Shortly after the tragedy, Jesse’s mother Scarlett Lewis discovered that he used his final moments to save nine of his classmates. When the shooter stopped to reload, Jesse yelled to his classmates to run. His courage and his love for them is a lesson for all of us. Scarlett realized this violent act began with an angry thought in the perpetrator's head. She also knew that an angry thought could b

Just before the funeral, Scarlett found a message Jesse wrote on their kitchen chalkboard shortly before he died which read, “Nurturing Healing Love.” Using Jesse’s example of courage and his message of hope, Scarlett started a global movement to teach others how to choose love. She founded the Jesse Lewis Choose Love Movement™ to foster the understanding that we can educate and encourage individuals to choose loving thoughts over angry thoughts. Jesse’s message is the foundation of our work and the driving force behind the Movement.

Mental health is not an identity. It is not a label. It is a daily human experience. And if our thoughts can move us toward fear, they can also move us toward healing, growth, connection, and hope.

Choose Love Movement founder, whose son died in Sandy Hook tragedy, champions May 30 as day to 'choose loving thoughts over angry, hateful, and resentful ones.'

What if instead of calling it ‘mental health,’ we called it ‘thought health’?

Because every thought we think affects how we feel, and how we feel affects how we behave.

When children are overwhelmed with fearful, hopeless, self-defeating thoughts, they struggle emotionally and behaviorally. When adults live in chronic stress, comparison, resentment, shame, or fear, it impacts relationships, health, work, and purpose.

Mental health is not an identity. It is not a label. It is a daily human experience.

And if our thoughts can move us toward fear, they can also move us toward healing, growth, connection, and hope.

That’s why mindset matters. And you only need one: the Choose Love mindset🧡
