While the last couple of weeks have no doubt been filled with a variety (READ: rollercoaster) of emotions, the one main thing that continues to bring me peace and hope is all of the SHARING that’s happening. Sharing of community, love, creativity and inspiration around the world.
I’m blessed to be surrounded by a wealth of creative and positive people doing big and small things all of the time. And thanks to FB, YouTube, IG, Zoom, HouseParty and the like, they are able to share their creations with the world. Today, yet again, I felt implored to write. But this time I write with fewer of my own thoughts, and more with those of others who have touched and had a calming and positive impact on me during this crazy time. This once in a lifetime.
Brittany Mazel is an up-and-coming superstar in the event world and an all-around bright light. I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know and work with this stunning young lady over the last couple of years, and yesterday she shared one of her latest creations. Check out this poignant video, that she wrote and produced all on her own (and likely in no time it all – this woman is AH – MAZING with the videos she makes). I urge you to watch, LISTEN and share this beautiful piece of art. Spread some light to anyone who seems to be getting lost in the dark.
Jordan Auten is an accomplished Director, Writer & Producer. She is also one of my best friends who I’ve know over half of my life. We grew up in Vegas together and booooyyy do we have some stories 😊 You’ll have to reach out to me directly for those! We are on a group text (one of many group texts I’m now on – I’m sure just like all of you) which has been rattled with statistics, warnings and “Not to scare you, but..”’s. It’s a LOT. I know everyone is just trying to keep us informed, but sometimes less is more.

Yesterday Jordan shared something that had been sent to her, a message from a Reverend from Agape. It resonated with her so she shared with US. It resonated with me so I’m sharing with YOU:
Although COVID-19 has brought up panic and fear amongst many people, that is not its purpose. This is an auspicious time where the entire world is not only shifting to a new paradigm, but we are being asked collectively to slow down and reflect on the deeper meaning of our unity with each other and all life. It is unavoidably evident that we are being shown how we are all connected via a physical virus. However, at this time it is equally as important to heal the virus of the mind. The clue to this is in the name: Corona. Corona refers to the crown chakra, Divine illumination as well as its infusion to the surface mind to the revelations of Truth. This is a correction to the individual and collective mind on a global level to heal all the disinformation, lies and fear. This worldwide disruption is asking us to stop business as usual by literally stopping to look at doing things differently. Different than before and different in the way we think. More love, compassion and generosity is what is rising. This time of isolation is paradoxically asking us to not isolate from each other in fear of contracting illness. it is to isolate and contemplate our sacred oneness with each other. This is an upleveling to rise into revelational thinking, inspired living. It is time to benevolently rise individually and collectively. The best vaccination you'll ever give yourself is the medication of meditation. It is in our inner pharmacy that we find the purest and most efficient healing and preventative medicine.
Again, I’m not a religious person. Though it is interesting how I turn to prayer in times like these. Right? I consider myself spiritual, not bound by any books or rules. I try to be the best version of myself and inspire others to do the same. If there’s anything this period of time has taught me, it’s how little control we have over things. Where we go, what we do, who we see, how we wash…none of that is up to our discretion at the moment. But the one thing we DO have control over…our MINDS. Our THOUGHTS. The things we’re choosing to consume and SHARE with a world that is hurting right now.
I encourage all of you to focus on the great ideas you’re coming up with, and DO them. Write that blog. Sing that song. Get that body. Share your heart. Let’s keep the vibrations UP, because why not? The choice is yours. Choose KINDLY. For yourself and others.
Peace & Love - MB
