Our Mission in life is to be loved and to share love ~ with each breath I take I realize the hope in every moment, that there is an opportunity to change someones day, with a glimmering smile, with a heartfelt hello how are you, our fellow Americans and peers do pick up on that energy. I am so grateful that it is one of my spiritual gifts to give to others the light that they might not always be able to find in themselves.  I want to help people remind themselves they are capable of all the good, of all the love, of all the light inside them to share with the world around them.  And I am so grateful I get to share this message with you all. I am also extremely grateful for my man Teddy, who shows constant care and concern for my health when I am too weak or not in a financial position to provide for myself on a daily basis.  He has ALWAYS been there to help me on my feet.  He truly is a gift I am so grateful for.

9 October

Hey everyone, I don't know if you guys check out the blog that Nick has created as often as I do, but I'm really grateful for Nick taking the time to do that for us. It's pretty cool to have a place where I can look back on all my daily thoughts and see what state of mind I was in each morning. It reminds me of things I am grateful for. Thanks Nick, I appreciate what you do.

On that note, Nick and I created a list of a few questions that would be really helpful to both of us if you took a few minutes to answer. We want to help as many people as possible understand the power of gratitude. Below is a note from Nick and a link where you can answer the questions. Thank you guys! Much love to everyone.

---------------------------

Nick has been trying to create an About page on the blog for some time, and keeps falling short when it comes to the content that should actually be put on the page.  He realised that in order to more fully understand what this project is, we needed some better feedback about what you think this project really is.  We've created a survey to get your input; please take the time to have a look at the survey, think about the questions, and respond to those to which you have an answer.  It would be great if you could respond to all of them, but if you don't have the capacity to respond to all or any, we're still grateful that you took the time to look at the survey.

You can access the survey HERE

Jordan

I'm grateful for this mountain that I'm climbing...every step to the top fills me with faith and hope.

A note from Richard:

Look beyond the physical and discover the true substance of a person... for the substance of a human is not measured by their gender, nationality, sexual preference, color of their skin, or the shape of their eyes or bodies. It is measured by their capacity and actions to unconditionally love one another.
Too often we rush to judgement and are attracted to befriend people based on their physical appearance or social stature.
Elevate your consciousness to this and work, everyday, by your actions, and take time to uncover & discover the beauty and love that resides within us all... and it does.
Enrich your life and those around you and discover the treasure of love that resides in each if us... it is there... no matter what we physically and emotionally " look" like.
The true substance of a person lies in their capacity to accept and embrace the differences in our physical and emotional appearance and cultural diversity.
LOVE ONE ANOTHER... For LOVE IS THE ANSWER AND THE GUIDING LIGHT FOR THE FUTURE OF MANKIND.
