Kick off your Infinite Love and Gratitude Exchange Program...

Today and everyday. Remember...

Nothing is accomplished looking outward and asking for permission or seeking approval. Every great achievement of authentic expression begins within from the pure space of knowing.  Take this moment to explore your inner space and watch the magnificence unfold as you deepen your personal practice of listening to your intuition.

A Day of Gratitude

Somedays your heart is just overflowing with warmth and joy in remembering all the fabulous acts of kindness and sharing that our days bring. In thinking about how my whole "Love Everyone" journey started, today I want to thank Anne Morrow Lindbergh for her work, her efforts in sorting through life and for her journey to find a little peace and solace in the world. These words from her book THE GIFT FROM THE SEA became a wake up call to living my life in the pursuit of the truth, in a centered and authentic way, in the grace of each moment and in love with all that I see.

"I want in fact to borrow the language of the saints -- to live "in grace" as much of the time as possible... By grace I mean an inner harmony, essentially spiritual, which can be transformed into outward harmony. I am seeking perhaps what Socrates asked for in the prayer from the Phaedrus when he said, "May the outward and inward man be at one."  I would like to achieve a state of inner spiritual grace from which I could function and give as I was meant in the eyes of God."

This moving and insightful book delivered to me an uncomplicated truth - the reference to Socrates words, "may the outward and inward man be at one" - it was something my unconscious had picked up and wanted to share, wanted to experience and had unwittingly become ingrained in my days becoming a battle cry. In reading something that resonates "the soul thrills at what we all already know."  We are all speaking from the same source, the same human spaces of being, we may couch it obscuring it from the world, we may express it differently but it lives and breathes in all we do becoming expressions of ourselves through our actions.

The process of shifting gears in my life, from moving to movie making to the more solitary work of writing a book (that would become five books) opened so many doors to my understanding, brought me to places of wisdom beyond anything I could have ever imagined and most importantly brought me peace of mind, to a resonating love in full beauty and abundance everywhere I look accomplishing everything I could have ever hoped, bringing my inner and outer "man" in harmony. A harmony that is now humming!

It's interesting how history works, my knowledge of Anne Lindbergh would have ended with the wacky footnote of her being the mother of the Lindbergh baby except for my Therapist's love of books and a deeply resonating fear of water that brought the book into my hands. Anne broke through her early and painful tragedy, had five children, wrote a ton of books and was a famous aviator in her own right. She juggled it all beautifully, keeping herself open to the moments of quiet, and when necessary creating her own. She became a conduit for learning and the spirit of reclaiming an earthy energy.

Just as the tides ebb and flow, Anne's reminder and simple message that everywhere things seem overwhelming in a sea of change the next step is always available and waiting.

Let's borrow from the language of the saints and live "in grace" as often as possible. In infinite love and gratitude for everything that comes our way.

May you live in the grace of each moment opening each gift that comes!


In grace and appreciation.

CHECK OUT MEL'S FIRST BOOK - WITH LOVE

GET A HANDLE ON WHAT YOU REALLY NEED TO DIVORCE

 

Angels, Love, Light and Happiness

Messages arrive constantly and in an endlessly fascinating and wildly varied array of forms in our highly interactive smart phone heavy culture.

The question.... How can we increase our emotional musculature to process all this constant and chronic information that barrages our peace of mind?

For me I use a very simple method that was born out of a deep process of looking at everything that was said to me through a lens of love. With this lens firmly in place I ask myself...  "is this a message I need to hear and deeply receive? or is this a projection emanating from a wound that needs to be healed so it doesn't show up again."  

I feel truly blessed to wake up every day with an open heart to receive all the beautiful messages that continually arrive.

-- THE MESSAGE THAT SHOWED UP TODAY --

Dear Melanie,

Just wanted to let you know that our conversation about choosing a theme for the year really helped me to zero in on what I want to focus on....so just wanted to say thanks for your inspiration. (My theme is "cherish time"....and I repeat it in my head like a mantra when I need to get refocused.)

I want to let you know that I think you are Amazing, Magnificent and Phenomenal. Truly.

I heard you speak at the AMP gathering as well as a recent dinner and both times, everyone was hanging on your every word. Not only do you have a presence that commands attention, but what you express is so heartfelt and deep and touching and universal.

I thought you'd like to know how other people see you.

Love,
Elaine

 Indeed...

In Grace and Appreciation.

"This morning as I look into your eyes..."

... I say to you, "I love you. I would rather die than hate you." And I'm foolish enough to believe that through the power of this love somewhere, men of the most recalcitrant bent will be transformed. And then we will be in God's kingdom. We will be able to matriculate into the university of eternal life because we had the power to love our enemies, to bless those persons that cursed us, to even decide to be good to those persons who hated us, and we even prayed for those persons who despitefully used us.

