Love note

Your thoughts, your words, your actions."

Live the smile
Laura Moliter, C.S.
"Life is just life and we can make it a constant battle, or we can just live it with love, expectancy and joy- we can live the smile or the frown. Let's choose to live the smile."

Trust JOY
"I TRUST ALL JOY."

Joy, Love and Appreciation
"Joy, love and appreciation are powerful motivators. They are all feelings that humans experience around the heart. Joy is a feeling of pleasure or delight that arises from the heart. Positive feelings are what make life worth living."
"Find Your Joy By Following Your Heart", by Deborah Rozman
Now is the time
"Now is the time approaching,
By prophets long foretold,
When all shall dwell together,
One shepherd and one fold.
Now Jew and Gentile, meeting
From many a distant shore,
Around one altar kneeling,
One common Lord adore.
Let all that now divides us
Remove and pass away,
Like shadows of the morning
Before the blaze of day.
Let all that now unites us
More sweet and lasting prove,
A closer bond of union,
In a blest land of love."
A sincere smile starts in the heart
Shannon Peck, author and spiritual healer said this in a radio interview on my radio show.
www.thelovecenter.com
"The smile starts in the heart way before it reaches the lips and mouth. It creats a revolution in the whole body and environment. When people come into our energy field, they feel that environment.
We need to bring a little focus to loving ourselves and others and then we won't be like a loose cannon, liable to react to anything. We are an energetic presence that others feel and its universally felt."
So, smile and choose joy as much as possible..our world depends on it!!!! Yes, I know it seems hard at times..and we all have different challenges daily...but, remember that there is a smile revolution going on and its up to all of us to contribute to it. It is contagious! It creates more beauty on the planet as well. It is an instant face lift! Mindy "Smile" Fradkin
Thanks Robert!
Thanks to the great poet, Robert Reidy for the inspired commentary in response to mine, "Be the sunshine".
That helped me and I am sure it will be a big help to others reading this blog.
Anyone who would like to add a comment to anything that is said here, please feel free. However, I will only post comments that I think are aligned with the intent of The Smile Revolution and an inspiration to others. Thanks for understanding.
In response to "Be the Sunshine" commentary
"Well, Mindy, I could not agree more with the concept of right thinking.
I know that most people think we can't control our thoughts and I would say you are right and you are wrong in that analysis. For it is true that thoughts or the interior voice is always running but we can develop the power of our observance, and that is the key to wisdom. When a negative or selfish thought enters and we are good at watching them then we own the power of choice of action. It is the thoughts that we act upon which determines the patterns of our attitudes and behaviour and spiritual growth. And once we get into the positive energy powerful, loving, selfless, happy thoughts and acting on them instead of the dark alternative, we then enter the wonderful habit of joy. The kingdom of heaven will rush into our being. And them we are literally co-creators with the source of all. People will say, its so great to see him or her when you enter a room, because you will fill the room with aliveness. To be alive is to radiate positive energy from the observer which
is the real you taking responsibility for right thinking which leads to right actions which leads to true happiness and you will ride the love vortex spiraling ever upward and the adventure of awakening begins. Written by the great poet, Robert M. Reidy
Be the sunshine
There is obviously something that we need to do differently in this troubled, yet beloved world of ours.
Is there something we can do right now to make a difference in the world?
There are many families who don't get along with each other and there is much animosity.
WHY?
Is there a way for all of us to see the good in each other and stop the mental violence that goes on. Criticizing and condemning others in our thinking is an act of violence even if we don't shoot someone.
It starts in our thinking.. How can we today think differently about others, close and far away?
No matter what, we need to show forth more love, more kindness, more joy, more compassion.
When are we going to realize that when we are smiling sincerely at others, we are bringing heaven to earth. I know that it always lifts me up and breaks the spell of negativity.
I am sorry that there is so much mental murder and murder with guns running rampant in the world. What we witnessed this week on the news at Virginia Tech is another sign that we need to wake up as a society. How many more wake up calls do we need? Wasn't 9/11 enough for us??? How much worse do things need to get..with the war in Iraq...Israel etc..
How loving can we be every day?
Violence doesn't solve anything. It only adds more hate. We don't need it to multiply. We need more heart smiles. Please help us NOW.
A Return to Love
"Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and the acceptance of love back into our hearts. Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life.
Meaning doesn't lie in THINGS. Meaning lies in us. When we attach value to things that aren't love- the money. the car, the house, the prestige- we are loving things that can't love us back. We are searching for meaning in the meaningless. Money, of itself, means nothing. Material things, of themselves, mean nothing. It's not that they're bad. It's that they're nothing."
Marianne Williamson
from her book "A Return to Love"

Does HATRED pay?
"There is immense wisdom in the old proverb,"He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty."
Hannah More said,"If I wished to punish my enemy, I should make him hate somebody."
Found in the book,
Miscellaneous Writings by
Mary Baker Eddy, written in the 19th century,in New England
Japanese Wisdom
"He who
Smiles
Rather
Than
Rages
Is always
The
Stronger."
Be of good cheer
"CHEERFULNESS
IS THE MOST POWERFUL
MANTRA."
Sri Swami Rama
Buddha said
"You cannot run out of smiles."
"We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world. Speak or act with an impure mind and trouble will follow you. As the wheel follows the ox that draws the cart...speak or act with a pure mind and happiness will follow you as your shadow, unshakeable."
What is Truth
This poem is written by Robert Reidy who resides in
Rosendale/Tillson, New York in
our beloved Ulster County, New York
You may ask
Poet, what is truth?
I will tell you
Truth is many things
And you may add to this list
Truth is the laughter of children
And delighting in the success of another,
Or holding hands to a color-filled sunset
Spreading your joys-getting over the toys
Uplifting everyone you encounter
Comforting the oppressed,
Lending a hand
Making a meal for someone else
having the time
beholding the mystery of not knowing
to look up and be amazed by the stars
winking back
to make love slowly
to communicate honestly and become more authentic
fall in love with yourself
and find your unique
capability, ability, talent or gift
and nurture it to fullness
for to know yourself is to love yourself
be ready to forgive, and forgive yourself
cultivate the art of not being offended
laugh at yourself
laugh at others
and enter its healing power
smile
be willing to give
from what you have become
gather together as family
and be fans of one another
build and develop friendships
be there for them
and delight in their uniqueness
sing and dance to their successes
exercise and be aware of your body
feel it and believe in your wellness
open to the beauty that surrounds you
and know that beauty to be love itself
saturating all there is
believe in humanities potential
be positive
be happy
be at peace
become
become love
become the love that you
already are.
And
Know this to be the Truth
Smile With Me
This song is written by Laura Moliter. She is an extraordinary woman and spiritual healer, who has been there for me and The Revolution since it began. Thanks, Laura, for all of your good work including this inspired song.
"Give me a little smile
And take my little smile
And we'll just smile awhile
So everyone can see.
I may not know your name
But our world is the same
With all the fear and pain
A smile can set us free.
Chorus:
Smile with me
Laugh with me
Love with me
Smile with me...
I need your healing smile
To get me through the miles
This journey lasts a while
A smile will ease the way.
And when you can't smile
Can't find that happy child
I'll be there with a smile
To brighten up your day.
Repeat chorus
Bridge:
A smile has power
An angel in our darkest hour
Come from a holy place, but easy as a breeze...
Give me a great big smile
And take my great big smile
And we'll just smile awhile
For all the world to see.
I'd like to know your name
Your smile can stop the rain
Make rainbows come again
Your smile can set us free.
Repeat chorus
