    How do you live love?
    I live love by living and walking in the Spirit. I am a bible based christian believer and I truly with all my heart believe that if the mind that is in Christ be in me I can do nothing but walk in love as God is love (1John) Having that deep passion for God makes you love when everyone else hates, judges, or condemns. It causes me to smile and genuinely pray for those who don’t particularly care for me.

    What’s one piece of advice would you give your 16 year old self?
    I would tell my 16yr old self that the friends you have now will change and most likely not be your friends in 10 years. You will change beyond your wildest dreams. People grow apart, relationships begin and end so don’t worry about whether or not you fit in becuase there is a different path for everyone is life according to the will of God no matter how similar your life may be to another.

    What’s one way that you live sustainably? (Culturally, Economically, Environmentally)
    I basically use peroxide for most of my fixes in life. It is relatively cheap and is a miracle in a bottle that many people sleep on. I use it to soak my toothbrush when not in use, wash clothes, gargle/mouth rinse, clean my house (counters, toilets) It also lifts burned food and things off the dishes if you soak them in water with H2O2 for a while, of course cuts, and the list goes on and on. With this I don’t have to buy harsh chemicals that are extremely toxic.

    1. I live love by sharing and caring for my friends and my community.
    I have a girlfriend , I’m constantly sharing and loving her but as far as the community , I do care for the community. I live in a very mediocre city and the main aspects of the city are negative. Negative feed back on the trash , litter , gang violence and everything in beyond. I show my appreciate to the community by volunteering for community services on the weekends and after I finish my lectures / homework / studies. In the mist of the community services , I also serve as a ” role model” to the asian and african american population. I live in Oakland , by the way. In Oakland , there’s a lot of gang violence and yada yada , but what there’s not enough of is … EDUCATION. This is where I help in , I go into the local tutoring session and tutor all of the middle school and elementary school kids for free and teach them the importance of having an education. ( Mondays & Thursdays only )

    2. Oh gosh , when I was 16 I was a fool … I didn’t have much friends but I only hanged out in the “nerd” group. When I was 16 , I was never picked on but I was one of the smartest kid in all of my classes. I took all of the advanced classes and easily got B+’s – A’s. I didn’t make much friends , except for the people I knew in my neighborhood. The main advice I would recommend to 16 year olds would be , be productive and make use of your time as a high schooler or 16 year old , because you’ll only be 16 for a year. The next year , I changed and became more socially active and received my diploma , a year earlier than the other kids. I would also advice to not join the “bad” part of the groups that are roaming around the schools because joining them won’t get you anywhere except maybe getting a big mac or two from mcdonalds.

    3.I live sustainably by making my time productive. I make my time productive by purchasing the cheaper value of certain items , manage a “life” with my parents and family in Manhattan , and by helping the community. Helping the community is a big passion of mine , like I would pay $5 just to see a criminal to pick up a trash that he threw into the trashcan , which is about 30 feet away. I maintain a connection my parents by phone calling and biyearly visits. Whenever I visit my mom , she tears up and checks my body if I was attacked or any mishaps have happened to me. I’m my mom’s oldest son , what can I say. :P

    1.How do you live love?

    I live love by looking for the beauty in everyone and everything. It is not automatic. It is work. A conscious decision to search and have faith that everyone and everything is beauty at its core. This is one of the few times when it is ok to ASSUME that everyone and everything has value. The impulse to hate, judge and condemn must be fought against to earn enlightenment. Anything worth having must be fought for. Enlightenment is the greatest gift and the greatest expression of love. I live love my striving every day towards enlightenment.

    2. What’s one piece of advice you’d give your 16 yrs old self?

    I’d tell my 16 year old self not to change a thing! If she changed in the slightest that would mean the destruction of me as I am today. I love who I am right now. I love the world I see through my eyes, the choices I make.

    3. How do you live sustainably? (Culturally, economically, OR environmentally)

    I gave up a high paying job in order to do seasonal contract work that allows me to travel around the country and work in some of our nation’s most spectacular national parks. In place of a car I ride a bicycle. In place of a 4,000 sq/ft house, I have an 800 sq/ft condo. I’m vegetarian. No credit cards, no excess STUFF. Just the things I love and need. I’m consciously good to myself in terms of my diet, my fitness, my spirit and my relationship to the environment and people. In addition to contract work I also write. I have published three articles (one in O Magazine) and a children’s’ book in order to share with others how they too can see past the myth that money and stuff is what makes a happy life.

