Today think about a circumstance or an opportunity you wish to transform.

It was my desire when writing "Seasons of Change" that it would make a difference in the lives of others. The greatest impact has been in doing the work everyday. As a life coach and mentor I find that telling others how to live is "an answer." Showing others how to transform their lives has a greater rate of understanding. It was my willingness to look at my relationship with food, and how I had been hiding out in it that has allowed me to make a transfromation with my weight. It was my willingness to love all of myself that allowed me to find love within. It has been my daily walk with my Greater Self that has allowed me to return to love and find that making sense of things is not what transforms me. It is what I do with what happens that transforms me. This exercise was just what I needed today to return to who I am. I AM LOVE! 

Day 64: Hail, Today think about a circumstance or an opportunity you wish to transform. Take a moment and journal about the experience and how you feel at this moment. When you are finished, take your journal and go and sit in a different space and write the story again. When complete, go to a new space and write the story again. Repeat this until you feel your perspective begin to shift.

My heart has been heavy over the last few days and I empath the great sorrow for human behavior. Where in the midst of this do I find a new perspective, and how do I return to love?

(Journal entry 2)

I know that life is expressing itself everyday. I know that violence is the only answer that some feel they have. How can who I am make a difference in that behavior? How can I find a way in the face of fear to open my heart and become more loving? How can I create a new beginning? How do I keep loving?

Living as an open homosexual through out my life as cause a great deal of grief and suffering. The loss of my family, my home, and my faith. I did not understand at that moment the courage I held within my soul. I choose at that moment to be myself rather than who others wanted me to be. I didn't need them to change. I only wanted to be the best version of who I could be. Through the gift of my friend Donald Gene, I found a new God of my understanding that loved me as I am.

I created a new family with others who could love me as I am. I found that home is a space where you feel loved, honored, and respected. I found that I had enormous courage to stand as who I am, and know that I had a purpose. I witness countless members of my family become sick and die from a senseless disease called AIDS. I begin to understand that love was the only answer that would transform any of this. I begin to see a new future, and a new life.

(Journal entry 4)

I have learned through experience that love changes who we are. It was love that transform my body and the cancerous cells back to perfect health. It was love that transform the AIDS diagnosis into undetectable. It is love that has allowed me to find love for myself. It is love that allowed me to shift the perspective of my life from grief to joy. It was love that allowed me to find the soft spot within myself to allow others to find their own way. It was love that allowed me to forgive myself and others. It was love that allowed to me to get up this morning and do this work. It is love that allows me to open my arms and expose my heart once again. It is love that transformed my life. I am now willing to return to love.

I love you!

Rev Allen
