More Love in the World...

"I think there should be more love in the world. I am talking about gritty, dangerous, wild eyed love. Radical acceptance of people. Belonging. That kind of love."

Brené Brown

Yes, more Love in the world please!

And I'll let it start with me...

And let it start with you!

Much Loves,

Angela.

Beautiful People Become...

"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These people have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Beautiful people do not just happen. Beautiful people become.

And I thank you, for being beautiful.

This is Living...

"Never touch anything with half of your heart. Be present, endlessly loving and compassionate towards others. Confront any challenging situation first with a deep breath. Wander. Remember that your own happiness and comfort comes above all things. Before reacting, try understanding. Eat breakfast every morning. Find the faces in the flowers. Remember what is important to you. Treat your body kindly. Be honest. Get to know yourself. Take things at your own pace. Do not feel embarrassed to feel, laugh, cry, sing or love. Remember that what is right for someone else may not be what is right for you (and that’s okay). Never be ashamed or afraid to ask for help. Do what you love. Remember that you always have a choice. Find joy in what life really is. That is living."

That Someone is You...

"You are waiting for that magical day when someone makes the connection and recognizes who you really are. Maybe they’ll first catch the sparkle in your eye. Or perhaps they’ll marvel at your insights and the depth of your spirit. Someone who will help you connect the dots, believe in yourself, and make sense of it all. Someone who will understand you, approve of you, and unhesitatingly give you a leg up so that life can pluck your ready, ripened self from the branch of magnificence. Well, I am here to tell you, your wait is over. That someone, is you."

I see you, I hear you. I am listening.

Understanding Life...

"When I was five years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I did not understand the assignment. And I told them they did not understand life."

The Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers

“My hope is that that this new era beginning to open, be an era of understanding for fundamental questions of health. That this period be an era of love and friendship between humans and among all peoples.” 

Grandmother Bernadette Rebienot

www.grandmotherscouncil.org

Today I spent the day with the Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers.

It was an honour. It was inspiring. Humble and majestic.

And it was awakening.

There's a beautiful book which I read last year, and I can only recommend.

"Grandmothers Counsel the World. Women Elders Offer Their Vision for Our Planet", by Carol Schaefer.

Each of the Grandmothers was a grace of her own. Be it Agnes or Flordemayo. And a very personal encounter and heart's embrace with Julieta left me with an overwhelming blessing.

Thank you for today. Thank you for the experience. And thank you, for reminding us of the importance of our traditions and ancestors. But also reminding us of our obligation and responsibility to this beautiful life and world that we live in.

Much Loves,

Angela
