It's probably a good day to remember that Love is bigger than politics. This beautiful ray of sunshine named Jonna was bringing her brightness to the Lakers game. Thank you Jonna for the perfectly timed photo, and for being awesome! Let's remember to look for the light in each other today.
Love is Love is Love is Love is LOVE

Special thanks to my awesome Co-Producer Tim Kobza, and to Brian Jones for the stellar mix!

Listen to Your Heart Series
I am having a wonderful birthday week and want to thank so many of you for your calls and notes! I feel very loved!! I'm excited to share a new series called 'Listen to Your Heart' that I'm doing at Inspire Spiritual Community (formerly Project: Service LA), starting June 4th and happening every first Thursday of the month. This is a deeply relaxing one hour experience with live music, meditation and a brief talk designed to boost your heart and give that busy mind a rest. Come sit, listen and meditate with me as I share songs, stories and lead you through a simple meditation.
We Are the Angels of This Earth
Today at Century City Mall I discovered something fantastic - huge, brightly colored angel wings suspended in the air! I was instantly uplifted and excited to see what in the world they were doing there. I had my photo taken with them, as did many others, and when I got home later I researched their creator: Colette Miller. I am so inspired by her Global Angel Wings project, something she created in 2012 to remind humanity that we are the angels of this earth. So awesome!!!
She began by simply seeing images of angel wings in her mind's eye, and has since installed these gorgeous wings in public places all over the world. People spontaneously take photos with them (like me), thus becoming part of the art. She creates them as a symbol of peace. I just love this project and her words: "The philosophies of nature and mankind are universal. Humanity craves beauty, love, acceptance, enlightenment and faith in the human race. We all desire it and can attain it if we believe in ourselves. Every soul in this universe is a star. Find your inner light. It's a lifelong quest that's actually worth it."
"We can be the Angels on this Earth. We NEED to be the Angels on Earth."
Thank you, Colette. You rock.

Have a wonderful week!
Sharing the Love - Random Acts of Kindness Week
It's lucky Friday the 13th and the weekend when we are officially supposed to be romantic! Are you ready? Well, I'm not necessarily a big Valentine's person but we all know I like to talk about love. I have a different kind of love story I want to share that I received this week from Paula in Charleston, SC. Many of you have shared your photos of wearing your Love Is The New Sexy™ shirts, spreading love and joy all across the country and world. I post them periodically on my public Facebook Page. Paula informed me that this is Random Acts of Kindness Week (February 9-15), and that she has been passionately promoting it in Charleston since 1993. Here are her inspiring words and photos:
"I remember you asking for us to share pics of us expressing love. Well, this just happens to be Random Acts of Kindness Week, with RAK Day on Feb 17th. You can check out the Foundation and get the history of this sweet grassroots idea that's now recognized. The site is also loaded with free ideas and resources. www.randomactsofkindness.org.
This pic is from yesterday. I began the day by buying a few dozen beautiful carnations. Then I tied little Random Acts of Kindness cards to them. Then I got in my car and went out to give them away. I believe in practicing kindness and love every day, but this week is such a beautiful and easy-to-practice reminder of how good it feels to receive and GIVE kindness. I think of you often and always send you light and love. Paula. "
How totally awesome is that? Thank you, Paula, for taking the time to share your story with us, and most of all for being being part of the movement of love, kindness and compassion in our world! I'm so happy to meet wonderful people like you! Who else has a fun story to share about wearing their shirt and being love?