  4. I live love day by day!! Take the time to savour each day like it is the last, savour each loved one like you will never see them again, each moment. Let people know now that they are appreciated, loved, wanted, and needed now, and not in their obituary when its too late.

    My advice to my 16 year old self is to love the time im in, by that I mean I was always wishing I was out of school, wishing I was older, wishing I could work, drive, etc. Now I wish I had less responsibility and could have those carefree years back again.

    What’s one way that you live sustainably? (Culturally, Economically, Environmentally) One way I try to live sustainably is by not being wasteful. In the past, I would buy things, half use them, throw them out and not worry about the anything. Now if I can’t use it, I find someone who can. I donate, gift it, or just find a way to manipulate it in order to get the full value. I try to teach my kids, to use and appreciate what they have.

    1. I live love everyday weather at work or play by treating people the way I would want to be treated. I listen, truly listen, I feel by trying to feel what they are saying or going through and I trust. I trust that the positive energy that comes from me will light a flame within them to be positive as well. Even when I am hurt by someone I turn it around to see that hurting people hurt people and therefore I try not to take it personal in a retaliatory way. I prefer compassion rather than retaliation.

    2.This is a tough one. I would say to my 16 year old self to be true to yourself and live in a way that you will be proud to tell your children and grandchildren about. If you don’t want kids that beside the point. Live in a way that you can share it with others, whose opinion you value, when you are much older. Try to live with no regrets. Even if you make a bad decision which we all do, learn from it and share that with others.

    3. My sustainable way to live is by being consistent. It would fall under environmentally because basically I try to be as approachable as possible AT ALL TIMES. My friends will tell you that I am consistent at being the same. I live drama free and I don’t get wrapped up in the ups and downs in the roller coaster of life. My kids, my friends, my coworkers and my church family know that they can approach me with anything at anytime and I will be the same. I keep myself sustained as a positive in my environment.

    1. How do you live love?

    I’ve learned to live love in the smallest, yet most significant ways. More than lately, I’ve been feeling very compassionate about the homesless/needy. I’m sure they have each other, however to have thousands of people walk past you each day with many not even addressing your presence has to be one of the most hurtful things one can experience. I pass these people everyday and I’ve chosen to share my love…the love God has allowed me to experience…through doing simple things. Smiling, saying hi, giving money when I can, giving food when I have it to give…and doing it all from an earnest and sincere heart. People who experience love daily can take this for granted, however I have made it a point to share my love with those that need it most. The smallest things can sometimes make a world of difference.

    2. What’s one piece of advice would you give your 16 year old self?

    Before you can love or do for anyone else, you need to love yourself first. Live in the moment – don’t be too quick to grow up…you have the rest of your life for that. Think about the possible consequences of the choices you make because they can affect you for the rest of your life. Pick your battles – don’t make a big deal out of everything. Discover what your passion is and build your life off of that.
    I know I’ve listed several pieces of advice, but I needed to hear these things from someone. It might have saved me from some of the heartache I’ve experienced in my life.

    3. What’s one way that you live sustainably? (Culturally, Economically, Environmentally)

    I try to cherish the memories of my family. My mother has never been real huge on pictures, but I am. I think it’s important to remember the moments we’re experiencing now because tomorrow is not promised to us. I’ve gotten into scrapbooking, taking pictures every chance I get. I’ve even volunteered to be the family historian so that those important moments are not forgotten, but celebrated. If no one else will sustain the memory of where I come from and what I’m experiencing in my life, I will.

  7. I live love by doing my best to extend to others the same grace and compassion that I wish others would extend to me. The Golden Rule. Growing up in an abusive situation taught me that compassion for others who are suffering is salve for wounds that may otherwise never be healed. I live love by showing others that I believe they are valuable. My words come from my heart, and are followed by my actions. I live love by teaching my children to pass on the healing and the hope that our little family has received by breaking the cycle of abuse. I live love by beaing authentic. I may screw up, but I do the best I can, and I don’t run from accountability. Adversity brings growth, which brings more opportunities to love. Love is a renewable resource. The more you love, the more love you have to give… so I guess that covers the sustainable question as well. You can never run out of love. If you keep giving it away, you keep getting it back. That’s ULTIMATE sustainability. ;) If I could give one piece of advice to my 16-year-old self it would be this: You are worthy of love. You are worthy, you are worthy, you are worthy. You are not used goods. You are precious to so many people. Baby girl, open your eyes. There is beauty everywhere if you’ll only choose to see it, and EVERYWHERE includes inside yourself. Don’t be afraid to love yourself. Again, YOU ARE WORTHY.

