You know that beautiful, liminal space between sleep and wake? Well some days, when I’m extra-special blessed, Spirit greets me with a song to start my day. 🎶When they do, and I wake up with a song already playing in my mind – I know it’s an important message and they need me to remember it. This particular message was so important, I’ve received it more than once, over the last couple of weeks!
Everywhere I go lately, everywhere I look: I’m seeing strangers showing kindness to each other, holding doors, and even smiling at each other!? 🙀
Last week, I shared a sweet moment with another mom in a waiting room and I swear to you, she stopped on her way out to ask my name and shake my hand!!!?! 🤯
It’s like Invasion of the Body Snatchers out here!
Is the media even reporting on any of this??
😉 I gave up watching the news and following social media ages ago. (We all agree Substack is different right?) But, I highly doubt the forces of darkness have changed their Modus Operandi since then. I know they want us to believe differently.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not naive. I know it’s bad out there. People are hungry. People are dying.
But there’s love out there too, if you still believe in it.
Earlier this summer, shortly after I posted Real, Tangible, Love ( https://energyalchemyarts.com/real-tangible-love/) I sat in yet another Doctor’s office with my son and I asked him to read it while we waited. Even though he enjoyed my story, it made him sad too. He didn’t want to believe society had disintegrated so much since 2016. While we continued our wait, he had to research to see for himself – that the governor had indeed banned rainbow colored lights on the bridges in the state.
We waited in that crowded office quite a while that day. So long, in fact, we left to get ice cream across the street. The Dr was running an hour and a half behind, and the poor receptionist was paying the price. We brought her back a gift card so she could go get her own ice cream – as soon as she was freed from, what had to be, one of the worst days at work ever!
I told my son, “When you can’t see love, you have to Be love.” 🩵
The irony is, as I’ve come to understand first hand, once you embody love, you see it everywhere!
Something changed for me recently, in my return from Costa Rica, and I made a conscious choice to ‘plug in to love’ in my morning meditations. ☀️ The response was almost instantaneous, and I am now seeing more and more love reflected back at me. So much so, that dare I say- I might even have a little hope?!
Spirit surely does!
That song I mentioned earlier? It is “Good People” by Mumford and Sons & Pharrell.
I really, truly encourage you go listen to the song as soon as you’re finished reading, because it is a powerful anthem of hope!
“Something is stirring now
And I’m not worried
You better get ready to see now,
Good people been
Down for so long
And now it’s like the sun is rising.”
☀️
And it’s true, you know! Spirit confirmed it! Twice!!
Good people ARE rising!
That’s you, you know!
🙂
That’s me.
We are a bold part of the fabric of love. It’s why we are here, on this big, beautiful, blue marble – at a time such as this! To rise! To embody love as best we are able! To carry the wave, to hold the line, to ignite the spark, until enough others can wake up from the darkness they are stuck in, separated from love.
Don’t forget who you are!! Don’t forget all you are capable of and the stardust you contain inside!!
It’s go time!
Love has already won! 🤍
‘Nothing is getting in the way!’…. (now, go listen to the song! & I hope you wake up singing it too!)😉
💗Big Love & Many Blessings🌸
