"The small choices"

Last night honey and I were sharing and I asked him what was the book he was reading. His response was “The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson.”  He went on to read some of the passages that are having an impact on his life.  One of the passages that he shared really hit home for me. Olson speaks about the fact that the things that impact our lives the most are the small choices in our lives. The things that are easy to do and yet also easy not to do.   

I begin to think about the things I am choosing to do that are having the greatest impact on my life.  Reading the book the “5 love languages by Chapman”, creating a workshop based on that work, and sharing it with my community at large. There is also meditation,  asking my friends to become my prayer treatment (affirmative prayer) partners, becoming a vegetarian, and choosing to be in a loving relationship with my beloved every day.  

I love that Olson states that these are things we do every day, and that if we chose not to it would not be the end of the world.. today, yet put them together and it very well would be the end of the world as we know it.  Honey and I get asked all the time how do you have such a loving relationship with each other.  I state clearly we both get up each day and choose if we want to be in this relationship or not.  Each day I ask myself “Am I all in or do I need to go?”  Making that choice each day for me means I am willing to take the extra steps needed to make this work; that it matters to me, and that I want the very best for us as whole.  Can I choose to be half in for a day; you bet, and it makes it easier to do the next day and the next, and soon I find myself looking across the room and saying to my beloved “I don’t know you.”  

Meditation is one of the things that is very easy to say I just don’t have the time for today, and the next day, and the next, you get the idea.  What I am finding in my personal experience and why is it so very important to me is I notice the difference in myself when I mediate.  I find the answers flow, and it reminds me that I am part of a bigger whole which holds all the intelligence there is.  Yet if I don’t do it, my life won’t end today.  However, the compound interest of not meditating over a period of time will have an impact in the opposite direction than continuing the practice I have established of daily meditation.   

Treatment partners, this is one of the things that I have been doing the longest and wow what a change in my life.  Like Olson states in his book, it was one of those things that I didn’t see any instant changes for a while as stated by Olsen.  Yet, I committed to my treatment partner to be all in and that is what I did.  I begin to realize after a year that my life was different.  I was holding myself differently as well as my treatment partner.  In holding them at their highest and best, I started doing the same for myself.  Funny how that works.  Today I have several treatment partners as I really believe in the way it changes lives and is one of those things I encourage the most at The Amor Spiritual Center.

Becoming a vegetarian was a personal choice about loving and honoring “myself.”  I did it after checking in with my body and asking what it needed.  I believe when we do that for ourselves we then can choose what is best for us each day.  I find that honoring myself this way has shifted how I feel in as well as about my body temple.  It really makes a difference for me.  

Choosing to love myself each day is the beginning of this work, today I am “all in,” how about you?

I love you

Space the Final Frontier, What Is It?

What is space? Last night my honey and I watched a PBS special on space and the 
question was raised that if you took every atom out of it what would it be?  I 
loved the fact that many thought it to be nothingness.  I liked even more that 
the scientist that were looking into it stated they were still discovering what 
space is. They went on to say that they were unable to at this moment say what 
it is; but that is was indeed something.  "SOMETHING" I love that word.  I have 
so often used it to describe that very thing that I couldn't understand.  
Something told me to take that path, something didn't' feel right about the 
process so I chose not to do it.  What is the something of life?

In the PBS program last night space was the thing that holds all things, yet 
gives them freedom to move and expand.  Space moves, ripples, expands, bends, 
and takes on the shape of that which is put into it.  Let's think about this for 
a moment; space is the substance that holds all things, and moves, and bends 
with us as we expand and grow.  Sounds like The Divine to me. Space is another 
word for Spirit, God, Allah, Ganesha, Buddha, Jesus, mother nature..etc.  We all 
have our own understanding and word we use to describe that space we can't 
describe.

I love the fact that space is the holder of all things.  I would even push the 
envelope one step further to ask if our knowingness of the planets out there was 
not the very thing that created and call them into manifestation.  When I think 
about the fact that "Space" holds the universe together each and everyday and 
allows it to move and have its very being with ease and grace, then how simple 
must it be for "space" to hold what I am asking for and make it manifest as 
well.  Some may ask why I would replace God with space?  I would say I did not I 
just expanded my understanding of what I know the Divine to be.  With out end, 
and that is indeed my life now.

I love you

Spiritual Practices and how we use them.