    1. How do you live love?
    Genuine Respect for everyone I come in contact with. Inspired by accomplishments. Not comparing my success to that of others’ and vica versa. Reaching out to hug physically or figuratively those that are temporarily crushed by life’s hardships, as a form of encouragement.

    2. What’s one piece of advice you’d give your 16 yrs old self?
    Life is long and there are no deadlines for your plans. Don’t rush to ‘just finish’ school. Take time and figure out how you will contribute in this world with your special talents.

    3. How do you live sustainably? (culturally, economically, OR environmentally)
    By remaining connected to my Haitian background…through language, songs, family chats, keeping in mind our history, knowing what’s going on currently and contributing constantly. Despite being born and raised in America, when I have children someday (God willing), I will teach them Haitian Kreyol, vacation in Haiti, and tell them all about Haiti’s tragedies and victories.

    Stay Blessed Sheena! Stay Blessed Ladies and Gents!

  9. How do you live love?
    I am love. I’m a product of love, and I try to let others know that too. Love is not only selfless, but selfish. First and foremost, I love myself by constantly striving to be a better me. This enables me to love others and encourage them. I smile at people, no matter where I am. I figure that my smile may brighten someone’s day. Sometimes, people smile back :)

    What’s one piece of advice would you give your 16 year old self?
    Know that light is there at the end of the tunnel, and this is only a phase in life. Although your life seems tough, don’t forget to count your many blessings. The rough times you’re enduring WILL get better, and you’ll be a better, smarter, tougher young woman because of them. Smile, because you’re beautiful and worth it.

    What’s one way that you live sustainably?
    I am a bargain shopper! If I can find a way to save pennies, I will. I love clearance racks for clothes, especially at end-of-season sales. I clip coupons, take advantage of sales, and tell others about them too!

  10. 1. How do you live love?
    I live love by loving others and by loving myself. I live my life genuinely and honestly. I know that love is kindness, patience, sweetness, does not hold grudges, and that love is in me to give. I live love by being showing my respect and deference to people I do not know. I live love by respecting my self and my body, and by demanding that others do the same. I live love by having standards for myself, so that others may see what it means to love yourself. I live love by being a visible representation of triumph.

    2. What’s one piece of advice would you give your 16 year old self?
    What a great question! This is really by happenstance but my youngest sister is turning 18 in January 2k11, and I’ve decided to write her letters on each of her birthday telling her what I wish I would have known at that particular age.

    The advice I would give to my 16 year old self is to spend time doing the things that make me happy. I know at that age, people often tell you to streamline your interests and try to “pick” a career you want to go into so you end up cultivating that (for college and the like), but I would tell myself to do the things that I enjoy. Be it writing, singing, engaging in a sport, volunteering, just to take some time and be more intentional about what I do with my time. I would also tell my 16 year old self not to get caught up in popular happenings (clothing, style, etc.). I know that it can be a hard concept to understand at that age, and I am am only 22, but in the 8 years since I’ve been 16 I have seen how the things I thought were important and made me likable, were just the things that kept me comfortable rather than me being comfortable in my own skin. Now that I have defined me for me and not as a representation of what others see and expect, I live and breathe each day freer. And that is something I would have loved my 16 year old self to experience.

    3. What’s one way that you live sustainably? (Culturally, Economically, Environmentally)
    I live sustainably through my photography, through journaling and through connecting with others. I truly believe each person has a story, a unique history and I know that we as people grown and develop through the communication of our pasts. I love to talk to people about life, growing, and just living day in and out the best ways we know how. It is my hope that my pictures and writings will someday be able to positively impact another person after I’ve gone. This speaks to being culturally engaged with others.

