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. 




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

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.
