Show Notes:

Many of my fellow Americans need help learning how to live in love, instead of living in fear. We also need to learn how to treat people with common courtesy and respect. Learning how to live in love is important, and I want my audience to know that love and happiness are choices, they are not circumstances.

In today's episode, I go in-depth about how my fellow Americans can benefit from living in love instead of fear, and how we need to be treating people with common courtesy and respect. I discuss labor unions, the divide and conquer agenda, media manipulation, educating ourselves, and the importance of managing one’s emotions. I thought this was important to talk about in this episode because I feel that we need to remember to stay positive and optimistic regardless of how difficult the times are that we are currently living in.

I know that love is what we need to survive.