    I also live economically sustainable. I know that I work hard for financial stability, and I’m and super against throwing my resources away. Now, I am more intentional about where I give my money, and make sure that when I am spending my cash, I do it in a way that will not be a detriment to my financial success. For example, I LOVE food! No seriously, I do. But instead of eating out (which I find gross because I don’t like to eat what I did not see cooked), I take time to purchase groceries and make myself what I want to eat because truth be told, no one can cook and make for you what you can.

    1. I live love by forgiveness. Many sad things happened in my past, but I learn to forgive. Forgive friends, co-workers, family, and myself. Ultimately teaching others that they shouldn’t blame God for taking away an unborn child’s life, and to teach them that they don’t have to forgive God because he’s not to blame.

    2. If I were sixteen again and I see myself appear from the future when i’m 22, I’d freak out! :P but the advice I would give is “Listen to Mom, she knows what she’s talking about!” and the rest will work out fine.

    3. My patience would have to be one of my best assets and I’m glad that I’m patient. Patience is awesome when others are gossipping and I’m just sitting there listening; I can tell how people’s attitudes, lifestyles, personalities are. I’ve learned this from my grandma who would tell her married grandkids that everything will be okay because she knows what we go through (regarding married life and in-laws) even though we haven’t told her anything. She knows because all she has to do is listen to our in-laws and know what kind of person they are. Be true to yourself and be smart about it!

    This was fun! Thanks Sheena!

  12. How do you live love?

    I live love by applying the Golden Rule – “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” (Matthew 7:12). I treat people the same way I want God to treat me – with love. I approach every situation with love. Despite racist, ignorance or mistrust from people, I always seek to give the love that was not given. I live my life through my spirit. Give what you want and do not expect anything in return and you will be blessed. I live love by being a person of love and treating people with love. If you want love you must give love.

    What’s one piece of advice would you give your 16 year old self?

    You are beautiful today and every day! Commit to living a joyful life and create circumstances to make my dreams a reality. Never feel peer pressures by using drugs or abusing alcohol. Don’t become a victim to someone else’s pity party. Know that my worth and values have been decreed, not by the world but by God himself.

    What’s one way that you live sustainably? (Culturally, Economically, Environmentally

    By fighting for the things I believe in. I am a strong advocate for substance abuse and child abuse. I want to leave a legacy that I fought for abuse children and recover addicts to have a better life. When I generally meet people, I often ask what will you fight for. Most people responses are: family, children; Mom; Dad. I like to see the world as Malcolm X and Dr Martin King and fight to save the community, world, etc. I am committed to fighting for what is right. I realize that I was put on this earth for a reason and purpose larger than individual needs.

    Sustenance:
    I don’t try to make ppl think I’m a ballin’. lol. Public transit (Chicago winters are no joke), 3 pairs of shoes…thats all I need, prepaid cell. Basically, I don’t spend money to impress people. Sustain my dollars…
    I unplug everything when i’m not using it, and every once in a while I’ll do a self-imposed black out. Light candles because it so beautiful!! esp. when its raining… and write my music or something.

    Living Love:
    Well, I care what ppl think of me. (Not how I look…PLEASE) But, I know rude or mean people and I don’t want ANYONE to feel that way about me. I dont want anyone to hurt because of me. Im very conscious of that. Even people I’m not fond of. I don’t try to LOVE everyone per se, but the ones (and things) i do love, I love ‘em so much.

    16 year old me:
    When I was 16, I was a junior in h.s. In the middle of the year I stopped going. I was so down my entire time in high school. then there’s everything that comes with that. So I went back senior year and I was in night, saturday and summer school. A lot of work. However, to this day, I wouldn’t change it because I was near a breakdown or something. Got my diploma.
    Advice for other 16′s… spend a LITTLE time alone. Don’t be afraid of it. It is such a great thing for developing yourself.

  14. 1. How do you live love?

    I live love by consistently and intentionally finding things about myself to love. It has been a journey and I have learned to love everything about myself which wasn’t always the case. I understand that if I don’t love me, I can’t love others. I can’t give what I don’t have. I love the way that my rebellious strands of grey decide to go against the flow of the rest of my tightly coiled hair. I love the “Tiger Stripes” that sing a symphony around my hips. I love the fact that my partial blindness teaches me to see things that others may not see. I love how the North Pole beckons parts of my anatomy. I love that my stride embodies my ancestors. I love that I AM uniquely created from heavens hideaway place!

