LOVE, or L'amour

"What the world needs now, is love, sweet love."

I would be remiss, if I chose not to mention the anger filling our cities and streets, manifesting itself in the form of destruction, stealing, killing, fighting and then proudly posting it across the world, on social media.

Love isn't something you can put in a box, slap a fancy marketing sticker around, and sell on Amazon. It takes effort, intent, will, investment of time, planning and executing.

Love is an action. A deed. A sacrifice.

Here we are, Gotham. Spreading the LOVE.

All the SPEAK in the world, won't change things. It takes a "Doer"

Please tell me what act of LOVE you are going to commit today and let me know when its DONE.

Gotham is full of Doers.

 

What are you DOING today?

Setting up your lovely blog and loving it!

It is my practice to celebrate what my team refers to as Wealth Wednesday. We do a random act of kindness for a stranger. Typically, it is an anonymous donation, it can be a larger gratuity, paying for the coffee for someone behind me in line, a little something for a homeless person, etc - a simple act that hopefully sends a ripple effect into the world. Doing something with no expectation of any payback other than the satisfaction of knowing I might have positively impacted someone else is pretty cool. Love this blog!

Helped a fellow associate via WebEx with a project he was working on so it could be sent out today on time. Done. I did also groom and wash my dog a day ago. She seemed to appreciate it.

Nice sentiment Carly. Everyone needs kindness and hope these days.
I ran into an old friend today, during my walk, and noticed her obsession with the bird noises around us.
I told her about an article in the NYT about identifying bird noises, that are more abundant during the crisis, and sent it to her.

I have been helping our kids by reading a story to their kids ( our grandchildren) on FaceTime so they can get a much needed break as they juggle work and childcare... it helps a lot!

Wonderful question! No day is complete if I don’t contribute to someone. That could be a smile. Sending an inspiring word or an email of particular interest. Today I’m helping two stressed business owners stay afloat by reaching out to all who might help including a few Gothamites.
