I have been calling myself "The
Peace and Love Girl" since my high school and college days in the
seventies. That description still fits me perfectly. I am not anti- anything. I
am pro- kindness.
I believe that when we are either a provider of an act of
kindness, a recipient of an act of kindness or someone in the energy field of
an act of kindness, we benefit greatly from the experience. Our " happy
hormone" (serotonin) increases and we feel good. We naturally want to
share that good feeling by keeping the Love flowing.
I've always known that giving and receiving kindness leads to
joy. But, until I really started paying attention to my feelings, I didn't
realize that just observing one human being doing something nice for another
could elevate my mood- my sense of well being.
It's pretty cool how that works. Love is the only thing that is
real. Everything else
-including fear,
doubt, worry-is only an illusion.
We all long to feel good. Some of us go to tremendous lengths to
find happiness as if it is something outside ourselves. We look in the wrong
direction. Money, power, material goods, drugs,etc... fool us into thinking
we've found the magic cure for unhappiness.
When we keep our hearts and minds open to the high energy
of Love, we discover that it's always been available to us. It is ever present
within us-not outside us. We can tap into this higher power whenever we'd
like.
Connecting to Love, happiness and inner peace is not a
complicated search. If we want to feel good, all we have to do is be kind. Kind
to ourselves and everyone else on Earth. When Jesus said, "Love One
Another", He gave us a beautiful guide to happiness. So, with that thought
in mind, I've created a blog to share great stories of Love, kindness,
compassion, generosity, etc... I invite you to join me in a pleasant journey to
happiness.
