Good Morning! Today will be an active accomplished day while staying relaxed and silent as much as possible listening, while acting mindfully.

Blessing must arise from within your own mind. It is not something that comes from outside. When the positive qualities of your mind increase and the negativities decrease, that is what blessing means. The Tibetan word for blessing … means transforming into magnificent potential. Therefore, blessing refers to the development of virtuous qualities you did not previously have and the improvement of those good qualities you have already developed. ― Dalai Lama XIV

There is good in everything...
Seek goodness everywhere, and when it is found, bring it out of its hiding place and let it be free and unashamed.

Civil Rights Heros?
Oprah Compares Florida Shooting Survivors To Civil Rights Activists
“It’s a proud moment; it’s an evolving moment for our country,” she said.
Ajike Williams·
😢😢😢😢😢I am writing this story after hearing and reading so many stories that these traumatized students of the Stoneman Douglas High School Parkland, Florida, event were all crisis actors, I will tell this young articulate students surreal nightmare and survival story. Aaliyah Eastmond, is 16 years old and a Junior was in Holocaust studies when the shooting happened. The shooter was shooting in the hallway, Aaliyah called her mom and apologized for everything she had said or done to her mom, her mother called emergency about the shooting and then called her father to tell him about the shooting at the school. Aaliyah’s classmate before she got shot and died told her to take her book hold it up to protect herself, apparently that didn’t work for classmate Ramsey, she is now deceased, Aaliyah crawled under her classmates’ Nicholas’ dead body and she played dead, she said had she not done that she would not be alive today. The trauma had not ended, later the SWAT TEAM arrived to rescue the students as they were escorted into the Hall dead bodies with the blood of life was flowing everywhere, Aaliyah said this was like a dream and unreal to her, she presently is having flashbacks, cries and all the emotional trauma that occurs after these horrific events. Aaliyah’s desire is for the adults to join the youth, stand with them to help them get Legislation for Gun Control, safe schools for student safety, l agree on both issue I stand with our youth who are constructively engaging in this conversation. Aaliyah mother, Stacy Ann Llewellyn the mother of Aaliyah is accompanied by her attorney. Support the young people who have been fighting for years about gun violence. Aaliyah did not know the shooter or had any memory of ever seeing him around the campus.😢😢😢😢😢😢Monday, February 26, 2018
LOVE GABBY, HER MIDDLE NAME MUST BE...
LOVE GABBY, HER MIDDLE NAME MUST BE HOPE -
Ra-
Speaking is still physically difficult for me, but my feelings are clear: I am furious.
Ra-
Speaking is still physically difficult for me, but my feelings are clear: I am furious.
We have watched, time and time again, as people describe these mass shootings as unimaginable and unpreventable acts of evil.
But we all know that is not true.
We have seen them before, and we will see them again. And what angers me most is that Congress knows how to solve this problem.
Bernie Sanders has fought to reduce the epidemic levels of gun violence in this country. And at the end of the day, both of us know that the root of this issue lies in the outrageous amounts of money the corporate gun lobby spends buying candidates and elected officials.
So if we want to change the equation, that means Congress must realize they have more to fear from all of us standing together and acting than they do from the gun lobby's money.
That starts with all of us making our voices heard. So today I am asking you to do something important, Ron, I am asking you to take my pledge.
Sign my pledge: "I promise that I will Vote Courage in November and support candidates who will stand up to the gun lobby and take action to make our communities safer from gun violence."
SIGN GABBY'S PLEDGE
For decades now, the gun lobby has used its power and influence to instill fear into the hearts of legislators in Congress and state capitals across our country.
But that fear is nothing like what those students fleeing Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School must have felt as they ran out of the building with their hands in the air as officers ran toward them with their guns drawn.
That fear is nothing like what the children and teachers must have felt at Sandy Hook Elementary School, or the club goers felt in Orlando, or the holiday party attendees felt in San Bernardino as shots rang out all around them.
What those legislators who vote to put the profits of manufacturers ahead of the safety of our communities really feel is cowardice.
They look at the most benign and practical solutions offered by moderates from each party and then they look over their shoulder at the powerful, shadowy gun lobby and choose to do nothing.
This November, we are going to vote them out. But it will only happen if we stand together. And that starts with making your voice heard.
Join me and Senator Bernie Sanders. Pledge to Vote Courage in 2018:
We do not have to accept these horrific acts of violence as routine, and we must never stop demanding that our leaders not only acknowledge this devastating problem, but take long overdue action to keep our children safe.
If Congress won't act, the American voters must.
All my best,
Gabby Giffords
BE A HOPE GIVER! This country in particular needs hope now!
The future belongs to those who give the next generation reason for hope.
