We need to come together and rise above the hatred. I wonder, will we? Will we become peaceful, forgiving, hopeful, loving? We all need a little healing and a lot of love. I've learned that if you give it, it will all be returned. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but it's on the horizon. So dont worry, let's come together and rise above.

There's something incredible that happens when you forgive, perhaps its more about releasing the innocent than about freeing the guilty. When you forgive, you love (both others and yourself) - you let go of the bitterness, the anger, the pain. Don't go through life carrying the bags of other travelers -don't carry more luggage than you have to, there's too much positivity to waste it. Make the most of this life - let go of the regret, the shame, the mask. Let's make the most because...

There's people on the streets, children with no fathers, daughters with no mothers. There's just so much potential, possibility, opportunity to give back.

I believe love can set us free, the question is will we let it?