The talk at AMOR this past week was on Spiritual Practices. Today I realized that we are asked quite often just what is it that we believe in. Do you believe in this, or do you believe that? My response is usually "Yes," which then brings about more questions. What I see today as our greatest gift within Amor that we give is that we see community as a 'Spiritual Practice.'  You may ask; how is community a spiritual practice?  Well.. I think of the many times we spend with friends and family, and it is really awesome, yet we just chalk it up as spending time together. This may be true, yet I find that though we are indeed spending time together, we are also creating a community where we live in Spiritual Practice with each other.

Within the last month, members of Amor have built relationships with each other asking members of our families, or our community to become our treatment partners (affirmative prayer).  The change in our lives as a community has been amazing.  We also started a weekly treatment call where anyone can call in and join us and I have the chance to do a treatment (affirmative prayer), for everyone on the call. I love how we start the call.  We all talk about something good in our lives, which I know to be gratitude, another word for Spiritual Practice. That which I focus on, I call more of the same in. We have also been singing together for almost a year, meeting weekly since we have our new location, and to borrow a phrase from a friend, Rev. Eric Odel, "We sing together as a Spiritual Practice!”

For the last 10 months, we have been holding a monthly “Conscious Eating” meeting where we "Meet to EAT" (share our favorite healthy recipes, food and fellowship together which has extended from our community to 3 other communities) and I know that to be a Spiritual Practice. We also have a monthly meeting called “Conscious Choice,” where we look at what we are thinking and calling into our lives.  I also know this to be a Spiritual Practice. Each morning we share affirmative readings and thoughts as part of our daily Spiritual Practice on Email and FaceBook.

Is this all a shameless plug for AMOR,..yes!  It is also a reminder that we are living the lives we want to live. It is a reminder to look at everything we do to expand our consciousness as a Spiritual Practice. It is a reminder that “My Consciousness makes a Difference,” and the more I share in, steal away, and create time for Spiritual Practice, the more I am investing in my Good.

It is a reminder that when things come up in my life and I need help seeing them for what they really are (which is All Good and for My Good,) I want to know my community, my family, has my back. I know today that I have endless lifelines because I surround myself with folks who are in Spiritual Practice on a regular basis. I know that I am responsible for my happiness, and it starts with my awareness of my DIVINE source, and self.  The more I put into these practices, the more I can drawn from them in a time of illusion that may appear to me as anything other than good.

Today I am so grateful that I live and move and have my being in a community that lives a life filled with Spiritual Practices and is calling in the lives they want and deserve.  I know this to be a really good thing and a Spiritual Practice.

I love you

Namaste`

I Am Worthy of my Good

Wow when your life work shows up, it really shows up.  Today I know that means I have called it in and I am ready to expand to a new consciousness.  This morning I realized that I am choosing not to ask for what I want in fear of rejection and being misunderstood (Greedy). As many of you know we have just opened a new Spiritual Center.  All of you have celebrated with us and some of you have been asking what we need.  Putting together the wish list was easy, the asking and sharing part I am choosing to make difficult.  

Part of it is that my Birthday is next week and there is a voice within saying " way to plan this out"  guilt folks into giving.  Along with that, now that I am learning to celebrate me, I want my Birthday to be all about ME!!!  The bottom line is "hidden beliefs that “I am not good enough”. As you read in the last blog I have been treating and praying for Divine help in allowing good into my life.  Allowing others to love me.  When we were children a great deal of the way my parents showed love was in giving gifts.  Gifts are one of my "Love Languages" yet not as high as quality time.  

What I recognized today is that my birthday is indeed coming and I really do get to receive a great deal of love from my "family" of choice.  Today I have two choices to get in the "Love Boat" and enjoy the flow, or I can paddle like heck back up stream fighting all the way.  I want to speak my truth; I am sore from paddling.  It is now time to release, let go of the paddles, and flow downstream to my GOOD.  

As I stand in the truth that I am Good, I am asking that all the desire of AMOR be met and that we LOVE, THRIVE, and BLESS the community and world around us by being who we came here to be.  Knowing that whatever I ask for and speak into existence must be made manifest.  Now I ride the Love Boat of life to my/our good.  I know that this "birth-month" is the best yet and that the LOVE that I so willingly give out is coming back to me NOW, Heaped up, pressed down, and running over, and that in doing this I set others free to see their worth and ask for what they want as well.

