I'm currently in New York City and enjoying not only the unseasonably cool weather, but the almost overwhelming amount of things to do, see, taste, and experience on every imaginable level!  As those of you who have been here are quite aware, they could almost charge just for the people watching alone!  A cacophony of eclectic, well dressed, rich, poor, artistic, lost and found SOULS all trying to make their way through this thing called life.  Most in survival mode, others have the scent of a well worn life as they quickly pass you by.  

As Frank Sinatra said, “If I can make it in New York, I can make it anywhere.”  

But as soon as I walked back to my hotel and turned on the TV, images on almost every channel filled the screen of the tragedy in Orlando just a few short days ago.  One channel paid tribute by showing all 50 victims one by one, as an homage to their shortened lives and missed opportunities.  Not to mention all the loved ones they have left behind to mourn their loss and begin the slow process of healing and hopefully forgiveness.  

As I stared at each picture of the victims, tears filled my eyes.  I began to think of the great loss so many have suffered from such a senseless act.  And then something struck me quite deeply from Spirit.  It stemmed from the look in the eyes of those Spirits who have now transitioned back into the BLISS of LOVE.  There was a similar sense of PURPOSE in their glare.  They each came here for a reason, and although their Hero's/Heroine's Journey's may have been tragically cut short, I do not believe they died in vain.  The message that shined from these precious SOULS was clear to me.  And shook me to the CORE.  Our time here is precious.  And there is not one of us who knows how much of it we have left to fulfill our purpose.  

Our society has become so enraptured with distractions that keep us from our True Callings.  Social media, drugs, alcohol, chasing a false sense of notoriety.  All things that can block us from spending the time and energy on the ONLY THING THAT WILL TRULY FULFILL YOUR DESIRES.  Committing to your PURPOSE and following the Hero's/Heroine's Journey you came here to fulfill.  There is NO THING that can or will EVER compare to having the courage and making the daily commitment to share your gifts with the world.   Trust me!  I danced around my own calling for years.  And while I have no regrets, because all the confusion, pain, and suffering I now use as a Wounded Healer.  BUT, now that I have made that commitment, LIFE IS AMAZING!   And the magic of synchronicity surrounds me!  And I have a sense of serenity and peace like I have never experienced before.  I completely broke down, and then broke OPEN.  And when that transformation occurs, the only thing left to give is  unrelenting and unconditional LOVE.  Because nothing else matters. Ever!

If there is at least one thing we can learn from this horrifying incident in Orlando, it is the Re-membrance that the only way to combat Hate is with LOVE.  And the most powerful manner to do so, is through the following SOULution;  commit to your calling, your purpose, and then follow the ‘Yellow Brick Road’ that will unfold before you.  Look for the signs, they will form all around you!  I promise!  Just as Ernest Yeboah so wisely stated, “So many people live their lives not knowing the real and exact reasons why they live.  When you live life with a blurry vision, you live a blurry life.  Vision is life, and a life without vision is a dead life.”

If you truly would like to honor the memory of the victims in Orlando, commit to doing what they no longer can.    I choose to see this as a wake up call for us all to FINALLY stop chasing false idols, and being addicted to quick hits of happiness through materialism or any other forms of distraction.   How many more events such as this do we need to bare witness to before we BECOME THE CHANGE we wish to see.  WE ARE THE HEROES WE ARE ALL WAITING FOR!!  The world needs us to become Bringers of the Light, Wounded Healers, and share the gifts of acceptance, gratitude, and LOVE now more than ever!
