September Theme: Love Out Loud
In Science of Mind, we often say that the word “God” is synonymous with Love. Because God is all there is, love must be all there is. But in a world filled with war, violence, and division, it’s challenging to see that God, or love, resides behind the darkness. This month, we are being invited to lean into love and express love out loud. Let’s look for love in every place we go, in the people we interact with, the events of the world, and most of all, within ourselves. If we want to see more love in the world, we must be willing to live as an example of love in action.

Week 1- Title: I Love Myself So Much! (Labor Day Weekend)
About: Enjoying the experience of being loved and loving others, starts with loving ourselves. We inspire love in the world by living as examples of what love looks like. So, if we want to encourage others to love themselves, we must love ourselves out loud. The people around us would benefit from knowing about our own self-love practices. Others are more likely to commit to their own practices after seeing how effective they are for people who they love. Let’s dive deeper into loving ourselves and share our experience with the world.

Week 2- Title: Love On a Spectrum
About: Love has no limitations. Every person expresses love and experiences love, but we do it in our own way. Some people prefer polyamorous relationships. Pansexuals do not choose their partners based on gender. Cultural norms may lead the people around us to be critical of our choices to express love authentically. But when we stand in our truth and love out loud, we create loving change within our own communities. Cross-cultural relationships lead to more unity. Celebrating our love out loud helps normalize different ways of expressing love and inspires others to embrace their own expressions of love.

Week 3- Title: Love Thy Neighbor
About: Peace in the world starts with us. To truly create a world that works best for everyone, we must ensure that everyone’s voice is included. We must make space in our lives and our communities for people who think differently than we do. When we surround ourselves with people of all ages, races, sexual orientations, political affiliations, spiritual beliefs, cultural backgrounds, and life experiences, we expand our own understanding of love. Living by example and loving each other, regardless of our differences, is a beautiful way to create a peaceful world that works for all.

Week 4- Title: Love Wins!
About: We are changing the world by leaning into love. Advocating for ourselves and each other’s right to express love in our own unique ways helps to create a world that works for everyone. Regardless of what challenges we’re facing in our personal lives or in the world, love is the answer. The universe makes no mistakes. Every experience is unfolding for the highest and best for the world at large. When we live from the understanding that love always wins, we consciously see how love is always unfolding before us.