Letting It .... In

This morning during my prayer time with my "prayer treatment" partner I realized something really amazing.  This last two weeks Spirit has requested my attention to allow the love around me in my conscious life.  I love being who I am today, and all the many ways Spirit speaks through me.  I love that when I am present with someone as they speak, Spirit is showing me a wonderful film of their life and showing me what to ask them when they have finished releasing.  I love how I get to be present with all my friends, family, and community and know that each and every one of us is on our Divine path.  Regardless of how it may appear at the moment.  I love when I do treatments with my community and the way LAW manifests in the lives of others knowing that my truth is their truth for there is only one truth and that is LOVE.

I love how it is so easy for me to see how "others" can have love all around them and yet "they" are so busy not letting it in.  As I mentioned Spirit requested my attention at the end of the week a couple weeks back.  Let me tell you the whole story.  AMOR Spiritual Center has been calling in a home and on the way to my eye appointment after a laser procedure Spirit asked me to take a new path as the illusion of traffic was heavy.  So rather than stay in the illusion, I took the other path and the moment I honored that knowingness within I knew exactly where I was going.  I was going to see AMOR's new home.  I drove to the street where a parking space was right in front of the building and called the number on the sign to check on the space.  The next day Spirit request that I look on Craigslist for chairs for the new space even thought the illusion was we had not even talked with the leasing agent about the space.  So, rather than stay in the illusion I looked on Craigslist to find 63 padded chairs for a dollar a piece. I spoke with the AMOR board and we made arrangements to pick them up. While there, the man selling the chairs asked why we needed the chairs and I told him about AMOR and our new home. (which at this point we had still not made contact with the leasing agent even thought I had made many attempts.)  He then states that they had sold many other items they were releasing yet no one had responded to this ad other than me, I said that is because they belonged to AMOR.  As he walked outside and loaded the last of the chairs he handed me some money back and said he wanted to help us with our new space.   We ended up getting the chairs for less than 38 cents a chair!   My wonderful friend on this adventure had just had a massage so when we got back to our house she needed to use the restroom and my instant thought was  "I have to unload these chairs before she gets back so she want lose the effect of the massage."   See a pattern yet?

Within the next two days I had a pain in my side that was GREAT, and I thought to myself “oh wow I have overdone it again”. On the way into the doctor we met with the leasing agent and secured the space for AMOR’s new home.  Later that day at the doctor I had a CT scan and was sent into surgery to remove my appendix.  As the folks from AMOR called, and my friends called, and my family called to ask could they be of help my honey told them that I was resting.  This last weekend all of our Community loved on me in such a deep way that it was over whelming to take in.  Yesterday AMOR moved into its new space and with me recovering from surgery unable to lift anything I got to sit and receive this wonderful community loving each other and me in this very DEEP and LOVING WAY.  Did I ever resist at times.  Yet last night I was so moved to tears the way Spirit works, I had to share.  This all took place and I didn't have to do it all in fact I didn't have to do anything.  We have this amazing space that the AMOR community created together - all of us.  Not Rev. Allen being super hero, doing it all, setting up a pattern as I have so many times before only to become bitter when I felt taking advantage of.  Spirit stepped in and asked me nicely to sit and enjoy the LOVE that surrounds me every day and know that the work is in knowing it is complete in the mind of the Divine and we get it watch it manifest.  And most of all we don't have to force anything into being.  

So here I am once again grateful for my appendix and the lessons I am learning along the way.  The best part is I am allowing the love of the community that I love so deeply each and every day to love me in return.  The Gift of Cause and Effect in ACTION.

I love you

If You Will Give Me a Sense of Security I am Willing to Stay Anywhere.

I am reading this wonderful book "The Gift of Imperfection" by Berne` Brown and it has really started me thinking on a deeper level.  She speaks about our quest to "fit in" and the need for a sense of belonging, and I love what I am gaining from this reading.  As a life coach I get the pleasure of standing with folks in their dreams, and holding them at their highest and best.  What I am finding true for myself as I work with others is that the book "Zero Limits" by Joe Vitale is showing up in my life in a very real way.  He speaks about Hooponopono which is a ancient Hawaiian teaching in which we speak to the Divine knowingness of our love, we speak to it about our sorrow for anything we have done to harm it, we ask it for forgiveness and thank it for that Grace of forgiveness.  The gift of this teaching is that anyone who brings something into our life is really allowing us the opportunity to heal it within our own life and consciousness and therefore heal it within the ONE consciousness.  

