LOVE over hate. Please!

How would you like it if somebody called you a racist? Or prejudice? Or sexist? Do you think that you are any of those things?

Well to me - if you are bashing someone else for their views - then maybe it's YOU that needs checking?

The most important thing to have a BLiSSful life is to have HARMONY with what is.  Peace and love are available to ALL of us if we UNITE.

Think U.U. What is best for the Universal Upliftment of all people and environment today?

I don't have to have the same view as you in order to love you.

It is VERY DIVISIVE to bash people for their religious beliefs, political views, eating choices etc.  If you believe that you have a better way to live - and someone ASKS you for help - yes - share it - but don't PUT OTHER PEOPLE DOWN for their views.

There is so much hate out there - we don't need to perpetuate it.

Consider that YOU may be wrong about your views.  Or better still you may be 100% RIGHT however it's not the time for that person to realize the truth yet. 

When you are mean about other people's ethics and choices you are harboring bad energy for yourself, your friends, your community and you are reflecting on your family, culture and society.

If you want to communicate - be peaceful and positive - it will be much more influential- and keep the stress out of your life too.

Don't get mad - get compassion and understanding.  Instead of "being right" how about being kind?

(Obviously this doesn't apply to illegal activity which should be reported immediately).

Give up the HATE.  Be L❤️VE.

Or not.  It's up to you.

Live your ultimate life - NOW!!!

At the end of last year my Doctor tested me for a terminal disease.  There was a chance I was going to die in one year if the results were positive (well positively negative ha).

In the three days that I had to wait for the results - I had some time to think.  What would I do differently if I only had one year to live?  What would I have regrets about?  It was an interesting exercise.

What I realized is that I am living my life EXACTLY like I would if I had one year left.  I put fresh fragrant flowers in my home.  I love fully and openly.  I am playful with my friends and husband.  I show my gratitude freely.  I am generous and kind.  I stay in frequent touch with my friends and family.  I apologize quickly.  I laugh loudly.  I am reliable, loyal and have integrity.  I authentically express my creativity through my art, jewels, chocolate and book "I ❤️ MY DOUBLES PARTNER!!!".

I am literally living a BLISSFUL life.  BLiSS by Adeline that is!

So the results came in and I am fine (for now - we all die at some point), but I am so glad to know that I am not taking my breath for granted.  

I am honoring my existence by living passionately in every waking moment.

Take a moment to look at your life - are you happy with it?

News or Gossip?

Yesterday at a Super Bowl party - a woman shared a rumor that she heard about me.  It was very distressing for me to hear it.  And it was completely untrue.

I felt a little blue today - pondering the reason behind the gossip - and also why this person decided to share it with me?  What were her motivations?

And then I looked back at other interactions that I've had with her.  And I determined that her words and actions have leaned towards jealousy and negativity around me.  That explains why she would say something so hurtful to me.  

But she's not a liar - so where did this information stem from?

I then looked at the source of that.  The people that were involved are middle aged drinkers.  Bar peeps.  They get obliterated at least once a week.  And all sorts of odd things happen after they are over served by the eager bartender. So it was meaningless.  It held no weight.  There was nothing more to do there.

And finally I looked at myself.  Where do I gossip versus just being informing of news?  The distinction is when I open my mouth to share information - is it to help - or to hurt?  Am I putting someone else down in an attempt to elevate myself?  If so - then how about looking AT THAT instead of hurting others?  

And so with this new insight - it's time to make some amends.  To own up to the victims of my meanness - apologize - and then forgive myself and move on.

And finally stop gossiping.  It's hurtful.  It hurts my Sisters and Brothers.  And it hurts me too.  Because we are all ONE.

At the end of the day when I rest my head to sleep I want to be clear of conscious with peace of mind.

Time to open my heart and LOVE more.
