Hatred won't bring happiness.......

There is one part of life that I still marvel at......and likely always will......and that is at the people who hate on other people.......talking about their lives......judging them.....spitting venom and viciousness their way.....from afar or up close and personal........and I always wonder what the payoff is to that?? Like what is a person gaining by doing that?.....That stuff feels awful and will NEVER lead to peace and happiness for them......not ever.....not the real kind.....and yet they persist......I keep hearing of so many situations like that and it is so sad.........and yesterday was a tough and long day to some extent, but had beautiful pockets of inspiration within it......I started the day at my in service, and we have an interim superintendent that gave an inspirational speech, and spoke life into all of us in addition to our school board president......and the shot of positivity and light was appreciated as we begin a new school year....... it was a long day, that started at 2am.....but amid the other challenges of the day more light found me before bed......I got a text from one of my first women's series gals......and she just took a trip of a lifetime to another country to explore a part of her life......one that needed exploring, and she reached out to share that with me, and these lovely pictures of her smiling face.....her face beaming with light and peace and love........and to share that coming to my women's series helped her future self make the move to take this trip, and she thanked me for it......and just wow right?? The only way to combat the energy of hate or any of those things is through love......period......love is the way. Loving others even when it is hard.....even when they betray you......or turn on you.......or any of the rest. Or giving love when it is easy, like with my women's series gal, a woman I can proudly now call my friend:) LOVE IS THE WAY out of darkness every time......and looking for the light.......and letting it lead the way.......contributing to the darkness or staying stuck in it......or letting it have an affect on the rest will only bring you down too......I feel like God places these confirmations in my path.....concrete feedback, and words at just the right time......when I need to be reminded that my while my path is not easy......it really isn't.......and hasn't been for decades even, it is indeed important for me to keep going.....and keep doing my best to love on people in their darkness, and make them feel they are not alone.....and let them know that healing, and hope and ligh,t and peace and love, are all possible despite.....despite what comes to find you or what journey you are on.....and that is my intent every day.....love is the only weapon against hate, venom, viciousness, disdain, resentment, small mindedness and so much more.....so today I look for more light.....I have in service today, and then tonight have a business building mixer type event here to grow professionally and trust that more light will be found there.....if you are reading keep choosing love no matter what......it is the only way:)
