Choose Love March Photos
In March I pledged to Choose Love. I pledge to accept others regardless of our differences, to not exclude anyone because they do not believe in the same things that I believe in, and to go out of my way to focus on love and not hate or division. Will you join me?
5 Steps to Actively Choose Love
- Experts are saying that coloring books for adults can be both entertaining and helpful in relieving stress. Revert back to your childhood with adult coloring books with more detailed and creative images designed specifically for adults. Purchase one for yourself or for a friend or family member that you think could benefit from an adult coloring book.
- Be physically active. Simple things like taking a walk, walking your dog, or jumping on your bike for a ride around your neighborhood can help you gain focus and set aside the problems of your world out of your mind for a moment. I love to try and fit in 20 miles on a bicycle each day in a cycle or spin class.
- Volunteer! According to Psychology Today, volunteers live longer and are healthier. “Volunteers are happier and healthier than non-volunteers. In fact, during later life, volunteering is even more beneficial for one's health than exercising and eating well. Older people who volunteer remain physically functional longer, have more robust psychological well-being, and live longer.” – Psychology Today
Helping others always puts me in a good mood! - Help to spread the love of reading by donating your old books! I am an avid reader and love to go back and reread books so that I can relive the stories once again. However, I do try and donate as many books as I can so that others can enjoy the stories as well. Spring Cleaning is a great time to go through your books and select the books you would like to donate and make room for more! I have a Kindle, but I still enjoy reading hardcover books as well. I don't know if I can ever convert to solely reading e-books!
- “If you see something, say something.” It is a good reminder to always trust your instincts. If something doesn't feel right, it usually isn't. Stand up and speak out as you just might be able to help someone that doesn't have a voice or an opportunity to help themselves.
Choose Love Campaign
I purchased my “CHOOSE LOVE” t-shirt during OMAZE's fundraising partnership with RED this past December to raise money for AIDS awareness and prevention.

This is such a beautiful and inspiring post! I do love adult colouring books aha! I think its time we all choose love!
I need to get myself a coloring book! I used to love to do this as a child. Thanks for these tips… great reminder to choose happy and that it’s a choice!
Those are wonderful tips, I do a lot of those things except the coloring and I think I need to buy one for myself. And this “Choose Love” is a great advocacy helping others is such a great thing to do in this life.
Yes yes yes! Love above fear always wins. Thank-you so much for sharing this post, I think it is really important! Much love! xo
Such a terrific campaign! Choosing love is definitely worth it. I agree that volunteering and making donations is one great way of choosing love.And also, being physically active is such a great activity as well.
This is a great post, always choose love! I also am a big fan of donating my favourite books, to share the story
Oh wow, I love this shirt, pretty and stylish.That will really suits on me.
awesome idea! I absolutely love that idea! I would definitely take part in it if I could
What a brilliant campaign, we can all do with a little more love and positivity in our lives. It’s so easy to fall into a negative rut. It’s interesting that you list colouring books, I certainly find myself getting really absorbed in it when I colour with one of my kids or paint by numbers.
What a great campaign. Such a beautiful and inspiring post. #Chooselove
I choose love, thank you for reinspiring me to do what I love. For me that is reading.
Such a great idea. Spread the love! I need one of these tees.
What an uplifting post. I wish to see more of this heart in our world. People talk a lot about how to spread good, but I really don’t SEE a lot of it. Volunteering is a huge part of my family’s life, but it does occasionally get mundane and I wonder how much good we are actually accomplishing. This post definitely put a little pizzaz back in my motivation 😉
This is a brilliant campaign and is the need of the hour. Very thoughtful and inspiring. More power to you!
Thank you so much!
This is very inspiring. My parents raised us to be givers rather than takers, as well as to be accepting of all persons. I love this campaign.
Sounds like you have amazing parents!
I just started posting in my Buy Nothing Group and it’s been a great way to give back to my community.
That is wonderful!
What a wonderful campaign! Choose love always! I am wanting to volunteer more and have my girls do so to learn about giving and loving those around you
