Scarlett found out after the tragedy that Jesse used his final moments to heroically save nine of his friends. He is on the shortlist for the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award for his final act of bravery.<\/p>\n<p>Jesse left a message on their kitchen chalkboard, \u201cNorturting Helinn Love\u201d (Nurturing, Healing Love). When Scarlett learned that these words are included in the definition of \u201ccompassion\u201d across all cultures, she realized that love, connection and belonging are universal wants and needs that connect all of humanity.<\/p>\n<p>These 3 words led to the creation of our Formula for Choosing Love, which can be used by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world, to manage their response to any situation (Courage + Gratitude + Forgiveness + Compassion in Action = Choosing Love). Inspired expert educators joined together and created a social and emotional education program that incorporates the latest advances in neuroscience, mindfulness, emotional intelligence and positive psychology to provide children the essential life skills that will not only help them succeed but also reduce the likelihood that they will harm one another.<\/p>\n<p>We all have the courage that Jesse showed in his final moments &#8211;the courage to be kind, to do what is right, and to tell the truth. We all have the courage to be grateful, even when things aren\u2019t going our way; the courage to forgive, even when the person who hurt us isn\u2019t sorry; and the courage to step outside our own pain and help others. We all have the courage to Choose Love!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Virtual Day of Inspiration, Entertainment and FUN in honor of Jesse Lewis\u2019 Birthday!
