Why do I get up each day and do this work? I have never been more alive, more awake, and more aware of the world around me than I am at this moment. I see beauty in places that I had missed it before. I am more loving each day because of this work I am more in love with the essence of who I am than ever before. I want this for everyone, and yet I know that each person must find it in their own time, and in their own way. I do this work each day so that others know that it is possible, and that it does indeed work. I want to be the example, and live that which I teach. I do this work each day because I want to have a part in what happens in my life and I want to show up as love. I want to get the most out of each day and see all the little things that I have missed in the past, looking either in the past or far off into the distant future. I love being here with you, looking at life in the eyes saying thank you for the most amazing life ever.
Day 19: Leaves, create a list of 5 ways you are magnificent. Repeat those to yourself while looking into the mirror.
Why did I write this book? Yesterday I had the honor to sit with another writer and talk about creating a book. I was able to share how important it was to for me to get the first book published, and how I had allowed perfection to stand in the way of that. I was able to share how releasing that work allowed me to open up to this work which allowed the most wonderful book to come through at just the right time.
It was my intention in writing this book to allow myself and others the space we needed to transform our lives. A safe space to look at ourselves and how we are interconnected, and yet individually unique. It was a desire to assist the greater whole in finding, self love, and living the lives that we have all dreamed of. I had a deep desire to go within and find the places in myself that I was holding anything less that magnificent and be willing to let that go so that I could thrive in life.
Little did I know that the words on the pages of this book would indeed be the greatest gift to me that I had ever given myself. That as I turn the pages for the 4th season that I would indeed be transforming my life at a deeper level than I had been able to imagine before. That by doing this work to the best of my ability day after day that the person I am becoming is someone I can, and am very proud of. That today because of this work when I have a day or two when my heart is really heavy that I know what to do to restore myself, and that I know where to focus my energy.
I realize more and more each day that life is way shorter than we imagine it to be at times. Why then would I dare waste any of it doing things that don't bring me joy, happiness, and love. Yesterday I watched the most amazing miracles happening in everyday places, and everyday people loving each other where they are. Because I was open, receptive, and aware that there is good in the world, and I am part of it. I watched another author come alive as she put together what she needed to set herself free. I watched her bloom before my eyes. Love is all around us. It is who we are. It is the one thing that we hold within us each day that will allow us to transform our lives each day.
Open, blossom, grow.
I love you,
Rev Allen
