Good Morning Family
What would I want you to know if I could only tell you one thing? Love is the answer to every question you have in life. How many time has it been the most important thing that you see my way, think like I think, or do it my way? Who cares how it gets done as long as you know that I love you and you love me? Who cares if the dishes get washed tonight, I would rather spend time talking with you, and loving you. One of the best questions I am learning to ask myself is, if this were the last thing I get to do with this person what do I want it to be? Was it more important that I wash the dished, or that I spent time loving you? I chose loving you.
Every second of our day we spend making choices, and we live in a world that is so driven by things, money, possession. So often I find that I want to possess people as well. Why do I say that? How many times in my life has it been the most important thing that I was RIGHT? What is that all about? Is there only one path to anything in life? Is there only one way to the supermarket, to the mall, to church, to a loving relationship with God? Am I so busy working on you, because I would rather do that than work on me?
There is within each of us a FEELING, a connection to God and Source that leads us. I know for me today when I am not connected to that, and I don’t make that the focus of my day-to-day life I get out of balance. When I am out of balance it usually when I need to be right about something in my life. I am learning today that I know the answers that are right for me. I just have to take the time to check in and ask myself. A really good indicator that I am off track is when I am in judgment of something you are doing.
How many times has being right kept me from the Love I knew I was supposed to give? How many times would I not talk to you because I was standing in RIGHTNESS about some issue, some injustice. Who was winning here? I have the answer it is within me. If I just take the time to find out. However you arrive at it is up to you. How ever long it takes you to find what you are looking for is up to you. I know today that when I am jealous of you, or something you have that is really has nothing to do with you. It has to do with my relationship with my self and my source. You are just holding up a mirror for me to see how I am treating myself.
When I get mad with you about something it is usually very small in the big scheme of life, however it doesn’t feel that way at the time. What I really need to do is sit down with my self and get it touch with what is going on with me? I find that there is usually somewhere I am not giving to myself what I need. It is just so much easier to put the blame elsewhere. History is an important thing I feel, cause when I look back at all those times I needed to be right, wish the dishes, a month later all I really remember is I missed the time to tell you that I love you. What if that was the last thing I got to share with you? Is that what I want you to remember me for? One of the best things I have learned in living is take the time to breathe. Just stop what I am doing and take a breath in and think about if this was the last thing I ever said to you, is this how I would want to be remembered?
Some of my friends ask me why are I always talking about Love? I usually say that is my purpose here. I want to be a peace with myself, and I know that I can have fun with you and laugh with you, but when it is all said and done I want you to always know that I love you more than anything. If I am love all the time, then I ask what else can come back to me? I spent most of my life living in judgment about what you were doing so just what come back to me? If I want love I need to be love. If I want peace I need to be peace.
I love you just the way you are. Find your way to love. Who cares what anyone things about how you look doing it. At the end of the day, you know that you have loved that day. I will ask you what is more important?
Thank you, for being you. I LOVE YOU just the way you are.
Always

Celebrate
Celebrate!!!
Each day I am given is a present from God. One of the many gifts that have come out of the last year is celebrate today. I am alive, I can LOVE,and I can see what I want to see. I woke up yesterday morning and I really have cause to think about just that. Celebrating life.
I was thinking about a request I had made in a prayer that I would be debt free. After talking to a very wise friend of mine she suggested that I choose different wording. Financial freedom was her suggestion, and I love it. Thank you Trev. I begin to think about what that means to me? As many of you may know I have been out on disability for over a year now, and I had worked very hard to clean up and clear up my credit. When I found out about the "Tant so" cancer I was very fearful to say the least. Not about the illness so much, but about how I was going to live and support myself.
I had years ago filed bankruptcy, and did not want to do that again. I had forgotten my prayer for financial freedom, or was choosing at the time to look at LIFE. I remember stopping at some point when I knew that I was going to have to move from CA and just surrendered. God I don't know what is going to come from all of this, but I do know it is for my GOOD!!!
I have to be honest I had put my focus on things,lifestyle,credit,status more than loving. I see today where I was blocking my good. I had worked hard to clean up my credit, and had done a great job. Yet I had some old hospital bills that were haunting me. I wanted to be free of that, yet how could I will all the bills I was paying in CA? I am reminded of a wonderful saying Rev. E has "God is always working behind my back for my good."
I realized yesterday morning that God through the course of this year had blessed me to clean up and clear up those old bills. This had been something I had wanted for over five years. I realized yesterday morning that I had NOT celebrated it. I realized that so many times in life that I ask for something and it is given. I forget to say thank you in the form of celebration. I am alive today. Celebrate!!!!!! I am financial free today. Celebrate!!!!!! I am clean, clear, and very much ready for the next blessing that comes my way. Celebrate!!!!!!
One of my favorite passages in the bible is Malachi 3:10 which ends in see if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
Each day I am alive is such a blessing, today I want to celebrate and say Thank you.
I love you

