What are you reflecting back to others? Anger, hatred and revenge? Or nurturing healing love. They have vastly different outcomes: one chaos & destruction, the other peace and joy. Which do you choose? Please join me in Choosing Love. ⁦The Choose Love Movement⁩ ⁦Choose Love New Hampshire⁩

“Have a Lot of fun!” ⁦The Choose Love Movement⁩ ⁦Choose Love New Hampshire⁩

Event in Southbury Connecticut on 4/28 - we will have a booth! Hope to see everyone there for a lot of fun!

What a gift to be able to share what I’ve learned from the Sandy Hook tragedy. In fact, I believe that’s our purpose-to share what we’ve learned from our experiences to help others. It’s called vicarious post traumatic growth and it’s powerful. Choose Love. ⁦The Choose Love Movement⁩

“I have zero help for my mental problems and it’s causing me to shoot up the ... school,” wrote Ethan Crumbly, 14, before the tragedy at Oxford High School. “I want help but my parents don’t listen to me so I can’t get any help.” Kids are crying out for help, are we listening?

A reminder to take a pause today and “Have a Lot of fun.” ⁦The Choose Love Movement⁩ ⁦Choose Love New Hampshire⁩

What we’re doing isn’t working. It’s not enough to wait for mental illness to emerge & treat the symptoms, there aren’t even enough professionals!? We must proactively reduce and prevent the pain that leads to the suffering in the first place. Choose Love. ⁦The Choose Love Movement⁩

Our solution makes common sense but it is not what most people are doing now. That’s why societal issues are increasing. CHOOSE LOVE. ⁦The Choose Love Movement⁩

The two most important things we do every day: Choose Love as a thoughtful response and, “Have a Lot of fun!” ⁦The Choose Love Movement⁩ ⁦Choose Love New Hampshire⁩

Phones are rewiring our kid’s brains & causing mental illness. This is a fact, but we’re not getting rid of our phones for safety reasons. Agree w/delaying use however educating them about the hazards. Teach them on how to make good choices, joy of nature & healthy relationships!

‘Love is our only hope.Love acts like Gandhi, our pets,Jesus,Mr. Bean,Mr. Rogers&Bette Midler. Love just won’t be pinned down. Love is Florence Nightingale&Coyote Trickster, who messes w/…us about how we might possibly, grudgingly, awaken to the glory of life.”

Even though he wants to play catch with every cell in his body, he refuses to drop his toy! This reminds me of how we hold onto pain in life. You know the saying, ‘pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.’ This is so true &possible when we Choose Love. ⁦The Choose Love Movement⁩

The ROI (return on investment) of interventions to protect adolescent mental health is $24 for every $1 invested (RTI Intl.). For adults it’s $4 to $1. So not only does it improve the quality of lives, it’s a money maker. This is our best investment since it’s our future…

A heartwarming story to start your day.

Shoutout to our Choose Love ambassador Colleen MacIntyre and her wonderful student Jake!

Jesse’s first day of kindergarten at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Excitement, joy and wonder. Not for everyone. We must see those in pain and address their needs or they might take their pain out on you in the future. We can do better. Choose Love. ⁦The Choose Love Movement⁩

Everyone you know is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind and Choose Love. It’s the nurturing and healing response. ⁦The Choose Love Movement⁩ ⁦Choose Love New Hampshire⁩

Micro-moments of Joy are all around us. All it takes is to be present and look for them. Our brains would have us focusing on the negative and looking to be offended. Choose Love for a happier life. ⁦The Choose Love Movement⁩ ⁦Choose Love New Hampshire⁩