    2. What’s one piece of advice you’d give your 16 yrs old self?

    The one piece of advice that I would give to my 16 year old self would be to believe the impossible! To know that I am 100% responsible for my journey. That I could do anything that my mind could conceive. I would tell my 16 year old self that there are miracles waiting in line with my name on it! I would tell myself to stay positive and maintain a determination that is unstoppable. I would tell my 16 year old self to take time to smell the roses, to watch the sunrise, and to breathe when opportunities for growth present themselves.

    3. How do you live sustainably? (culturally, economically, OR environmentally)

    I live sustainably by using knowledge that would create a better world for others and my children to the best of my ability. To respect the earth and others. I live sustainably by finding ways to make use of things that would normally end up in landfills. By maintaining a positive vibration/energy that will multiply. By taking care of my body and preventing disease. By giving back to my community. By spending wisely and budgeting and by appreciating the things that I have and not always wanting more. I live sustainably by being in a constant mindset of creating. I live sustainably by using what My Divine has given me and not seeking to focus on someone else’s green grass!

  15. How do you live love?
    In 1992, our family made a conscious choice to move back to our homeland and to serve the less-fortunate of our country. This meant that my dad gave up a very lucrative job and we all had to make huge personal sacrifices to do it because Sri Lanka is a poor country with a dictatorial President and millions of suffering people and we all live on my dad’s current income, which is about 1/20 of what he used to earn. I didn’t always react well to our change in lifestyle because I was (and many times still can be, a selfish person). But, I’m reminded each day what a blessing I truly have to be able to bring joy to people who have been traumatized so much for no fault of their own. And, in doing so, I am beyond blessed by the lessons they teach me! Our family didn’t make our choice because we were forced to. We did it because we count it a privilege to serve our beautiful Sri Lankan brothers and sisters who deserve happiness. Ever since our move back to SL, I have tried to live love in 2 ways: 1) By supporting my family in any way I can so that we can continue serving while living on my dad’s small income. When I was in college (on a scholarship), I worked hard during the hours I wasn’t in school so I could send money back to my family to help support them. And now that I’m back here, I do whatever I can, both by taking care of housework and such and also by trying to encourage them when situations seem impossible, etc. My family means everything to me and while I fail many times over, I try to honour them by serving them so that we can all be uplifted enough to serve others around us. 2) By serving our people. Some people consider helping the less fortunate around them as something that will bring them merit, or something that we have to do as good citizens. To me, it’s become a lifestyle, especially because of the situation of most people around me. Now, I’m not saying I’m perfect..FAAAAR from it:). But, in seeing my parents make that decision in 1992 to serve our people, it became ingrained in us that this was to be our way of living…not some duty we feel we have to take on or a show we need to put on so people think we are kind or good or selfless. How does that translate into everyday living? We go out into the many orphanages, elders’ homes, streets, schools, the North of the country, where people still live in refugee camps after the war, etc, to help in any way we can. This love takes on many faces, like in a warm smile to strangers, offering medical aid or financial help through an organization, an encouraging hug or physical contact of some kind to someone that no one else is willing to touch, an unexpected phone call, a thoughtful word of appreciation, a bonding with a person in grief (and trust me, there are so many millions in grief after our 26+year civil war and the 2004 tsunami), a prayer for the healing of others, etc. To me, over the last 18 years, living love in this way has been really tough at many times. But, it has completely changed who I fundamentally am. It has transformed my life and taught me so many lessons I could never have learned any other way. I aspire to be like one of my heroes, a person who truly lived love every single day—Mother Teresa, who said, “Charity, to be fruitful must cost us. …to love, it is necessary to give: to give it is necessary to be free from selfishness.”

