The attached video is a song Stevie Wonder wrote as a tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in celebration of his birthday simply title, Happy Birthday. Although it was originally written with Dr. King in mind, I thought it was also befitting to dedicated to those famous Pisces on the above list and all, you not so famous, Pisces celebrating birthday's this week as well.

Like Dr. King, Pisces are people who also strongly believe in the dream of seeing peace, harmony, justice, equality, unity and love throughout humanity and in our everyday lives. 

So Happy Birthday fellow Pisces! Now sit back, listen and enjoy this beautifully written song and equally beautiful video graphics; dedicated to you today from my heart to yours with Love.

A Time to Love



To everything there is a season,
a time for every purpose under the sun.
There's a time to face the challenges of adversities,
and a time to celebrate great
victory’s we have won.

There’s a time when countries go to war,
and a time for all wars to cease.
There's a time to let go...a time to let God,
a time to know when to surrender and release.
Yet, now is the time to start resolving
 our differences in a way that brings
 all humanity peace.

Although life as we have known is changing,
God’s will for us to have a good life is not yet done.
Just as nature regenerates itself after winter 
when spring comes,
the season of new beginnings for us
 has just begun.

We have gone through fire, water, 
snow storms and earthquakes
that caused the earth to tremble and shake.
Even a major reconstruction of our economic system,
 as a country we have had to face.
Yet, I am convinced that regardless of what may appear,
now is the time and this is the year
 to see God bring us out into a comfortable place.

Now is the time for us to come together,
with one vision…as one nation.
Divided no more by different race, creed or
 views of religion,
Let's come together as one...
For we are all God’s creation.

Every good and perfect gift comes
from our Father above…
And there’s no better time than now to
give one another His greatest gift of all
...the perfect gift of love.

I originally wrote this poem back in 2010 inspired by all the catastrophic events and major economic and societal changes that unfolded at the time causing much fear, anxiety, doubt and hopelessness here in the U.S and around the world. 

I thought February being the month of Love was a good time to share this revised shorter version with you. However, as an added bonus, that I also perceive as divine confirmation, I just discovered, that two of my favorite music artist collaborated on a song that reinforces the message of my poem. Stevie Wonder has an album with the same title as my poem, A Time to Love, and the single features the lovely and talented India Arie. 

After listening to this version with the lyrics also posted in the video I thought it was the perfect compliment to my poem and wanted to share it as part of my Inspirational Love Note for you today. That said, please enjoy the music video attached of this beautifully written and performed song by Stevie Wonder featuring India Arie, sharing the same title as my poem, A Time to Love.

And this weeks celebrity in the Love Light Spot Light, is the man who introduced Reggae music to the world, Loss Legend and celebrity Aquarius, Bob Marley.

Here are a few factoids you may not have known about Bob Marley:

He was born to interracial parents, his father was European - Jamaican of British heritage and his mother was African-Jamaican.

His birth name is Nesta Robert Marley and his first but  a Jamaican passport official mistakenly switched around his first and middle name to Robert Nesta Marley.

He was born February 6, 1945 on his maternal grandfather's farm in Nine Mile, Saint Ann Parish, Jamaican. And later, after marrying his wife Rita Anderson in 1966, he moved to the United States for a short while in Wilmington, Delaware to be near his mother who had moved there earlier. 

While living in Wilmington, Delaware he worked for DuPont as a lab assistant and on the assembly line at Chrysler under the alias name, Donald Marley. 

He was raised a Catholic by his mom and converted to Rastafari in the 60's after moving away from his mother's influence in Wilmington, Delaware back to his homeland Jamaica.  

Bob Marley, his wife Rita and his manager Don Taylor suffered gunshot wounds from an assassination attempt on his life on December 3, 1976 and he still showed up to perform for the concert he was preparing for two days later called, Smile Jamaica, organized by the Prime Minister of Jamaica at the time, Michael Manley. 

At the end of 1976 Bob Marley left Jamaica and lived in England for 2 years in self-imposed exile. 

Although Marley was a devout Rastafari for several years, on November 4, 1980 shortly before his death, he was baptised into Christianity by Archbishop Abuna Yeseshaq of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church in Kingston Jamaica. 

He was awarded the Peace Medal of the Third World from the United Nations in 1978.

In February 1981, just a few months before his death, he was awarded Jamaica's third highest honor, the Jamaican Order of Merit making his official name and title Nesta Robert Marley OM. 

Bob Marley died on May 11, 1981 in Miami after a long battle with a form of cancer called melanoma that had spread throughout his body including his lungs and brain which was the cause of his death. 

Long after his death he continued to receive accolades and awards for his legendary contributions to music which included a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in February 2001. 

In 2004 he was ranked number 11 on Rolling Stones list of 100 Greatest Artist of All Time.

Bob Marley...a loss legend who's memory will always be honored and his music will always be an Inspirational Love Note  to the hearts and minds of generations still yet to come. 
In closing, enjoy this video to one of his most popular songs to date, One Love,  that was named song of the millennium by the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) and a perfect song with a perfect message to also honor both Black History Month and Valentines Day today. 



Until Next time...I surround you in Love & light! So remember to keep your heart open and your love light shining bright.

Ten Ways to Love


My Inspirational Love Note message for you today is the attached list of ten ways to love that include scriptures from the bible that align with and support each point and suggestion. Review each one carefully. Then share it....save it....study the scriptures given with it...and above all else begin to put into practice the wisdom of each profound message on this list.

Begin to consciously make an effort to adopt this string of wisdom pearls into your attitude and behavior in your most intimate and important relationships. As you do you are guaranteed to see your love begin to grow and thrive not just barely survive. 

Why do I feel this list is so full proof? It is because of two things I have tried and seen proven true. That is, as with any plan or idea, it only works if you work it...i.e. put it into consistent practice with patience and stay with it long enough to see results begin to manifest. Secondly, and most importantly, I believe as holy scripture tell us and have seen many times for my self in my own life experiences that Love never fails. 

People fail when they choose to give up on love but love never gives up on you because love is God and God is the one constant in this ever changing world. And here are ten ways to do your love test, draw your own love conclusion, and receive your own proof of all the aforementioned about love being true. 





Until next time...I surround you in Love & light! So always keep your heart open and your love light shining bright.
