Dear Friend in Peace,

As people of peace, rather than moan about what's falling apart in our world and demoralize ourselves and everyone around us, we choose to focus on all that is positive and uplifting. We celebrate as we see millions of people worldwide literally speaking up and standing up for "Liberty and Justice for all."

Neighbors are helping neighbors and strangers are helping strangers because we are profoundly connected and we care about one another. What happens to you, impacts me and vice versa. With every positive thought and action, we help create and spread a culture of loving kindness and hope. These gentle expressions of brother and sisterhood change everything within ourselves, others, our nation, and our world, shifting them to become more positive and peaceful.

Instead of falling prey to fear and anger when we hear words of hate, we simply breathe them out of our minds and let them float away as we focus on the goodness of others and return our hearts and minds to the Peace Of Positivity.

1. Place your hand(s) on your heart.
2. Breathe out the nonsense.
3. Breathe in peace.
4. Continue 2 & 3 until you feel peaceful.

And here's a flower! I chose this photo to go with our focus on the Peace of Positivity because this Rose Rush (Florida native wildflower) is one of my favorite flowers and speaks to me of elegance and all things beautiful and positive. When I see one, my heart opens and dances in joyous delight. It grows on a tall skinny stem that looks absolutely too delicate to support anything, let alone such magnificent beauty. Amazingly enough, it is tossed about by winds and never looks disheveled or damaged. Everything about this flower brings joy and positivity. It is delicate, intriguing and gorgeous. May you savor its beauty and may it fill your heart with peace. May it inspire us to stand tall in our commitment to positivity and peace.