What does all of that mean, right?  I find that the quest for the "holy grail", if you would, is the desire to have a true sense of security in life.  After all is that what life partners, marriage, family, having children, contracts, wills, paychecks, and partnerships is really all about?  It is this promise that you will honor me and stay with me forever.  A promise to keep me at my current place of security or better for the remainder of time.  I find that we put a great deal of work into the promise and once signed we go on with life knowing we have a "base line" if you would.  What I find as we create the "safe" bet, the status quo, we often times stay in the same space going around in circles rather than going into the unknown.  

What is it about the unknown that is so scary anyway?  When I think about it, it really is all about fear; that I might fail, or let's be honest, I might succeed.  That I might have to expand and you know once you expand "what will I do then?"  Heaven forbid I keep expanding.  So I find it easy at times to run to the edge and then back to safety of my sense of security of the status quo.  Let me say right here that if that is working for you continue on that path.  What I am finding for myself is that is not the path I came here in this physical form to experience.  I came here to LOVE and live out loud. Wow, do I have some stories of how that has looked in the past that could most likely curl your hair.  I have always been the person who lives outside the box in day to day life.  What I am noticing is that I still wanted that sense of security.  The ol’ safety net if you would.  What if I tapped in to my Divine consciousness and trusted Divine Spirit to be that sense of security and live the life I come here to live?  WHAT, and not have a written contract?  I mean with my honey I have a paper that says we are beloved forever.  We have a 30 year mortgage that says we will be together for the next 30 year at least.  

What if I trusted the Divine to take me from Success to Success, and that I was the "Light" in the unknown places and that the unknown was my friend wanting to build a loving and fulfilling life together.  That the moment I trust it to be for my best and walk in with my eyes open I would experience the joy of ME.   Knowing how the law of attractions works I know that is exactly what I would find.  I am not suggestion that we don't build healthy relationship and love our way through life.  I am suggesting that we don't sign on the dotted line and then quit living.  Remember this, all contracts end, folks. Transition, we all expand one way or another, so let’s get to living and know that our paths are full of Love, adventure and "Belonging" to the DIVINE.  

I love you

What Is Standing In The Way Of Your "Joyful Living?"

I am reading this wonderful book "The gifts of Imperfection" by Brene` Brown and it is so funny to me that I started not to read it just because of the title.  Being a new thought minister I am very mindful of my wording, yet I want to share this story with you.  I  know today more than ever we are divinely guided.  I turned on the TV to see one of my favorite PBS shows and instead they were having a fund drive for PBS and the focus speaker was Brene`, the title of the book come up and at first, my "judgement" on the wording of the title showed up.  I shifted and listened to what it was she was saying rather than what I was chosing to hear.  I really enjoyed her thoughts on the matter and decided to order the book.  It arrived and was added to the books Spirit suggested I take on.  This last week I went to visit my parents and I had the real urge from Spirit to take this book along.  Learning that when that still small voices speaks it really is the voice of The Divine, I listened.  While I was there visiting, I started reading and I was amazed at the "PERFECTNESS"  of it all.  The book speaks about how we do the "hustle" to fit in, and how we can often assess a situation and become what others want us to be rather than live authentic lives.  (think about this for a moment I am at my parents home, with my parents)  

I begin to laugh at the DIVINE order of it all and how when I trust Spirit it is a magical journey regardless of the destination.  l will say that this book and the fact that I meditated for hours while at my parents' house allowed me to live my life, and not the life that I thought would make everyone else happy.  I shared myself, my view, and was open and honest.  I listened with compassion and understanding, rather than judgement and ego.  I realized that when I love who I am and live my life I set others free to do the same.  I also remember one of my new beliefs, that I am responsible of my happiness and everyone else is responsible for theirs.  I felt free and was able to spend time with my family while remembering who I was and that 'I LOVE BEING ME!'  

