"What the world needs now is Love sweet Love", is not just a beautiful song, but a call to action! 

Hearing or seeing the news on tv as we're stuck at home way more often, or hearing friends and people we love talk about the news; it is easy to forget that love is all around us. That means that everywhere you go there is Love. If you pay attention, you can see it, hear it, and even smell it. (Who doesn't feel love when they smell mom making their favorite cookies,?!) 

In this article I want to remind everyone that Love is everywhere, if you just look for it. I'm going to spotlight the most fun, romantic and thoughtful: songs & movies... and share some thoughts at the end. This article is your ‘One Love’ positive vibe, go-to!

I feel so excited on Valentine's Day when I see flowers, candy, balloons, and everyone is buying things for the people they love. But Love is not just for Valentine's Day. Everybody loves somebody or something. And everybody should feel love. You can Love your Valentine or even your parents, siblings or friends, all year long. Even your pets need love. 

Everybody needs a Love themed musical playlist! Here are my picks for the most romantic and thoughtful songs to cuddle up to, as well as a few gems that will encourage a sense of gratitude and compassion for each other.

Now, a Mindful Question: What have you done lately to make the world a better place? 

💝🤸‍♀️✌  It could be something small and powerful, like a smile or kind words that make someone's day better. Never forget that kindness is a superpower that we all have! This superpower has the ability to change someone's day, to replace sadness with hope. Also, Springtime is around the corner! Don't forget to stop and notice nature waking up and showing off beautiful and vibrant colors everywhere. Be aware of what words and pictures you are allowing into your life, everyday. Are they positive? Supportive? Nurturing? If not, make changes, you will notice the difference!


There you have it! Your call to action. Your Love everyday game plan... songs, movies, and mindful activities!

    Hello Ireland,

    Thanks for the reminder that love is all around us, even in smells. That made me smile.

    I loved The Notebook and so did my husband. He saw it on a plane and even found himself crying!

    May you enjoy the same good vibes that you spread to others.

Am I A Drummer With Autism Or Am I A Person With Autism Who Plays Drums? By Andres Ortiz, 02/2021 Photo courtesy of Andres Ortiz, Photography Class Project My name is Andres Ortiz and I have high functioning autism. I’ve been playing drums for about 16 years. Playing drums makes me feel energetic, happy and special both inside and out. Learning to play the drums has helped me in lots of ways.  Not only do I have a better appreciation of lots of kinds of music but my social skills have gotten a lot better because being in a band means that you have to understand other people.   Music has been my link to the neurotypical community.  When I’m behind the kit, no one knows that I am different. Music has helped my behavior, social and communication skills. It doesn't matter if I am playing or listening to music. Playing the drums makes me a better musician and a better person. When I first started jamming with people, I was worried about being accepted and being a good enough...

  Michael Jackson,His Music, His Magic By Melissa Connolly 02/2021 "A star can never die. It just turns into a smile and melts back into the cosmic music, the dance of life. ” Michael Jackson I became a true Michael Jackson fan when I saw the movie ’’Free Willy’’. At the very end of the movie Michael Jackson sings and dances to a very moving song entitled “There You Will Be.” I was so inspired by this song that I became a Michael Jackson fan for life. Depending on the song and it’s rhythm, It puts me in a certain mood. For example, the song “Beat It” makes me want to dance. Another song “I Can’t Stop Loving You’’ makes me feel very mellow and relaxed. I feel a peaceful and easy feeling. The song “Human Nature” brings joy and happiness to my life. At the moment, I am taking a Michael Jackson Art Therapy Class. Each week we create different and beautiful art projects such as collages, watercolor paintings and even something called a Dream Catcher. Our art teacher inspires us by dre...
