Universal Memory Bank…
Hi everyone! I know it’s been a while since I’ve written… I took the summer “off” to be with family and friends but summer is over and things are happening. Let me share a couple…
This fall, a wonderful private school in Tampa is implementing Matters of the Heart into their middle school curriculum. An amazing school in San Juan, Puerto Rico made Matters of the Heart required summer reading for their middle school girls and I will be visiting this school (and hopefully others as well) and Borders in San Juan in the beginning of October.
On another note, I want to share some other exciting news… Even though, as I’m sure you’ve noticed, newspapers often times depict what is wrong in the world, there are times when the news can be inspirational and create a stream of positive events. This past Sunday was one of those times…
As part of her bat mitzvah project, my daughter Leah took on an amazing program called “Give a Girl a Chance.” This program raises funds to help educate young women in Africa and offer them a way out of what often times are cruel and terribly depriving situations. Throughout a series of amazing events, Leah had the great opportunity and honor of being interviewed by a fabulous reporter from the Sun Sentinel. Although we thought the article would be “short” and published during the week-day, the article was actually very extensive and was published this past Sunday and on the front page of the local community section!!! It’s true that the article is great – it’s incredibly well written and it depicts Leah doing something wonderful for others. But what is truly phenomenal is the response this article has produced in just a few days. We have gotten emails, calls from “strangers,” orders online for the bracelets that Leah is selling to help raise funds, invitations to speak at local groups to help spread the word about “Give a Girl a Chance.” It’s all simply amazing but I’m not surprised. One positive action leads to another…
Imagine that our world, the universe for that matter, has a collective memory bank that stores all of your actions from the past, present and from the future. And what if these actions (whether positive or negative) had an impact on you and the well-bring of others – how would you conduct yourself? What actions would you be taking? You can take it a step further – what if your thoughts were also permanently recorded in this “universal memory bank” – what would your thoughts be? And as I presented in Thoughts Matter, your thoughts create your feelings and your feelings often times create your actions… What thoughts are you creating? How can you create more powerful thoughts, fueled with all that you want for yourself and for others? Let’s all commit ourselves to depositing empowering, life-affirming thoughts into our “Universal Memory Bank!”
And like we learned in “Our Choices Matter,” it’s all up to you…. As always….
Open Your Heart to What Really Matters ….
