{Love comes more naturally...}

Thank you, President Obama, for reminding us!
"No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love. For love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite."
-Nelson Mandela


(On August 12, 2017, after the racists events in Charlottesville, Virginia, President Obama tweeted this quote; it became the "most liked" in Twitter history.)

{Message from London}

There were many fabulous and courageous images this past weekend from the Women's Marches around the world. But as a fashion historian and lover of vintage costumes, this image from London just may be my favorite! You go Girls!! 

Let's intend our daughters and granddaughters will not need to march for basic human rights, but only to share the love! xoxo

(And my favorite line from a reporter—a young man with the Huffington Post—at the scene in Washington DC: "There's a lot of love in the air!")

{And only good will come of it....}

Although the news is full of angry, mean-spirited voices from around the world (harshly reflected in the U.S. election this year), there are also wise, open-hearted voices that remind us that, underneath it all (and not always easy to understand), everything is in divine order.

Ainslie MacLeod reminds us to "Be a force for love and compassion. Turn your fear into feistiness!!" 

Sisterhood Circle voices exclaimed that "this may be the greatest opportunity of our lifetime."

Charles Eisenstein shared "Normal is coming unhinged." And that's a good thing!

And author Neale Donald Walsch writes with optimism: 

...all the changes occurring right now on this
planet are leading to a better life for all.

The movement here is going to be back to basics,
back to what matters, back to our true values in
families, in relationships, in business and commerce,
in politics, and in the world.

Do not worry, therefore. This is the Time which has
been predicted. And only good will come of it.

{Smother Life with Love}


"Love is breathing into your heart," according to A Course in Miracles. So breathe deeply and slowly....we need more love in the world today!

And I, well, love this musing about love from Neale Donald Walsch in one of his online morning messages last month:




On this day of your life
Dear Friend I believe God wants you to know...
...that love, in fact, is the agent of universal synthesis. 

Pierre Teilhard De Chardin said that, and he was right.
It is the energy that ties everything together...and
everything falls apart without it.

If your own life is "falling apart" at some level, maybe
it's time to add some love. But don't wait to receive it.
Act like you can't wait to give it.

Smother life with love and watch everything come
together again!
