Have you ever felt…

As a society, as a world, are we coming to a collective conscientiousness that places more importance on love, happiness, giving to each other, the world in harmony?  I believe we are, truly.  I look at iHeart, and I am flooded with the feeling that indeed there is a higher power, or a definite and real spirituality that exists among us, within us.  Giving is what this community of amazing single parents does on a daily basis.  They give their heartfelt support and advice to each other.  They give of themselves through sharing about their lives, sharing their family with each other.

I look at the election results.  When the results were announced and the TV cameras captured the onlookers with tears of joy, elation and marveling at this momentous historic occasion, we witnessed it.  We heard it when the President Elect spoke:

This is our moment. This is our time – to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth – that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we cant, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people:

Yes We Can. Thank you, God bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America.

I don’t know about you, but I felt the world breathe a sigh of relief, a weight lifted, and an entire species come together…enough so that it brought me to tears.  That was real.  I believe we have elected a President that understands that we are evolving as a people.

As we evolve, we are changing where we place importance.  We are realizing that the old ways of greed and looking out for number one are not the way to happiness.  What feels better than giving, making someone else feel good, helping out a friend in need, without expecting something in return?  Giving is love.  Love is truth.  This is no coincidence.  Love connects us all, we are all one.  No wonder it feels so good to give.  Because when we give to each other, we are giving to ourselves and the rest of the world.  Just as it was felt on election night, so it is felt when someone gives to someone else.  Emotions are felt, and I’m thankful for feelings because without feeling the lowest of lows, we could not feel the highest of joys.  Have you ever felt so much gratitude and grace that you cried tears of joy?  These emotions prove that there is more to life than meets the eye.
