As we gather together on this symbolic day, we acknowledge and celebrate our universal humanity while sharing the song of our common heartbeat. This is a profound and spectacular moment to be alive as both participant and witness to an amazing transformation and return to love on our precious planet.
The vastness of our world is rapidly becoming more intimate and we are quickly realizing the complexity of life can only be resolved through the simplicity of love. This love does not depend on words as it is readily felt from heart to heart. It is experienced in the forgiveness and compassion we offer to others and the self acceptance we give ourselves. Respect, honor and dignity are the immediate and lasting impression while the ultimate expression is in the smallest gestures of kindness that change the destiny for so many.
We are the weavers of this love and are also intricately woven into the very fabric of life itself. Our magnificent earth is a living example of this innate and natural love and it is our great fortune to be the stewards and examples of unconditional love towards all living things. Coming together like a grand tapestry, our diverse interconnectedness and interdependence is the very thing that unites us as one.
We all share a common, universal bond of amazing potential through love and each of us makes a profound difference just by being who we are. The ideas we entertain in our consciousness today are the seeds of a future yet to be made. And when love is the key component of each thought and feeling, a truly beautiful world is born.
This time is not without extraordinary challenges as we move forward, yet love endures the most difficult circumstances and still remains as love. There is great strength in intimacy, incredible opportunity with courage, and, as we lead by the example of love, we walk together with all.

Love begins with me this day as I accept and forgive the mistakes of the past. Only when I seek this resolve within can I know how to accept and love those around me. We leave our mark upon this wondrous journey not through our possessions, rather through our integrity and dignity, wisdom and understanding. When we honor our path, we honor those around us and life responds in joy.
Let us dance to a new song this day and let history record this moment as a new dawn of love upon the planet. This is the moment we set aside our fear and begin sharing love. Simply be love this day and every day.
Love, light and peace,

Welcome to the First Annual Global Love Day.
As we gather in our hearts in every nation and in every land, we come together as a beautiful reflection of love. This day is a symbol that love unites us all.
Today, we join hands and hearts as we begin to listen to the rhythm of life and the song of love. We turn our attention to the love within and watch as it quietly restores balance and presents the solutions to the problems we seem to face.
We honor this day as we acknowledge we are one humanity upon this planet. We realize once again we are interconnected and interdependent and that we all share in the Universal bond of love. We remind ourselves love must begin with self acceptance and forgiveness and that when we share our tolerance and compassion we embrace diversity. On this day and every day we make a difference through love.
We dwell in the present moment, accept our past and let our future unfold. We gaze upon each other and see ourselves. We open our hearts and allow love to flow. We look around and see beauty instead of shame, wisdom instead of ignorance, grace where there once was fear. We set aside our differences and accept our oneness. On this day and every day we make a difference through love.
Now is the time for us to heal, to forgive and to love. It is our moment to recall we are all in it together and there is no real separation between us. We all laugh, we all cry and we all love. Our thoughts, feelings, words and actions are felt by everyone. Our real strength and power is when we come from unconditional love. This may be the first Global Love Day, yet in our hearts we can live this way every day.
Perhaps we begin a new day upon this wondrous planet, a day that history will record as the return of love… the day we remembered each other as a global family.
