Do You Care?


Affirmations:
I care about taking good care of myself and all my relationships.
I care about taking good care of my home, my workplace, my community and the earth.
I care about speaking and behaving with respect and kindness all the time.
I care about being the best example of conscious living that I know.


Does Anybody Really Care?

Are there values we need to live?
Are there principles to live by?
Are there ethics and mores being learned in school?
Do our leaders, teachers, health providers care?

More importantly, do you care?
What matters to you?
Do your friends and family know you care?
Does anyone really know what you care about?

When people don’t care, they don’t pay attention.
When people don’t care, they don’t show up.
When people don’t care, they don’t share their truth.
When people don’t care, they experience despair, disease and die.

When we don’t care, everything goes to pot. (literally ad figuratively.)
When we don’t care, our children don’t care.
When we don’t care, others copy our example.
When we don’t care, we allow families, jobs, finances and health to fall apart.

When no one cares, we deplete our resources.
When no one cares, we live meaningless lives.
When no one cares, people harm themselves and each other.
When no one cares, we destroy what we have.

Do you care about you, your health, happiness, well-being?
Do you care about what you eat and how it energizes your body?
Do you care about how you live, the cleanliness of your home and care?
Do you care about the things you have, their maintenance and usefulness?

Do you care about your influence on others?
Do you care about how you spend your time and money?
Do you care about what you say and how you behave?
Do you care about your self image and reputation?

Do you care about the world you live in?
Do you care about the resources you use?
Do you care about the food you eat, the killing, pesticides and toxic waste?
Do you care about the trees and skies and seas?

Will we care when it is too late?
Will we care when no one cares for us?
Will we care all is gone or lost or depleted?
Will we care when no one cares for each other?

I care about You and me and Us!
I care about our children.
I care about the earth.
I care about reminding us all to care.

These Loving Reminders, written every morning, as part of my spiritual practice, are sent around the world to thousands since January 1999. I write them from my inner listening, with my Love and Peace.
I care about each one of you, deeply, profoundly, steadfastly, always and forever.

Love never quits.
Love never dies.
Love prevails through all times.

I trust in Love, the “God” Forces that creates through me, as me.
I trust in the Love, the Goodness, that lives and has its Being in You!
I trust in the Power and Presence of Love that will always Be.
Let us together remember this Love.

Loving you, 
Betty Lue
