It's Time for a Love Revolution! Are You Ready?

I am so proud of us, our city, and the work that is happening in our community to change the world. This past Saturday almost 1,000 of our brothers and sisters in GR gathered in Rosa Parks Circle for the #AmINext rally. And what made this so special was that it was organized by four 16 year olds. At sixteen they are standing up for injustice, hatred, racism, oppression and hope for a better future. Each young person spoke from their hearts even though their voices were shaking, they spoke up and out!

I sat with my own 15 year old daughter Grace in awe of the power of young people to create change. I believe Grace too was moved, inspired, and hopeful for her future as a young person in our world. And that made my heart mom-happy. All my parents out there know that is crucial for our kids.

So many adults ask me almost on a daily basis, "What can I do?" That is what EmbodyGR is all about- taking care of ourselves, healing, educating, transforming, & finding happiness in daily life, so we are inspired to take action to make the world better! All humans desire to feel better & all humans within them have the need to do good (whether they realize it or not). We can practice yoga & meditation. We work for peace & happiness. We can volunteer & serve. We can attend rallies. We can organize. We can use our voices. We can vote mindfully. We can show kindness to all people. We can acknowledge our shared humanity. We can spread the message of hope, courage and a revolution of love through our daily practices & actions. At EmbodyGR that is our work.. "feel better, do good."

Taking action can be hard and making it a part of our life can be exhausting and at times overwhelming. That is why we gather each week at EmbodyGR. That is why we  surround ourselves with people who care, support us, and work for change. That is why this week at EmbodyGR we will work to move the needle on love as a revolution! Please bring an image (photo, piece of art, poem, jewelry, statute, etc) that is a symbol of love, hope and inspiration for change to you! We will be practicing yoga & meditation, singing, breathing, sweating and uplifting ourselves and our world while being surrounded by our personal images of love, courage, and hope of a better future for ALL. Let us immerse all our senses in positivity we can use as fuel for our daily lives. Together we can do this!

Please bring the friend we all have that says they want to make a difference in the world and they just don't know how. Give them the gift of our community.

See you Wednesday!

Yours in revolutionary love,
Dana

"You say you want a revolution, well you know...
We all want to change the world.
You tell me that it's evolution, well, you know...
We all want to change the world.
But when you talk about destruction,
don't you know you can count me out. 
Don't you know it's gonna be alright."

~The Beatles
