Fossils, what do I want to be remembered for?



I live my life in a state of love most of the time. Yes, I too have my moments when I forget who I am and why I came here. I am very happy to say that those moments are fewer and fewer as I journey down the river of life. I was reminded yesterday that unlike the events in life that we give all of our power to. At the end of the day, they are not life altering, or for that matter memorable in 3 weeks. What are the moments that take your breath away? Who, when you are in their presence does to you feel most alive? Spend more time doing those things, and living your passion to it fullest. The other stuff is just there to teach us where we are on the journey.  

Day 60: Fossils, what do I want to be remembered for? If someone could hold an article of clothing that I had worn, or my favorite piece of jewelry what emotion would they feel?

As I shared today, my legacy is Love, and being a safe space for others. I recently finished reading another powerful book, and one of the things it addresses is knowing your passion. Knowing it so well that you can state it with ease and grace and that others can as well.

My passions are To Be Love, to myself, others, and being a safe space for all.

It is the work that I am doing now in my life. One of the key things I have learned on this journey is that I can only be responsible for my intention, not how anyone receives it. Since I teach Love 101 classes and I emphases the importance of knowing how you best give and receive love. I have several friends who really dislike physical touch. One of the many ways that I am a safe space is when I see them I open my arm to expose my heart and ask them this question. Shall we embrace? The decision is theirs, I have set my intention, and I am open to giving and receiving at that moment. Here is the key, I am honoring myself and most of all I honor them. Many times they say no, and they thank me for loving them in a way that matters to them.

I have other friends who for them I trigger race, sexual things due to my skin tone, my beard, and my physical size. I may appear in size as a big bull, when in fact I am a soft cuddly bear. Leaning to love myself was the key is all of this. So many times I don't honor myself and therefor have little, if any chance of honoring you. When I know my boundaries and honor them I am really setting the standard for what I will accept from others.

If someone were to hold my wedding ring what would they feel? Joining with my beloved 6 years ago was one of the greatest days of my life. It really does keep getting better everyday. I know that whoever touched it would feel deep, and abiding love. The kind of love that holds your hand all night long in the hospital with your appendix ruptures. Love that holds your hand in the car, and always makes sure you are safe, or makes sure you get in the car first.

My legacy is Love! I know that is why I came here and I know that is who I am.

I love you

Rev Allen
