Today is my birthday. It has not been the same since 2001. In 2001, it was a day of horror. In 2002 & 2003, it was a day of mourning. In 2004, it became “Patriot Day.” It pretty much remained “Patriot Day,” until this year.

Now, it should be “Religious Tolerance Day.” It should have been “Tolerance Day” from the beginning. It’s more healing – not to mention life, time and money saving – to love, forgive and live in peace. War was the absolute worse thing to do. I was shocked when I heard war message roaring across the country. NOOOO! It was devastating news, especially since all the world showered their love on us in the aftermath of 9/11. War news broke my heart. It was just so wrong on so many levels. I still can’t believe we resorted to “war” and we’re still at “war.” Love heals all wounds.

“But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.”

So, my birthday message to all is Love, Forgive and Live in Peace.
