All Great Changes Are Preceded By…

“All great changes are preceded by chaos.”

~ Deepak Chopra

There’s been so much chaos in our world lately.  Crime, hate, suffering, and terrorism all seem to consume the news, social media and conversations among ourselves.  Planet Earth has become bombarded with chaos seemingly everywhere we turn.  For me, I am saddened to my core by the chaos of our world as I am sure you are as well.  I am frightened by the violence, death and destruction which has unfortunately become increasingly more erratically frequent, more prevalent and somehow more unbelievably evil.

So, what’s the answer?

I pray Deepak is right with the quote above as it gave me a little peace in my heart today.  Perhaps this chaotic time will bring change for the better for our world.  Maybe we can come together to bring about peace in our lands for humanity and for our world.  Imagine if each of us would shine our heartlights everyday in our own corners of the world.  One day we may even be able to eradicate the darkness that seeks to overcome humanity.

One heartlight at a time…

John Lennon’s voice echos in my mind…take a moment, generate peace in our world and hope for a brighter future along with me today.  You can do it.  Imagine…Shine your heartlights dear friends.  May peace be with you all!  You are loved. ♥

Shine On!

I Remember Paris ~ Je me souviens de vous

Praying for Paris

Our heartfelt prayers on this Sunday morning go out to those in France and all whom have been hurt by terrorism.  Facebook has erupted with France’s national colors in an outpouring of love for those whose loved ones have experienced the hate that is associated with terrorist attacks.

When 9/11 happened here in the United States, we mourned the loss of peace in our lives and now we mourn France’s as well.  It is unfathomable to many of us how terrorism holds no regard to the sanctity of human life.  The unspeakable hate which surrounds a terrorist’s heart seems limitless and their beliefs unshakable to act in such violent ways.  I do not even pretend to understand because honestly neither my mind nor heart can wrap themselves around the thought.

My thoughts, my prayers, my heart and mind go out to all of us ~ the peacekeepers.  I hold sacred the loving heartlights which are shining here and abroad, sending prayers and loving thoughts out into the world.  I am reminded that we are all connected, we are all one ~ we are all humans living on this planet Earth.

Shine On!
