The Election Doesn't Matter...

​Vote? Not vote? Blue? Red? Him? Her? Stop the madness! I'm going to fill you in on a little secret...IT DOESN'T MATTER. What?! You say, of course it matters! This is the most divided election we've had since 1860...we need to take a stand!

And I quietly, peacefully, calmly beg to differ. There is no stand to take. No wrong to right. No justice to be served. No point to be made.

There's only a "Call to Action" in the name of love (and YES it's appropriate for the song to begin now, and you're welcome!).

• Hug everyone you meet: You will bring immense joy to a hurting world. I will if you will. I dare you.
• Live fearlessly: There's no time or room for fear. Fear creates illness, period.
• Tolerate everyone's beliefs: You don't have to adopt them as your own, just practice tolerance. Practice like tomorrow is opening night at the Met.
•  Identify what you love: Truly love, not the cheeseburgers-for-lunch kind of love, and then express how you feel.
• Act on that love. Fully, completely, joyfully. As you move through every moment of every day. Say it, feel it, own it, believe it.

That's my "Call to Action" for you, today and each day, from now til the day you die. Love is why we are here on Earth, to experience the giving and receiving of it. That's the only reason, everything else is a distraction from that purpose. Stop being distracted.
Detach yourself emotionally from the outcome of this election, and from the outcome of everything else that is not your own personal decision.
And spend today, and every day,
Living in love.