    What’s one piece of advice would you give your 16 year old self?
    With the move back to Sri Lanka when I was 10, it was tough to get readjusted to living here. Plus, kids my age were just mean. Most of them had a lot of money and wealth and looked down on people who didn’t. I allowed them to make me feel worthless because I no longer had what they had and because we were living two completely different lifestyles. Additionally, I was dealing with a LOT of other issues with teachers mistreating my sister and I, being ridiculed by them, etc because of our choices. I became really depressed, started despising the way I look (and I still deal with this issue a lot today) didn’t have any help because I felt alone in this struggle. And so, I started hurting myself physically and speaking negative words to myself. Eventually, I tried to commit suicide twice. But, I know God saved me and today, as hurtful as my past was, I have been able to use my story to shed light on the topics of suicide and depression that many, especially in cultures like ours that are “shame-based” cultures, consider to be “taboo.” So, one piece of advice I’d give to my 16-year old self (which is how old I was during one of my suicide attempts) is to say the following over and over until I believe it and realize it’s true: “You’ll probably never even meet these people you’re surrounded by now, when you leave school. And, many of them ridicule you because they have so many issues they are dealing with. You should be so proud of who you are and the way you live your life and not concerned so much with who these people say you are because you ARE BEAUTIFUL and you MAKE A DIFFERENCE in people’s lives. And, even though you may not feel it now, YOU ARE LOVED! So, committing suicide or physically harming yourself and hiding all of these wounds so no one will see, will NOT make things better. Your parents love you. They want to help you so seek help because you deserve it. You deserve to be happy. You deserve to be rid of these issues that traumatize you and make you feel so worthless because if you don’t deal with them now, you will be struggling with them continuously, well into adulthood!”

    What’s one way that you live sustainably? (Culturally, Economically, Environmentally)
    One way I live sustainably is to re-use what I have and to give away what I do not need. As most people I know are, I’m BIG on recycling, trying not to use products that are non-biodegradable, etc. We grow some of our own vegetables, support our local farmers who don’t use pesticides, etc. But, more than that, I apply this to my material goods…clothes, shoes, etc. There are so many people walking on the streets of Colombo who don’t own even one pair of shoes. There are others who have a small, torn up piece of cloth wrapped around their bodies and this won’t keep the scorching heat of the sun away or keep them warm at night when they sleep on the pavement. So, I go through my closet often and give away clothes and shoes and other stuff. And, I keep in mind that these are human beings who deserve dignity and respect. My thinking is, if I wouldn’t be happy receiving a certain piece of clothing (‘cos it’s dirty or torn or too old to be used), then I shouldn’t be giving it to someone else. I should be offering them something good, not my cast-offs that I can’t use for anything. Yes, it hurts to do it sometime, especially when it’s giving away things of sentimental value, but, I am soon reminded of how blessed I am and how much I have that I don’t need. I re-use the same pieces of clothing I have had for many years (and are still in good condition) and as a result, I don’t really spend on clothing. I don’t believe in buying and storing for future use. I believe in using what I have now until I can’t anymore and then investing in something else. And, this has worked great for me. I hate clutter and not only has this principle helped me learn to share, but it has also gotten rid of a lot of what I’d consider to be clutter. And, with living in one room, clutter is something I just don’t have space for:).

    1. How do you live love?
    I live love by caring for others through my work as a CNA(certified nurse assistant). I have been doing this for over 5 years and enjoy being able to put a smile on each person that I care for.Hearing them tell me how grateful I have been in their life really touches my heart. I’m a nurturer at heart so anytime I’m able to make someone feel better or know that I have touched their lives brings me joy.

    2. What’s one piece of advice would you give your 16 year old self?
    One piece of advice I would give my 16 years old self is “God Loves YOU & You are Fearfully and Wonderfully Made”…I was looking in the wrong places for love because my parents were divorced and my dad was not in the picture as much as I wanted him to be. Knowing what I know now God brought me through a lot and still loved me despite what I did. Just knowing that His love is everlasting and that I’m a special/unique person because He created me would have really made a difference if I knew that then. I had to find out the hard way but I’m a much better person now that I’ve been through and can say that I made it through the storm.

    3. What’s one way that you live sustainably? (Culturally, Economically, Environmentally)
    One way that I live sustainably is by using natural products and organic products in my everyday life. I have started taking a BIG interest in using natural ingredients that promote a healthy lifestyle and will be a benefit in the long run. I’m moving away from products that contain harsh chemicals that are damaging to me. I have gone Natural with my hair and loving it. Started using natural/organic products on my hair and body. Eating wise I have cut down on meat intake and eating more vegetables and fruit. Its a start toward success for me but I’m always looking for more productive ways to stay healthy and keep my body environmentally friendly :)
