Love bears fruit and hatred bears fruit. 

Love will keep your heart safe, your motives pure.
Hatred only breeds more hatred. Bearing fruits of pain and fear. We cant fight hatred with more hatred. 
It can seem an-impossible situation where war and terror attack with no given warning, but we do have a responsibility. 
We have a responsibility to not to become just like those who cause such harm.
We have a responsibility to not respond with hatred.
We have a responsibility to show our children how to react to such sorrow.
How will the world change if we just keep fighting out against those who hurt us?
Our responsibility is to keep our hearts soft and believe in the power that love can bring.
To keep peace in our hearts, to focus on the good, to forgive, to help those who have been grieved. 
If we don't, then the hatred grows, the worlds lights of love will go out one by one. Slowly the world will fill with darkness, hopelessness and fear. 
Be the change. 
For our children, for those that follow us, the future generations. Lets teach them love. ~ Rebekah

"For those of us who wish to help bring greater peace to the world it’s important to stay balanced, mindful, calm and grounded. Especially in chaotic times like this, we need to make our own inner peace a top priority…"

“Life is about taking what's given to us and creating something wonderful.”
― Belinda Jeffrey, One Long Thread

The question before us now -- as seekers, as global citizens, as lovers of the world -- is not just what do we need to do, but who do we need to be in order to do it? We have before us a challenge that only the most evolved civilization can meet effectively, calling each of us to fast, to meditate, to pray, to do whatever it is we need to do to ready ourselves, to purify ourselves, and surrender ourselves for the task at hand. Each of us will be assigned our part, how we ourselves can help uplift the energy and prepare the ground, heal broken hearts and work the miracles that will bring down the Light that disperses darkness. And darkness, in time, will be no more. ~Marianne Williamson

“Let today be a day where you take nothing for granted. For life is fleeting, fragile and precious and can change on a whim. Say all the things you really want to say to your loved ones today, say the things you would regret should they pass on and your words remain unspoken. Rejoice, for you and they are alive today – and should you or them pass on to unknown shores, rejoice even more for you have a wonderful love story to tell.”
