The last person would share the story with the group and then the first person would tell us what they actually said. We would all laugh about how much the stories had changed. It was an innocent party game, no harm was done.
Gossip, cyber bullying or failing to check our personal stories at the door often are far from harmless. Children have killed themselves because of the pain caused by bullying. All of the misery we experience in our lives has the same cause regardless of the events. The real cause of all suffering is separation from love, from our spirit and from divinity.
Life is and then we tell ourselves a story. We make our choices and react to life based on that story. If that story is one of fear happiness, joy and abundance are excluded from the equation.
What if love became our guiding force?
There is so much fear in this world. Just for today focus on what you love. Even if it is little things like I love the sun or the color blue. I love Pumpkin Spice Lattes, yummy yummy Lattes. Use the word love as often as you can today. Love, love, love. Practice loving things you may perceive as unlovable: dog poop on your shoe (someone loves that dog), loud neighbors (they are just enjoying life), yucky tasting food(someone is enjoying it). I think you get the idea.
This weekend I watched a documentary on OWN called Bridegroom. I was deeply touched and it all started with this YouTube video.
No matter what the question or the problem LOVE is always the answer. I’d love to hear your thoughts and feelings in the comment section below.
With love and aloha,

Very moving video…so much love between the two boys ‘men’. Broke my heart…I hope their story inspires others to be more tolerant and let love BE.
I agree …. all there is is love yet so many people choose judgment instead. The movie version of this YouTube video is very moving.
With love and taking a deep breath to accept judgment,
Susan
I was so moved by this video. Many emotions and anger was the greatest challenge of all to overcome! Anger at ignorance ! These two boys were so in love , more in love than many heterosexual couples who condemn such relationships . Now I have overcome the anger and am just holding on to the love in my heart . You are an awesome young man and very courageous ! Tom and many like him will be smiling cause you have made a difference! Keep up the fight ! …. With love in ur heart and if you feel the love fade just ask for more ! There is an endless supply from Source ! May Source and the Angels protect and inspire you in your work . X
Thanks Jackie,
It would be nice if this was the millennium where we finally let go of the unrealistic judging, vengeful God and learned to just feel the love we are always surrounded with.
If you get the chance watch the documentary Bridegroom http://www.oprah.com/oprahdotcom/About-Bridegroom-Video
John Lennon said it best, “All there is is love”
With love, Susan
Wow. What a powerful video. I have always thought that more love in this world , no matter who it’s between is a wonderful thing. I can’t imagine what it would be like to live in such a hate and fear filled space, such as where Tom’s parents live. I wish love for them. It is time for some big changes. This is truly an eyeopener and I for one am listening.
I pray love for everyone first and then all other things like tolerance and acceptance and non-judgement will come along with it.
With a heart full of love
I agree what a fearful world Tom’s parents live in. It never ceases to amaze me what people do in the name of God. The movie Bridegroom really moved me.
Thanks for sharing ….
