How have we failed school shooters and what can we do to prevent the next school shooting? Scarlett's guest is Dr. Heather Holmes, a forensic psychologist, who conducts psychological evaluations for state and federal courts. Dr. Holmes worked on Nikolas Cruz' case (The Parkland Shooter) and she evaluated Cruz to provide insight into his mental health, behavior, and background. Cruz murdered fourteen students and three educators on that high school campus on February 14, 2018.  They discuss the question ‘how did we fail you?' to see how we can prevent further school shootings and protect our children.  Learn more About Scarlett here: https://chooselovemovement.org/

In this episode, we gather to reflect on a beautiful and profound quote that would resonate with the very core of your being, and also help you to dive deep into the essence of love, truth, and personal empowerment.The quote is attributed to Rabindranath Tagore, the first non-European to win the Nobel Peace Prize in Literature.Now, Let's open our hearts and minds to these words: “Beloved, today we speak right to the energy of Love, because the hour is ripe, and the invitation is clear.Love is not an emotion. It is not a sentiment. It is not a fragile flower to be protected from the winds of life.Love is the raw, roaring truth of your being. It is the original frequency of your soul before time carved your name into form.To choose love is to choose reality. Not the illusion of safety, not the performance of light, but the presence of wholeness that says, I am here. Fully. Now.You do not choose love because it is easy. You choose love because it is you. The world may rage. The collective may swirl in fear, confusion, and noise. But the Master does not answer chaos with more chaos.The Master remembers. You radiate clarity. You live in peace.Every time you choose love, you collapse timelines of pain. You rewrite the laws of cause and effect. You pull back every projection and stand in the mirror of your own divinity. And in that still, unwavering gaze, you remember the most sacred truth of all: Love was never out there. It was always the fire within, waiting for your permission to rise.”What a powerful message! Three key lessons that arise from this quote: Lesson 1: Love is an inner truth, not an external emotion. Lesson 2: Choosing love is a radical act of courage. Lesson 3: Love rewrites reality. Every time you choose love, you collapse timelines of pain and rewrite the laws of cause and effect. This teaches you that your choices have profound impacts, shaping your life and the collective consciousness. By radiating love, you bring clarity and peace to yourself and the world around you.Let's carry this energy of love into our lives and share that radiance with the world. Remember to stay rooted in love and truth.Please subscribe, share with friends and family. We appreciate your notes and comments.

Trauma is a Universal Part of the Human Experience Scarlett Lewis and her mom, Maureen, are back at the Blue Colony Diner in Newtown, CT discussing forgiveness. Trauma is a universal part of the human experience, and helping kids develop the emotional intelligence to face their pain with curiosity rather than shame or avoidance could be life-changing. When children (and adults) learn to explore their pain, they can transform it into self-awareness, resilience, and even compassion for others. Forgiveness makes you stronger because when you forgive you take your power back!  Learn more About Scarlett here: https://chooselovemovement.org/

This conversation dives deep into: The spiritual encounter Azim had just hours after his son's death Why he chose forgiveness over vengeance—and how it healed him How he now partners with the grandfather of his son's killer to save other children The power of compassion in action to end cycles of violence Azim's story will shake you, then awaken you. This is forgiveness not as a soft virtue—but as a radical, world-changing force. You don't want to miss this. It's not just about tragedy—it's about transformation.