Oh God, help us in our lives and in all of our attitudes, to work out this controlling force of love, this controlling power that can solve every problem that we confront in all areas. Oh, we talk about politics; we talk about the problems facing our atomic civilization. Grant that all men will come together and discover that as we solve the crisis and solve these problems "the international problems, the problems of atomic energy, the problems of nuclear energy, and yes, even the race problem" let us join together in a great fellowship of love and bow down at the feet of Jesus. Give us this strong determination."

Today we honor a man whose belief in the principles of Love in action as a social force of transformation ignited a movement that exploded heinous injustices across our land. Martin Luther King Jr. utilized Ghandi's principles of non-violence to great effect. These words selected from the end of his sermon from 1957 in Alabama speaks to loving your enemies as yourself, to forgiving those "who have trespassed against you." and to fully recognizing the true power of love.

I am glad to follow in some of the footsteps of a true soul stirring believer in the power of love. Please enjoy some of my past posts that include words and ideas brought forth by Martin Luther King Jr.

"Awaken into the fierce urgency of now."

"Have a dream."

Race. Right. Love. Justice.

Let there be light.

Live life in love.

I hope you take today to open your heart in ways you never imagined possible and may your vision extend to all you meet with love.

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!

Enjoy Dinah Washington singing This Bitter Earth...

"what good is love that no one shares."

Love's First Kiss

Ahhh the feeling of the most gentle first kiss igniting our inner flame.

A Teeny Tiny Prayer

I am thankful for today, for the gifts I've been given, for the love I've experienced and for the generosity of spirit and integrity of purpose that shines through every circumstance that challenges my peace of mind, opening doors and new gateways to a deeper presence of myself.

In Grace and Appreciation

With LOVE

Love in the Abstract

Life is such an ongoing lesson in how much love is available on the planet. It has been an interesting time and I for one continue to be inspired by the lessons that are delivered and the messengers that drop off their gifts. A dear friend of mine shared one of her favorite writings... The Nightingale and the Rose from The Happy Prince and Other Tales (1888) by Oscar Wilde at a recent Tea and while I have my own thoughts about its meaning I'd love to hear yours... 

 

"She said that she would dance with me if I brought her red roses," cried the young Student "but in all my garden there is no red rose."

From her nest in the holm-oak tree the Nightingale heard him, and she looked out through the leaves, and wondered.

"No red rose in all my garden!" he cried, and his beautiful eyes filled with tears. "Ah, on what little things does happiness depend! I have read all that the wise men have written, and all the secrets of philosophy are mine, yet for want of a red rose is my life made wretched."

"Here at last is a true lover," said the Nightingale. "Night after night have I sung of him, though I knew him not: night after night have I told his story to the stars, and now I see him. His hair is dark as the hyacinth-blossom, and his lips are red as the rose of his desire; but passion has made his face like pale ivory, and sorrow has set her seal upon his brow."

"The Prince gives a ball to-morrow night," murmured the young Student, "and my love will be of the company. If I bring her a red rose she will dance with me till dawn. If I bring her a red rose, I shall hold her in my arms, and she will lean her head upon my shoulder, and her hand will be clasped in mine. But there is no red rose in my garden, so I shall sit lonely, and she will pass me by. She will have no heed of me, and my heart will break."

"Here indeed is the true lover," said the Nightingale. "What I sing of, he suffers - what is joy to me, to him is pain. Surely Love is a wonderful thing. It is more precious than emeralds, and dearer than fine opals. Pearls and pomegranates cannot buy it, nor is it set forth in the marketplace. It may not be purchased of the merchants, nor can it be weighed out in the balance for gold."

"The musicians will sit in their gallery," said the young Student, "and play upon their stringed instruments, and my love will dance to the sound of the harp and the violin. She will dance so lightly that her feet will not touch the floor, and the courtiers in their gay dresses will throng round her. But with me she will not dance, for I have no red rose to give her"; and he flung himself down on the grass, and buried his face in his hands, and wept.

"Why is he weeping?" asked a little Green Lizard, as he ran past him with his tail in the air.

"Why, indeed?" said a Butterfly, who was fluttering about after a sunbeam.

"Why, indeed?" whispered a Daisy to his neighbour, in a soft, low voice.

"He is weeping for a red rose," said the Nightingale.

"For a red rose?" they cried; "how very ridiculous!" and the little Lizard, who was something of a cynic, laughed outright.

Dance, Dance, Dance...
