In a world of comparison and conformity, make your own statement. Honor your own truth. Have the courage to be uncommon. ~Author Unknown

As anyone who’s spent any time with me knows all too well, I’ve always been a bit of a rebel when it comes to conformity.

It’s a passion really, one that may have been born as a result of being relentlessly bullied for not fitting in with the “in” crowd when I was a kid, but took on a life of its own as I matured and became aware that the pressure to conform is alive and thriving regardless of age or circumstance.

To love others you must love yourself.  You can only give to others what you have yourself.  This is especially true of love.  You cannot give what you have not learned and experienced.  Since love is not a thing, it is not lost when given.  You can offer your love completely to hundreds of people and still retain the same love you had originally.  It is like knowledge.  Wise people can teach all they know and when they're through they'll still know all that they have taught.  But first they must have the knowledge.  It would better be said that people “share” love, as they “share” knowledge but they can only share what they possess.

God said:

Out of this world! The world you live in is out of this world! You stand in light, and light is your whole story. You may be unaware of the light, the extent of the light, yet you are light shining, and so you shine, and so life is, and you are – WE ARE.
 

Many of you wonder how God could allow so much agony and suffering to occur on the Earth. You were given the gift of free will, thus much of your suffering is a direct result of choices you make. While on a global level, many suffer from the hands of others.

Are you in open expectation for your dreams to come true? Do you start every day excited to see what wonderful things will happen next? If you are living your life as a series of welcome events and surprises, you can only embrace things wholeheartedly when they arrive. Do you see? Are you approaching life with trepidation or with enthusiasm? Because the universe has so many gifts it would love to share with you, if only you would open your hearts to receive them. ~Archangel Gabriel

On Friday Vermont became the first state to call for a convention to amend the U.S. Constitution to reverse the U.S. Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, which precipitated a flood of cash into politics.

Mike Monetta, 37, drove from Boston with a colleague and spent more than 10 hours Thursday in the House gallery waiting for the lower chamber to vote on the Senate-passed resolution, which — as lawmakers race to wrap things up before the end of the biennium — was taken up at the end of a marathon floor session.

He was back in the gallery Friday morning to see Vermont’s resolution get final approval from the House. Monetta is the organizing director for Wolf PAC, which he described as a political action committee to end all political action committees.
