Global Love Day May 1, 2005
The Day
We invite you to celebrate this day by consciously focusing on love and what it means to you. We hope that by practicing love in all areas of your life, you will find it natural to use it all year long. Our main theme explains it best, "Love Begins With Me."
What I Can Do
Simply be love. And if you want to actually do something loving, we have provided several categories to help give you ideas of how you may approach the day. See the links to the left or above. Each page will present ideas that you can begin with. We encourage you to come up with your own ideas (and share them with us!)
Around the World
Catching on around the world, we launched this new program in December 2003 for our first celebration on May 1, 2004 and already we have connected with people in over 70 countries. We hear daily from so many of you supporting our efforts for this event. You have shown us that this simple idea is one whose time has come. Our second celebration is here this May 1, 2005!
State and community proclamations include the governors of Connecticut, Florida, Iowa, Utah and New Jersey and mayors from Houston, Columbus, Salt Lake City, Milwaukee, Harrisburg, Palm Bay, Minneapolis, Iowa City, Middles borough, Raleigh, Tampa, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Sarasota, Clearwater, Plant City, New Smyrna Beach, and the Commissioners of Hillsborough County, St. Petersburg City Council along with a Tampa City Council Commendation. And our main flyer is now available in 13 languages!
In conjunction with Global Love Day, we launched our annual Art, Essay and Poetry Invitational. This program encourages our youth to participate by sharing their perspective of global love in a creative fashion. You can see how their amazing efforts turned out for our first annual presentation on the Invitational page and also find information and guidelines for this year's submissions.
It is our vision to unite one and all in a celebration of love and compassion. This day marks our annual event calling upon all people and all nations to gather together in peace and love. This year's theme is appropriately called, "Love Begins With Me".
As we continue to connect with people and organizations around the world, we are amazed at how much is being done in efforts to positively assist humanity. There are so many wonderful people and associations that are actively working on behalf of a community, nation and even in global proportions.
As we often remind ourselves, what is presented by mainstream information sources is often a narrow and negative perspective of what is happening upon this planet right now. To the contrary, we see and know that good and right is occurring everywhere. Look for love and you will see it all around you.
This simple reminder changes the very nature of our experience. We are what we place our attention upon. When we allow love to be our focus of life, we expand this in our every day activities. It is as simple as changing each perspective and allowing the negative and limiting views to be released and replaced by a higher, more loving understanding.
We appreciate and are grateful for the courage each of you express. In a world that has historically revered the negative and fear based aspects, it takes strength to be and share love. It is time for love to become our common vision.
Please join us. Be a part of this global day by choosing love, compassion, peace, and unity. Share this information with your friends, relatives and coworkers. Love locally and spread it globally.

Feel: Love Begins With Me
