We have $255,000.00 today.
10% savings = $25,500.00

HERE IS MY PLAN: Speak Love

“The soul of the soul of the Universe is love.” –Rumi

How are you showing up in the world?

Once again, the news of gun violence demands our attention. From Colorado High School students being shot by a fellow student, to a lone sniper killing Charlie Kirk at a speaking event on a Utah college campus. We are being called to respond to life with love.  According to the National Institute of Mental Health research, 1 in 6 adults in the United States lives with a mental illness. Ranging from mild to severe, mental health is a major public concern in the United States. What does “respond to life with love” look or feel like to me this week? Love is access to health care, mental, physical and spiritual. While I am processing the grief generated from the senseless loss of life this week, I am also celebrating the joy of young people taking actions to make a difference in the world.

Six years ago this month, I had a conversation with a child in my old neighborhood. Amber, who was eleven years old at that time, shared concerns about her grandfather. He had recently been diagnosed with cancer. Amber asked, “What exactly is cancer? How does cancer grow? Why haven’t people figured out how to stop it yet? Why does cancer happen to people you love?” We chatted for an hour or so and then she turned to me and said, “I am going to find the fix for cancer.” I replied, “Amber, I believe you can.  This week Amber received an acceptance letter into a university Biochemistry program. This college program helps Amber move another step toward becoming a doctor or researcher who discovers the next level of solutions for people who have been diagnosed with cancer. What have you wished could be discovered or invented in your lifetime?  Solutions are all around us, waiting to be seen and activated. How are you showing up in the world?

$100.00: Self-care. I am paying for monthly phone access. Connecting with family and friends is good for my mental health.  And I love that!

$0: Priceless: The Dreams of a Child

“I do have reasons for Hope: our clever brains, the resilience of nature, the indomitable Human Spirit, and above all, the commitment of young people when they’re empowered to take action.” –Jane Goodall

Listening to a child wonder out loud. The walls of limitation are often removed when a child is focused on solutions. Their ideas range from elementary to galactic undertakings of crazy science fiction. These limitless brainstorming activities plant seeds of possibility. When we help one person, we are part of the solution for all. How does it get better than that? Do something kind today.

Respond to life with love. Repeat. What would it take?

$26,400.00: This money is being donated in Amber’s name to the cancer research programs at the non-profit Stand Up to Cancer (SU2C). The mission of SU2C “is to raise funds to accelerate the pace of groundbreaking translational research that can get new therapies to patients quickly and save lives now.” You can learn more here: Stand Up To Cancer!

$100,000.00:  Amber just might be the person who “fixes cancer.” Today, I am contributing these dollars to her college fund. What if she can?

Respond to life with love. Repeat. What would it take?

$1000.00: This week’s date includes dinner with neighbors and conscious conversations.

How much love can you stand?

Flow Five Friday:  Current “real” life expressions of gratitude, love and contribution to well-being.

$5.00: This week’s five dollars were donated to Stand Up to Cancer. The mailing address is P.O. Box 843721 Los Angeles, CA 90084-3721. I am choosing to be the energy of what works in life.

Five increments of time: I celebrated a college acceptance letter with Amber. Being there; how does it get better than that? How are you “Flowing Five” this week?

Well-Being: Something that I am doing or not doing for self-care in real time.

I am writing, podcasting, and hosting weekly Dream Lifting Office Hours on zoom.  In each of these communication mediums I find myself speaking love with people who matter. What are you doing or not doing for self-care?

Planet Awareness: Contributing to the health of Earth.

“Every positive social change we’ve experienced is the result of imagining a better future, organizing for it, and participating in the meaningful struggle along with others who care.” –Alexa Spence

Did you know that we are on track to experiencing the hottest year on Earth? Luckily, the younger generations are stepping up to create solutions.  Spence, a psychology professor at Suffolk University who studies climate anxiety in children wrote that she is seeing young people focusing on thriving actions for the planet to leave a better world for their children. Imagine a better future with people who care again.

What are you doing for the health of our planet?

Hold Space or Contribute to a Friends Life Intention

This week I am supporting Amber, who received her first acceptance letter into a university program for Biochemistry. One of her living intentions is to be a doctor or researcher who discovers solutions for cancer. One way that you can help support Amber’s living intention is to imagine her success finding health solutions for people we love. Or do something kind to support your own wellbeing today. Speak with love.

Choose joy. Be kind. Love others and strive to be a better human. What would it take?

Choose to feel good. Be Joy. 
Practice gratitude. Amplify Kindness. Expand Generosity. 
Ask, Receive, and Give with More Ease. 
Respond to life with Love.
