My door is always open, the coffee pot is always on and my sofa is always warm and a place of peace and non judgement. Any of my family and friends who need to chat are welcome anytime . It's no good suffering in silence. I have cold drinks in the fridge...tea & coffee in the cupboard and I will always be here. ...You are never not welcome!!

Blue Monday is a name given to a day in January (typically the third Monday of the month) reported to be the most depressing day of the year and January the worst month for su***des, it's always good to talk but even better to listen.

I'll always lend an ear and a shoulder.......and my heart.

Could at least one friend, please copy and repost (not share)? I'm trying to demonstrate that someone is always listening ❤️😊

We each have such important roles in this world. Along the joUrney, we learn to love ourselves and one another without falter. If love is the keystone to our point of attraction, we hold each other together in the most amazing ways. Don't ever give up. You are loved.

People say: " If you need anything, don't hesitate, I'll be there for you "... so I'm going to make a request; without being pessimistic, I would like my FB friends & family to join me in raising awareness for Mental illness. You just have to copy & paste (not share)!!! Write "done" in comments when you do! As a mental health advocate, I'm begging you!
It's mental illness awareness month

You can not see mental illnesses but they do exist.. i hope more people would understand that its not something you make up. Praying for healing♡

Done at the request of a friend, as most who know me know I am an advocate for individuals with mental illness.

this is beyond tragic!! Tears rolled as I saw this....We CAN do better!!! We MUST do better!!!! If you're interested in being a part of the solution, we encourage you to get involved. Support groups like those mentioned in the video/article and local groups IMpower Project, St. Vincent De Paul, there are sooo many. But the MOST important thing EVERY one can do that costs NOTHING and will have the GREATEST impact is LOVE--Love deeper, bigger, harder, UNCONDITIONALLY. Reach out to someone who may be struggling. Forgive. Smile at a passer by. Volunteer. Things like this just shouldn't happen.

Good morning and HAPPY SUNDAY lovelyheads!!!

"Love is a song we sing, fear is the way we die" the first line of this song says it all!!!

Certainly in the wake of most recent events, there have been heavy hearts, questions, so many questions, but the most asked of course is "why"? I cannot imagine, nor can I wrap my mind, heart or soul around why and how a person can hurt another living thing, taking lives indiscriminately...I can't imagine an act of violence against another human being let alone bring myself to to lodge bullets in them. I have experienced countless "injustices" witnesses even more and it NEVER occurred to me to pull out my AK-47 or M-16, or even a fist to "right" the "wrong."

What I DO KNOW is that LOVE is TRULY the ONLY way to shift the paradigm of fear-whose path is one ONLY of destruction: destruction of relationships, destruction of people, nations, and the planet. We have all borne witness to fear's motivation and ability to oppress, deny, abuse, torture and kill....

LOVE cannot conceive of these things. Certainly we can attest to this in the example of our own lives--when we are PRESENT to and FEELING Love we feel connected, uplifted, grateful, inspired, peaceful, empowered, confident, compassionate, kind, caring, creative, we see the beauty in all things, etc etc, etc...and when we are not feeling when we disconnect from love (primarily for ourselves) we feel powerless, uneasy, doubtful, afraid, and ALONE to name a few...And yes, it's much easier to show love and be in love's space when we're feeling good about our lives, when things are really good...however it is in the times of great challenge that LOVE has the opportunity to demonstrate it's power to heal, to restore WHOLENESS to that which has been broken, to OVERCOME in its gentle way, the fears and obstacles that darkens the path and our days. It is here, that LOVE has the opportunity to TRULY shine. We only see the brilliant shining of the stars against the backdrop of darkness.

And simple simple acts of Love are enough to change the world, from one of fear and lack, to LOVE and ABUNDANCE. Saying hello to a stranger, offering a smile, being a voice for the voiceless, picking up litter on the sidewalk, buying a coffee for the person in line with you, offering a helping hand, planting a garden, COMMUNICATING feelings of love, appreciation and gratitude, COMMUNICATING our wants and needs and LISTENING to what's being communicated, sitting next to the person no one sits next to, but the most important act of LOVE is allowing LOVE to move us beyond our fear, beyond anger, beyond judgement and ideas of punishment and right and wrong to reach IN and EMBRACE ourselves and reach OUT to EMBRACE others in the ONLY ARMS that we need...the ARMS of LOVE. Wishing you a BEAUTIFUL and JOYFUL Sunday!! so...come one people now, SMILE ON YOUR BROTHER...You are SOOO SOOOO LOVED!!!!

"Get Together", also known as "Let's Get Together", is a song written in the mid 1960s by American singer-songwriter Chet Powers (aka Dino Valenti). The song...
