#3 Use My Voice

I know, youre thinking, what? Cause you dont? And if youre someone who knows me in real life, you may be thinking 'oh no, oh shit'. Or maybe just, 'this is gonna get interesting'. But you know how it is. How sometimes the things that most need to be said are the hardest to say. Or how in relationships we can let the little hurts (and the big ones) lay buried until they make us sick, they taint (or destroy) the relationship or we explode.So I want to work on this. On keeping the air clear and my heart free.  And if we're tired of the baggage, maybe its time we take a break.

There is so much going on in this world that needs speaking up about. There is so much good stuff going on in this world that needs to be told. We can use our voices to counter all the negativity that is so readily available when we turn on the TV, or our computers. Or standing in line at the grocery store, looking at the 'mean' magazines, the gossip rags. Right there in front of our faces. Doesn't matter if anyone buys them. We all see them. We all see them tearing women apart. And men. Tearing relationships apart. Right there at eye level, our children see them. Why?

There's a better way. There's a different reality. And its up to  us to create it. Its up to us to live it. Find the positive in life and put your attention there. It really works. Turn off your TV, or better yet get rid of it. If you do watch Television pay attention to what you're inviting into your house and mind. I know there are lots of great educational programs out there. Find music that uplifts you. Music that stimulates your mind. Throw on a little Michael Franti and dance around your living room. Look for the healthy examples in life and love. Eat better food. What we feed our bodies, feeds our minds. The healthier we eat, the healthier we are. Start small. Incorporate more fruit. Less food from boxes, more food from the ground. I read not too long ago that something happy people have in common was that they ate more fruit then unhappy people. Really. Now if only I could get my kids on this.