The more of the book I read the more I am really enjoying it.  It is really looking at what we allow to get in our way of living the life we want to live, filled with joy, peace, understanding, compassion, and LOVE.  The very word "imperfection" that almost caused me not to read the book is the very word that I am currently looking at my hidden beliefs around.  I am reminded of a Conscious Choice meeting we had where we discussed the "power of words"  and the fact that words are just words "we" give them power.  Most often it is because we have a hidden belief around them.  For me I am realizing that my constant drive for PERFECTION is standing in the way of my living a joy filled life.  I have discovered a hidden believe that states "When I am perfect, others will love and approve of me." I was able while on my visit to arrive at a place of inner peace and realize I LOVE and Approve of myself and that is all that really matters in my world.  I am reminded of another quote from Wayne Dyer that states "What you think of me is none of my business.  I realize today that what you think of me is only true when I choose to believe it and give it power.  

Namaste

GIVING OUR BEST!

Have you ever had one of those day's where you are like "That is so not my best work?"

That is how I felt last week when I left Amor Spiritual Center last Sunday after having bronchitis for a couple of weeks and just not feeling 100%.  I felt as though that was the worst talk I have ever given.  The truth is it may have been the shortest I have given for sure; yet I know it was just what was needed.  I talked about calling things into our life and how we deal with it once there.  It is so very easy to look at things like not feeling well and ask the why and how questions we all ask.  Somewhere around mid week, I stopped and asked myself, "Who cares about the why and how, the important question now is what do I want in this moment in time?"   I don't know about anyone else but it can be so easy to get caught up in the why, how, who, etc and just feel so bogged down.  

One of my favorite stories I like to share is when I was diagnosed with cancer.  It was a moment of complete surrender; not just from fear.  I had been around New Thought long enough to know that the best practice for now is being in the present moment as it is and accept it as it is.  Once there, I can set an intention for where I want to go.  I also know today that whatever arises in my daily life is here to serve me for my highest and best.  I have be to honest that it took me a couple dozen times (maybe even a million) to get to that space and it is easy from time to time to fall back into the old BS (belief system) from time to time.  

Funny how I plotted a course for perfect health when I found out about the cancer and then some months later to find out I had another kind of cancer was one of those moments when I had to take a moment,  I then accepted once again and continued on my path to perfect health.  I was laughing at myself this last week when I was "grumpy" about having bronchitis.  Talk about putting things in perspective, isn't it funny how we can blow things out of proportion?  It is like one of those saying my mom uses: "You're making a mountain our of mole hill." Have you ever seen those mole hills?  They're HUGHE I tell you, HUGHE.  (Laughing at myself again, humor is a wonderful thing.)  

Today I know that I can choose to look at anything in my life anyway I choose too.  I can play the victim; or I can accept, bless, and let it go knowing that everything is here from my good (and most of all my happiness has nothing to do with any of that!)  Happiness is an inside job, and it is all my work.  So go out and have a good laugh at yourself.  Enjoy the day and remember that it is "ALL GOOD".

I love you

There Is Only One Life

I sometimes think of life as a reality show; like the reality show, Survivor.  I begin to think "You know, wouldn't it be nice sometimes if we could vote some folks off the island?"  I think that is one of the reason so many folks are attracted to programs on television.  It gives us the chance to live our lives through someone else.  Have you ever had that friend who did all the crazy things you always wanted to do yet were to afraid, to reluctant, to .... to do them?  

The thought of voting someone off the island reminds me of my early days in recovery from drugs and alcohol.  Many times I would look at the world as "doing me wrong" and so often I would fix them by leaving, quitting the job, or moving.  No matter where I went, there I was. It seemed at the time that only the names and faces had changed yet life was the same.  GUESS WHAT, it was because the thing that needed changing was me and my attitude! 

Today I find that when I want to vote someone off, out, or feel "wronged" it is an opportunity for "growth or change"  I know, I know,.. everyone's favorite words.  "Why oh why must I be the one to change here?" "If so and so would just do that it would all be alright!"  Thought that might feel true for the moment but the truth is that in that moment, I am giving my power away to someone else.  I am allowing someone's "being" to effect me.  

One of the greatest tools I picked up in recovery was "resentments would kill me."  Today I look on it with softer eyes, resentments today grow into "dis-ease" within the body.  I love reading Louise Hays' You can Heal your Life. I can't tell you how many times I have looked to see what the ailment was and found it to be on point with what was going on in my life.  Our bodies are road maps to what we are holding onto.  Today I know it is of the utmost importance for me to "RELEASE" and let go of any feelings of stuff.  I allow myself to process the emotion and let it out, then I move to something else I picked up in recovery, I spend the next 30 days sending blessings and love to the object of my attention or resentment.  

