#PrayforLove Movement: A Response to A World of Tragedies

Pray For Love

 

The year 2015 was very rocky. Before the year’s end, by mid-December, I felt like I reached 50 years old through experiencing so much internal suffering and empathy for all the tragedies happening throughout 2015, in addition to the little struggles I’ve experienced within my own life. I thought I was going to explode.

The year was a killer, literally.
But I cannot get over all the ignorance I’ve seen from humanity last year. I’m disappointed in the human race. My heart aches from seeing man become such a disgrace in the most recent blunders of current events. From the increasingly publicized stories of police brutality and racism to acts of horrendous terrorism from ISIS, humanity has orchestrated a very effective visual of what selfishness looks like. It’s so saddening and makes me feel that there is little hope for what our world will become in the next few years. Will it get better or worse?

PrayForLove (Blog)

In the wake of how terrible last year has made me felt towards man, I’ve come up with lots of questions about compassion, sympathy, love, generosity, and anything that could be considered humanly traits that make a man be considered human and not a vicious, self-seeking, destroyer of the living robot. I want to observe what love is. I want know why people can’t give compassion to another. Why is it so hard to give another person a piece of happiness.

#PrayForLove is not just a hashtag I’ve adopted just to post on all my social accounts each time I have a new picture, meme, or status to share.
#PrayForLove is my call for attention for people to mind to what’s happening around them. It’s a one woman movement where I’m spending my days recording my thoughts of what’s happening around me. We as a people are losing touch with our spiritual selves. People aren’t awake or aware of anything worth being proud of. We all just seem to be getting by.

Pray for Love is something I hope will start with Doc’s Castle Media, along with all my other social sites, a call to action to possibly influence other people to learn to love themselves and everyone around them, regardless of what’s happening in the world or in their personal lives.

I want to make a difference in the hearts of many. I want the world to focus on the positive and not feed into the world’s demons and devils working to destroy a sense of peace. My post is here to provoke thought; to create a second for someone to think before they act. Though biology may beg to differ, humanity is not a bunch of animals without the capability to overcome hate. As the most developed species to walk this earth, we do not often act as such because of selfish intentions. Not to say ignore what you want, but people should learn to be more considerate and mindful of choosing to not harm another through their words and actions.

As you read this blog, I challenge you not to only #PrayForLove but to notice the areas in your life where love is needed. Ask yourself, what can I do to change the world around me? Does your elderly neighborhood need someone to help with shoveling their sidewalk? Does your boss seem like they need a word of encouragement after having to discipline an unreasonable coworker? Do you need a moment to yourself to distress from constant turmoil? Let’s learn to love through pulsing and considering what is best.

What do you believe can be done to spread love? Name one thing you can tribute to this movement in the comment below.

Happy Birthday Doc’s Castle Media!

It’s our special day! On this very day two years ago, I created what you now see today!

Doc’s Castle Media changed my life in so many ways. Before I started this blog, I wasn’t sure what direction I wanted to go, career wise. Honestly, I still don’t. Ha-Ha! But through the development of my very own publication, I’ve learned what I love to do and what I’m good at. I love to write, and I’ve been told I do it well.

Five years ago, I was very unsure of what I wanted to be when I grew up. I had dreams of being a model, an actress, an artist, and so many other occupations. But through rejection and people constantly telling me what I could and could not do, I learned that I hated be told what to do. So my interests in those “dreams” easily faded. I developed an interest in doing what I could do without people telling how to do it, a CEO mentality.

Through trial and error, I’ve learned I have a talent in creating ideas and, then later, executing them. I’m meant to have an impact, to be a voice and an innovator for something. I never knew what. But I’ve always known that if I wanted to be heard, my strength would have to be displayed through what I do best, in my writings.

Often I’d think to myself, if no one would hear me no other way, writing would get me recognized. I remember being 11 years old living at my aunt’s house with 7 other people getting frustrated when I felt like I wasn’t being heard. I would have journals filled with pages upon pages of thoughts I didn’t believe people cared about. I would tell myself, I’ll write my way into existence. What I find so funny is 12 years later, I continue to say this, and now, I’m existing because people find what I write worth being read. That’s an awesome feeling! Thank you very, very much!

Though I’m not at the point of full satisfaction, I am happy that I’m reaching someone. But I am not done! This blog is one of the few things I’ve been consistent with and truly enjoy.

This is my baby in which I’m very proud of. Doc’s Castle Media is on its come up and I do not plan on slowing down. I have too many things to offer to this world that I believe can make it become a better place. This is only the beginning. I’m still striving for my existence! I will be great!
