“Man In The Mirror” singer-songwriter Siedah Garrett and the Agape International Choir Honor Michael Jackson in LIVE performance of Worldwide Number One Song.

“I have the distinct honor of writing one of Michael Jacksons all-time favorite songs,” says Saieda Garrett. “Michael’s compassion and generosity taught the world to sing with one voice and his amazing talent lives in the hearts of people everywhere.”

“Michael Jackson inspired the world by demonstrating how one person can make a positive impact on the lives of many,” says Rickie Byars Beckwith, director of the 200 voice Agape International Choir. “We are honored to sing in joyous celebration with Siedah Garrett, whose socially responsible lyrics helped bring consciousness to the masses.”

Rickie, with her husband, Michael Bernard Beckwith, Founder of the Agape International Spiritual Center in Culver City, CA, created the Agape International Choir in 1988 as a vehicle that delivers transformational healing through the power of music.

OUR PURPOSE

Our purpose is to create an environment for the healing of any sense of separation that may exist between homosexuals, bisexuals, transgender and heterosexuals at Agape and the greater community, and to heal any personal sense of separation that may appear within lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender individuals. We are here to anchor the consciousness of Wholeness and reveal and celebrate our oneness in God; to fully realize that each is a unique and perfect expression of God and to embrace and empower the many gifts this facet of God reveals. We are committed to providing an atmosphere of unconditional love, acceptance and support through this ministry, thereby uplifting us all to fully express as God has ordained through every sexual, affectional or gender preference/orientation.

Mary Morissey

How often we find ourselves wanting to shut out Love after a nasty, or unexpected, break up. We agree with our friends that, “There aren’t any good men/women left. I’m destined to be single forever. I’m a total failure when it comes to relationships”. We buy into their negativity, as we sink deeper into our misery.

Yet, it’s at that exact moment of wanting to shut down, that we are to rather choose to stand for something greater. To open our hearts to Love. To look, with faith, beyond our seeming ‘loss’ toward the arrival of our ‘One’.

So, how do you do this? Here are a few suggestions:

• Remember that the Universe will never meet you halfway, and this is simply another step on the path to your ‘One’. There is a lid for every pot. Nothing can keep your soulmate from you.

• Take nothing personally. You are wonderful just the way you are, and your soulmate won’t be able to see past you! Continue loving and reminding yourself what a catch you’ll be for your ‘One’.

• There’s no such thing as rejection. He/she wasn’t your ‘One’. Otherwise you’d still be together.

• Take your focus off the past, and its pain, and turn your attention rather to what you want in a relationship. As Michael Beckwith wrote: “Learn to take your attention away from what you don’t want, and all the emotional charge around it, and place the attention on what you wish to experience. Energy flows where attention goes.”

• Write yourself a Love Intention. For example: “I am a magnet to Love” or “I am open and receptive to my One” or “I welcome my soulmate now”. Keep your written intention nearby. Read it every time you find yourself feeling despondent or a failure.

• Give yourself positive self-talk. Be compassionate, kind, and validating to yourself. Give yourself at least 3 compliments a day! When you are beautiful in your own eyes, there will be a twinkle in your eye, and a confidence in you that others will find irresistible.

As you work through these suggestions you’ll notice a change in your thinking and behaviour. It’s not a luxury or ‘good luck’ to have love in your life. It’s a human need and you have been created to receive and give love. You’ll be surprised how quickly love can happen as you open your heart to your ‘One’.

Love to you!
