Consider Your Foundation

This is your card reading for Monday, September 11th/17.  Your card today dropped out of the 'Whispers of Love' card deck (a new card deck I acquired yesterday!), authored by Angela Hartfield, with (gorgeous) artwork by Josephine Wall. Your card is 'Consider Your Foundation', and the author's message for the card is this:
~You are being asked to consider how committed you are to love.~
Love means to commit without guarantees. We give ourselves completely in the hope that love will be the lasting result. Love is an act of faith. Surround yourself with love and know that your life will be better for it."

My message for you today is this:
Just...WOW!  I always trust that the 'right' card will present for readings and I understand completely that it isn't 'me' who is selecting the card—that I am simply the conduit. I have to admit to feeling that I didn't quite 'get' why today's card presented, or the message behind it, until I typed in the date for today! September 11th! Of course! It all makes sense now! 
We are being reminded on this important day in history that LOVE must be the foundation.
On our motorcycle trip in 2015, we visited New York City.  As I am extremely sensitive to energy, I was nervous about going to the site of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center on 9/11/01 in which nearly 3000 lives were lost. I feared that the energy there would feel overwhelming to me. Yet, knowing that it was a pivotal and monumental event in history we felt compelled to visit the site to pay our respects.  I am so deeply grateful that we did! What I felt as we walked the grounds of the memorial was that this ground was sacred. The vibration there is one of unity and honouring.  The terrorists behind the attack achieved the OPPOSITE of what they were striving for that day. They were attempting to impose FEAR and division by orchestrating this tragedy. Instead, people came together in heroic ways to support one another in the wake of this attack.  Yes—you will feel sadness and loss when you visit this site.  You will also feel hope, and faith, and courage, and resilience, and LOVE. Love is the foundation of what has been constructed there in the wake of the twin towers falling. 
May this serve as a reminder to us all that we need to choose LOVE, especially in challenging times.  This begins with love for ourselves, which is the foundation of the love you have to share.  
Blessed be...
