Why Life is Always a Testament of Hope. Mels Love Land #MiniMag Issue 10 | Love Everyone

My nephew would bust into every room he entered and say "I have a great idea." Believe me, not all of his ideas were great. I applaud his verve and I appreciate and celebrate him, he was born that way and was given the gifts of compassion and empathy and balance to go along with his idea full mind. Thoughts become form. The ends are inherent in the means. You find what you are looking for. Everyone is here for a reason. Each relationship, action, creates an equal and opposite re-action. Transformation is underway. We are learning the ways of a Trump less world as he showcases all of the people, ideas, energies, systems that are old minded, not of the people and have no concept of joy and love being at the center of all our well being. Fear and loathing, hate and hypocrisy are being revealed for deeper holding, more love and we are experiencing a release into what is possible.   New spaces, where open hearted grace leads the way, where you don't know everything, where idea...

STAY AWAKE FOR THE REVOLUTION Mels Love Land #MiniMag Issue 10 | Love Everyone

ALLOW YOUR HEART TO ACHE, ALLOW YOUR MIND TO STAY OPEN, AWAKEN TO THE DEEP RIVER OF CONNECTION TO FLOW.  DO NOT BE FOOLED BY ILLUSIONS OF FEAR AND HATE. One of the great liabilities of life is that all too many people find themselves living amid a great period of social change, and yet they fail to develop the new attitudes, the new mental responses, that the new situation demands. They end up sleeping through a revolution" From the last Sunday Sermon delivered by Martin Luther King Jr. at the National Cathedral in Washington DC. Hiding in the bosom of the cult of culture is not going to do it. No more living in the delusion of separation and being different. No more blinders. It is time for the truth.  Until all of us on this planet are peaceful, none of us can experience true happiness. It is a wholeness pattern, within each of us is light and dark and as we embrace and embody ourselves is the awakeness of now in love. When Love and Fearlessness meet you bare witness to...

Mels Love Land Justice and Peace Moment - In gratitude Martin Luther King, Jr.

IN honor of the spirit, ideals and love that Martin Luther King, Jr. embodied let's take a moment in the today's schedule to sit and center into the heart of love. Allow yourself the privilege of aliveness to drop into the deeply sacred space of all that is and all that glorious light within to shine. Take several deep breaths and when you feel the movement of the heart and spirit of Love Justice rise into being, allow this to extend outward without reserve to those closest you, and now, stretch, extend and share that with your community, and continue onward, allow that experience to expand to our states, our country, the countries all over the earth and the universe at large. Right now. Pulse with the energy of love in all its grace and allow that light of love to radiate as a blessing to all. Return to the center of your heart filling your lungs and body and being with this love and remain resting in steady breath till it is time to MOVE. In this next moment forgive yourself,...