News for the Heart talks with Tom Campbell on Choosing Love Instead of BEing Right.The insightful conversation with Tom Campbell on "Choosing Love Instead of Being Right," couldn't be more relevant in our current global landscape. It's a powerful reflection on how the very tools designed to connect us—the internet and social media—have inadvertently become catalysts for division and fear. We find ourselves in a deeply fractured world. We are struggling to find common ground, largely because of our ingrained human need to be right.This discussion eloquently highlights the overwhelming challenge of navigating a 24/7 news cycle, where the line between fact and fiction is blurred by a constant influx of information, exacerbated by AI's ability to make fabricated narratives appear authentic. The struggle for peace and unity is intensified as we retreat into echo chambers. It has been reinforced by algorithms that feed us content aligning with our existing beliefs. Tom Campbell's assertion that we've created a "perfect storm" resonates deeply; never before have we experienced such pervasive division coupled with immediate access to a torrent of information. Social media, in particular, thrives on engagement, often prioritizing sensationalism—even hate speech. Which has an over genuine connection, creating a fertile ground for conflict rather than understanding.The addition of materialism to this equation is a crucial point, as it fuels a possessive mindset that reinforces the ego's need to defend "what's theirs" . As well as, consequently, to be right. Yet, as the podcast beautifully conveys, true growth and the evolution of consciousness aren't about being right; they are about embracing kindness, love, and acceptance, with an unwavering focus on peace and unity. Relationships, especially real-world interactions, are presented as the true crucible for this growth, fostering balance and positivity in a way that often eludes the superficiality of online interactions.The hopeful message is clear: this era of separation can conclude if we consciously choose love over the relentless need to be right. The only real change we can enact begins within ourselves. By understanding our fears, making a deliberate choice for kindness and positivity.  We can learn to listen without the need to justify our own beliefs. We open ourselves to a profound shift—a lowering of personal entropy that allows us to truly be love. This podcast truly gets to the heart of what matters, offering a compassionate pathway towards healing our divided world.We're getting to the Heart of What Matter!

In this episode, we explore what it means to shift your focus away from fear and toward love, hope, grace, and forgiveness. It's easy to spiral into worst-case scenarios—but what if we chose to look for something different? You'll hear thoughts on: Letting go of fear-based thinking Why what you focus on is what you find The power of choosing love as your lens Taking back the driver's seat from fear How small mindset shifts can create lasting peace This is a gentle reminder that you are not powerless—you get to decide where your attention goes. ----more----

In a season of Stillness—but I'm still here. ❤️‍

Scarlett Lewis is the founder of the Choose Love Movement, a global nonprofit dedicated to bringing social-emotional learning into schools, homes, and communities. Her son Jesse was just six years old when he was murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School during the 2012 mass shooting. In the wake of unspeakable loss, Scarlett made a conscious decision not to let anger, bitterness, or hate define her future. Instead, she built something beautiful in Jesse's name. In this conversation, Scarlett opens up about who Jesse was—a brave, confident, dirt-covered little boy who radiated life. She shares what it was like to raise him, what she remembers from the day of the shooting, and how she found the strength to keep going. She also reveals the deeply personal signs, instincts, and spiritual moments that have helped her stay connected to Jesse even after his death. Scarlett's story is one of radical love, personal courage, and post-traumatic growth. It's a story of presence, purpose, and the choices we make after everything falls apart. If you've ever wondered what it looks like to turn pain into power, this episode will stay with you. JESSE LEWIS CHOOSE LOVE MOVEMENT (website): https://chooselovemovement.org/Check out the entire website!

The singing parrots are desperately trying to keep us locked into the red blue duality. So much is happening, a brief hiatus is incoming. Sec. Duffy and the unfortunate nipple licking story. Using drones against the cartels is a bad idea for many good reasons. Some examples of subversion in ideological groups. DOGE has a paper trail too. Elon and some amazing data mining. The special signal is sent from our heart, and it should always be love. The bond that strengthens coherence. Don't fight the darkness, shine in it. The circuit loops in an illusion of choice. Don't charge the war. Step into the gap between yes and no. Change the game being played on their field. Triality reveals the whole game. It's spiritual mastery, being in the world but not of it. An echo room where every frequency entering leaves a trace. Thoughts charged with emotion leave a mark. Try to be more mindful. Real love breaks trauma loops. Confessions crack the system. History needs hero's, not complexity. Confessions go underground in private papers and memoirs. The future is defined by what we admit. We know who's financing the crimes right in front of us. Where are all the EO's coming from? It's all about the building of public energy and passion. And now is the time to buckle up.
