Tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. - Happy Birthday - Stevie Wonder

There was a time when this wondrous human being walked this earth. He was a great inspiration for so many. He still remains an inspiration. 

Dr. King still lives, he lives in the hearts of many and he can continue to inspire us to do our part to make this world better for all. 

Let us keep shining the light of the many words and messages that Martin Luther King Jr. left for us...a beautiful soul who walked this earth for a short time, but what a powerful life it was. 

Bless you Dr. King

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly." 

—"Letter from Birmingham Jail," April 16, 1963

"Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope."

—"Letter from Birmingham Jail," April 16, 1963

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that." 

—Strength to Love, 1963

"I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant." 

—Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, Oslo, Norway, 1964

“The time is always right to do what is right.” 

—Oberlin College commencement speech, 1965

“Be a bush if you can't be a tree. If you can't be a highway, just be a trail. If you can't be a sun, be a star. For it isn't by size that you win or fail. Be the best of whatever you are.” 

—Speech before a group of students at Barratt Junior High School in Philadelphia, October 26, 1967

Love Train feat. Jason Mraz, Chad Smith, Yo-Yo Ma | Turnaround Arts | Pl...2022 Let's Begin Anew!!!

This has got to be one of the best songs, "Love Train" by the O´Jays, that came out, of the 70´s Disco Era, and there are sooooo many!!! This one touches the heart, because, it is a message, that we REALLY need to hear today!!!  LOUD AND CLEAR!!!

This version, I happened to find, while looking for a song of inspiration to share with everyone, "all around the world," to begin the New Year, with hope and inspiration. And, this one is great! I love it! You want to sing and dance and "jump on the LOVE TRAIN."

SO LET´S DO IT...LET´S JUMP ON!!! Let's ride that love train all over the world. The amazing thing is, that one can ride this special train , no matter where you are. In your kitchen, in you living room, at work, walking down the street, in your car, waiting for a bus...for this train you see, is a "state of mind, a state of heart."

It is rather quite simple, you connect to yourself, deep within. your own heart, and then you shine, that light out, to ALL OF THE WORLD. They will feel it. It doesn't matter where, China, Africa, Palestine, Europe, South America, Central America, Mexico, down Australia way...ALL OVER THE WORLD!!! SHINE THAT LOVE LIGHT FROM YOUR HEART!

We can no longer afford to be a divided world. We can no longer afford the price of war and anger, guns and violence, greed and hatred. NO SIDES...JUST ONE WORLD! 

No walls, no fear, just love. Let the virus go...it is controlling the minds of the world. I feel, because it hit, the Western World so hard, that, it finally felt, what others have been living through, for far too long. We fear a virus, when others, have been living through, extreme hunger, poverty, war, devastation, no shelter, no home, I mean, come on. We really, need to wake up. 

"Wake up, get on board, and ride that love train...PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD"!!!

SENDING YOU GREAT PEACE AND LOVE FROM MY HEART,

Maria Joan Juarez Hidalgo Beam (Boheme)
