When you are moved to do something, give yourself the grace to just do it and make it happen.
Purpose.
The purpose
of the Spread More Love Campaign is
to elevate the frequency of love on the planet. As we embrace ourselves more,
the things that we used to judge people about starts to disappear and we
inevitably start to embrace everyone, not only as human beings, but as
spiritual beings. This campaign creates opportunities for you to give love in an unconditional way so you can experience yourself as an unconditional lover.
How it Works.
We will
offer a series of themes and opportunities for you to participate in to “spread
more love”. They will be hosted in NYC, however we welcome you to coordinate
with us to create one in your city! (Email me at: info@LetsPursueYou.com).
Let’s
Get Started. Join the Spread More Love Movement.
May 2013
Background
On April 28,
2013 I was walking down 34th street in Manhattan, heading towards
the F train. I look to my right and see a homeless man sitting on the street
with a sign that said something to the effect of “Veteran, please help me eat
or give me money”. Something compelled me to stop. I positioned myself right
next to him, side-by-side, and I said “Hey, do you want something to eat?”
He looked up
at me, and we locked eyes. In that moment I saw something so profound. The fact
that he was homeless disappeared and all I saw was a human being. A young man
that looked like a scared little boy that just wanted someone to talk to, to
play with. He responded.
“Yes, a
sausage with mustard and a pepsi please”. I say “OK, I will be right back”.
I head to
the food cart and place the order, costing me $5 (all I had was $6). I walk
back over and hand him his food and drink. Then I start talking to him. I ask
him how long he’s been out here, if he has been looking for work, where he is
from and if he has family around. He says he is from Boston, has been on the
streets since 2006, couldn’t get a job, and that his mother killed herself in
2007. I listen. I listen as though his story really matters, because it does.
We end the conversation and I head to my train transformed, with a new found
appreciation for those that occupy our streets with no roof over their heads
and no one to talk to, but hundreds passing by them everyday – saying nothing.
So instead
of complaining about what the government should be doing to take care of our
veterans, or about what others should or should not be doing, I am creating a
movement to empower homeless people by offering a meal and a conversation, one person
at a time.

I love this idea and would support something like this in Columbus.
