A Commitment for a life filled with growth \u2013 that is the path that has worked for me.<\/p>\n<p>What happens next?\u00a0 Well sometimes you do not know or might be completely surprised by your next step, what you are guided to do or create.<\/p>\n<p>That is what happened to me.\u00a0 I was guided to write a song.\u00a0 Not just the words but to also create the tune and seek out a musical professional to help me with a rough recording of that song.\u00a0 At the time, I was a busy, stay at home mom of 3 amazing children.\u00a0 I was volunteering in their different schools, working to keep our house running smoothly with no intention of creating and recording a song.\u00a0 There was one more thing that I was doing \u2013 working on my emotional past, working to release some trauma from my childhood. (my father was killed in Vietnam, 3 days after my 5<sup>th<\/sup> birthday) What I discovered is that when you do the work, you heal, you grow, you let go and then you create!\u00a0 It may not happen in the same way for everyone \u2013 but a shift is in your life is probable.\u00a0 By working on my own emotional past, I was able to become a truly clear and open channel for these words, this song to present itself as it did.\u00a0 The words \u201ccame\u201d to me at 1 am \u2013 after an emotional release workshop.\u00a0 Two weeks later I was creating the tune on a keyboard.\u00a0 Fast forward 2 MORE YEARS to the completion of the recording that you hear in the video.\u00a0 The song has been sitting out on YouTube for 8 years.\u00a0 Every now and then I work to get it \u201cheard\u201d by someone that can share it, get it out to the world.\u00a0 (radio station, giving it to a singer at a concert)<\/p>\n<p>A message that dropped in for me as I was writing this note \u2013 is that the Choose Love formula does really present itself in all areas of our life and daily.\u00a0 When doing our personal work, it takes Courage to start, Forgiveness is needed as we move through the work because quite often early trauma starts with family members.\u00a0 It is hard to move forward without Forgiveness.\u00a0 I was always grateful everyday for the guidance that we received in those workshops \u2013 Gratitude is transformational!\u00a0 Compassion in Action was always present as we were there for others working through their own traumas.\u00a0 Holding a hand or sharing a hug is truly Compassion in Action.\u00a0 Take a breath, and find the Choose Love formula in your daily life.<\/p>\n<p>I am grateful that I was guided to share this song with Scarlett. I did so to share the message of it and just in case she might have connections to share it more globally. It turns out \u2013 YOU are all her connections.\u00a0 The message can be felt by all \u2013 the words can resonate with anyone.\u00a0 If the song speaks to you \u2013 I hope it offers some healing and remember:<\/p>\n<p>You are whole never broken, shine so bright for all to see&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Dee Dee Thurber,\u00a0Choose Love Massachusetts Ambassador<br \/>\nEmail:\u00a0deedee@jesselewischooselove.org<\/p>\n<p>PS If anyone knows a singer looking to record a soulful song, this one is available! There is more to the story about where the song came from -which a singer may be truly amazed at \u2013 but I can share that another time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dee Dee Thurber, our Choose Love Ambassador for the state of Massachusetts, shares this song she wrote years ago titled: &#8220;Everybody Needs Healing.&#8221;
