talk title is:BE The Vibration Today's world—politically, socially, and economically divided as it is—spouts commentary 24/ 7/365, much of it expressing anger, frustration, bitterness, sarcasm, and bullying. It’s easy to repeat those memes, isn’t it? Judgment and anger are not wrong—they are a catalyst for change, expressing the desire for a new standard of living for ourselves and the world we want to create. To set into motion the new standard (such as justice, tolerance, prosperity, or equality) immediately get out of the anger after expressing it and stay out! Become the vibration of the new standard. Become justice, tolerance, prosperity and equality. All energy attracts like energy. BE what you desire in order to draw it to you and build upon it.
