Molly Strong

I am passionate about being a part of a revolution in caring and kindness. I am passionate about peace, beauty, joy, compassion, love, laughter, truth, healing, and growing in consciousness. My personal experience has been that as I have embraced, healed, and opened my heart, I have discovered the sacredness in myself and all life. It is my belief that the ripples of the strong and sacred heart energy in us all is what will awaken and heal our world.

Visionary voices...

"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one, wild and precious life?" ~ Mary Oliver

"Joy comes not through possession or ownership but through a wise and loving heart... Weigh the true advantages of forgiveness and resentment to the heart. Then choose." ~ Jack Kornfield

All beings tremble before violence. All fear death. All love life. See yourself in others. Then whom can you hurt? What harm can you do? ~ The Buddha

The World is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion. ~ Thomas Paine

One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. ~ Carl Jung

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and loose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. ~ Abraham Lincoln

During times of universal deceit, telling the truth is revolutionary. ~ George Orwell

War and peace start in the human heart - and whether that heart is open or whether that heart closes has global implications. ~ Pema Chodron

No people can be both ignorant and free. ~ Thomas Jefferson
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

In our time, when high technology guided by values such as conquest, exploitation, and domination threaten our very survival, we need economics driven by an ethos of caring. We need a caring revolution. ~ Riane Eisler

Peace is not just the absence of violence but the manifestation of human compassion. ~ The Dalai Lama

Love is patient and kind... love is not jealous, or conceited, or proud, or provoked. Love does not keep a record of wrongs... it is not happy with evil, but is pleased with the truth. Love never gives up... It's faith, hope, and patience never fail. ~ I.COR.13:4-6

We must become the change we seek in the world. ~ Mohandas Gandi

Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing. ~ Arundhati Roy

Everything we think, feel, and do has an effect on our ancestors and all future generations and reverberates throughout the Universe. Therefore, our smile helps everyone. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
