Are you just tired right now? It has been a really stressful past month or so. The negativity that comes in an election year is enough to make everyone stressed to the limit. Even though the election is over and there is a projected winner, that doesn’t mean the stress of the entire process is over. We will be hearing a lot about it for some time to come.

One thing you will not hear me do on here is speak political, but I will definitely speak to the mental health awareness that we all should have and how we can continue to live life graciously within all of the negativity that we are subjected to on a daily basis.

I have a very dear friend who shared some of her affirmations with me and they really resonated with who I want to be and how I can speak up each and every day. The two that I want to share with you are “may my heart remain open” and “may I be a source of healing to all beings.”

My heart is something I tend to guard pretty hard. Often times, it is hard to open up your heart if you have been hurt. But just imagine if we let our heart remain open – how we can use the love that is within to help others who are really struggling. We can help others often times without even knowing we have done so.

I really hope that LLG can be a source of healing to others. When I thought about beginning LLG – that is what I was thinking – that I could help someone in some way to understand that everything isn’t always rainbows and unicorns, but there is always the potential in everything that you do. If you are grateful for one thing – it turns into two things. If you are grateful for two things, it turns into four things.

Today, I challenge you to keep your heart open and to be a source of healing to others as we walk in the living life graciously path.