I don't know exactly when it happens but somewhere in the 30 days, magic happens. I shift to a new space.  Today I know that when a "CHARGE" happens with someone I have some healing work to do within.  Today I know that some part of this is a mirror that I can go deeper, and learn how to love myself more. When I stand in that space I recognize that we are all one and that it is impossible to vote anyone off or out, for we are all ONE.

There is only one life, and that life is a good life.

Blessing's and LOVE

What Would Happen If I Blessed Where I Am For Showing Me The Way?

Yesterday this thought come to mind; what if I take a look at where I currently am and give thanks for everything that has brought me to this space.  Wouldn't it be nice if I could look at NOW with the understanding that where ever "here" is needed everything on the path to get me to this space, and in this now moment I know more about where I want to go, and who I am than ever before?  Why is it that I sometimes choose to focus on people, conditions, and situations, rather than in this now moment where I have a new understanding of what I want more clearly than before?  Talk about the present, now that is a gift.  

So many times I state I want to dwell in this "bliss" space and then some situation comes along to change that.  Today I want to focus on situations as being a gift to assist me in knowing better who I am, and bless it for showing me the way to the new path I want to journey down.  How many times have I stated that I wanted this pair of shoes only to get them home and decide that they weren't what I had hoped them to be.  I can insert the word, (job, home, relationship, etc, or whatever) in that sentence knowing that so many times in my life I thought if I could have this or that I would be happy.  Only to find myself once there saying the same statement about some "NEW" thing.  Today I understand that happiness has NOTING to do with the situation and everything to do with how I view it.  I am responsible for my happiness and to place that task on anyone or anything is unfair and unrealistic at best.  

In my relationship with my honey today I have BLISS moments all the time, why because I look for them.  Each day I wake up next to my honey is the best day of my life.  Why?  Many reason's but the one I have control over is what am I looking for, for today I understand that which I seek, I find.  Each day I get up and look for new ways to love, and express that love.  I look for new greatnesses about him, and things to be grateful for.  Sure enough everyday I found hundreds of them.  Does that mean that all the relationships until now were bad ones, no it means I needed them to become the person I am today, and for that I am grateful.  Just as I needed all the friendships in my life to be the friend I am today.  I needed all the growth in my life to be the LOVE I am today, I am the one who chose to see it as pain, bitterness, discomfort.  

The one thing I do know today is that in order for NOW to change I have to release how I see it, in order to call in something new.  It is very hard to hold on to what you had yesterday, and pick up the newness of today. 

Thank you for showing me the way.

I love you

"Today I Shall Judge Nothing That Occurs"

How often do I find myself looking at what others are doing in a critical way?  I don't really want to spend a great deal of time today talking about judging others, but more so about the many ways I look at myself in a critical way.  I believe that the outward appearance of my judgment  is in direct relationship to how I am LOVING myself.  As is the case in human nature, I find it so much easier to work on "your stuff" rather than taking a look at mine.  Funny how that is, isn't it?  

Abraham Hicks’ books suggest that we keep a log of the judgment for a day to find out how much "critical thinking" we have in our personal world.  I did that and found it to be useful in looking at the issue at hand, which allowed me to then know better where I want to go next. Knowing the Law and how it works, seeing where I am at this moment, allows me the ability to know better what I want to call in NOW. Talking about "Love in many languages, Love being the key, Pouring more Love on it, and that there is only Love is one thing; but, living it is yet another.  This is where I love that Alcoholic Anonymous quote "We strive for Progress not Perfection in all our affairs".

The book "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra"  quotes a prayer from " A Course in Miracles" that states: "Today I shall judge nothing that occurs".  I love the thought that as I judge nothing it allows the Divine flow to flow through me, as me.  What a concept?  That being in non-judgment I am creating a new world not only for myself but for all of those in my daily experience.  Now that is LOVE in Action.  Once again I am working with progress and as suggested by Deepak Chopra, I take the time when judgment arises to simple state: "Today I shall judge noting that occurs".

Having a greater understanding today of how the Law of Attraction works, I understand as I look at things differently my life shifts and I find that my life no longer presents the very BS (belief system) I understood as "FACT".   Today I am choosing to focus on Love and allow the divine to flow through me and for today my choice is to judge nothing that occurs. 

I love you 

Rev. Allen