What Could Happen?
What could happen if I Trusted the Flow?
What would my life be like if I just trusted that my steps are guided and the next thing will take care of itself? Would that free me up to Love more? Would have make it easier to serve my purpose here on earth? What would it be like if I just trusted God to take care of all the little, and big things in life? What would happen if I spent my day Loving every thing I saw?
I have been reading a great book that talks about emotions and allowing them to guide me. I have been an emotional person all of my life. When I was a child in the first grade I cried for two weeks when my mom left me at school, because I didn't understand that she wasn't going away forever. I was made fun of as a child because I cried, and like to play dress up. My Papa hugs were the best thing in the world. My Granny told the best stories and I loved spending time with older people. Loving them was easier to me for some reason. I felt like an old soul in a young body. I always knew that my emotions where mine and I needed to enjoy them all. I always love to sing I would go outside when I was a child and sing so loudly that my grand parents could hear me singing. They lived about a block away. I loved to sing for it was those times I felt peace, oneness with the world, and Love.
As a child I would talk to anyone, one of my favorite stories is my mom talked about how shy she was until I was born. I have the best mom she and I would do everything together. She made a game out of everything, making the bed, cleaning the floors, and my favorite shopping for groceries. She would put me in the cart and we would stroll up and down each lane in the store and I would speak to everyone and I do mean EVERYONE we passed. My mom would tell me not to trouble the other folks they were busy, but I wanted to know each of them. My heart reached out and most of them would reach back, and we would talk or share a laugh. We would stop at the deli counter and the butcher would always give me a piece of cheese. I think that is one of the reasons I love cheese so much today. We would load the groceries in the car and head home. I would stand in the back seat and ask Mama with each car that passed. Mama who is that? "I don't know son" Why not I would ask?
Sunday was my favorite day; I got to sing in church. From the age of two or three my mom and dad would take me to church. When the singing started I would turn around in the pew and sing to everyone behind me. Everybody called me "cotton top" back then. My hair was so blond it was white as cotton. My mom and dad always allowed me to sing my heart out. They always love to listen to me sing. When I was talking to others or singing I always felt so free. Connected one to another.
Some, where along the way I learned to quiet my voice, speak only when spoken too. Don't speak to stranger. In 2000 I found myself so depressed that I went on anti depressants. I was numb. I didn't care about anything but FOOD!!!! After a year I went to the doctor 40 pounds heavier and said I want to feel again. I had not cried one tear in a year. I worked with the doctor and come off the medication slowly. I was at work one day and on my way to pick up my mail when I felt tears on my face. That was one of the happiest days of my life. Why? I was alive. I was able to feel my feelings again. At that moment I vowed that no matter what I wanted to feel how I felt. I could choose what was right and wrong for me. If I was to feel better it was up to me, not anyone else. I cried, I cried, and I cried some more.
Each day was a step through depression into fear, which lead to anger. Blame, and resentment lead to worry and disappointment. Impatience lead to boredom, and then contentment. Optimism lead to belief and positive expectation. Happiness took hold and I began to have Passion, Love, Appreciation, Knowledge, Joy and FREEDOM. Each step was my journey into life. This last year I have been on the fast track. Today I know LIFE is going to happen. What I do with it is up to me. I can choose heaven or hell I have experienced both today. It is my choice to choose. That is FREEDOM.
This all started out with what would happen if I just trusted the flow. FREEDOM. That is what happened for me.
I love you

Harmony or hurt?
My friend Max shared a story with me that really touched my heart. It is about a Buddhist principle.
Every Life is like a calm lake surrounded by wonderful loving trees. The people in my life are like visitors to this lake. They can bring Harmony, or hurt to the lake.
Max shared more, and it started me thinking. Think before I speak. I remember when I was a young child I believe in the fourth grade. A teacher taught us the phrase "put your mind in gear before putting your mouth in motion."
I realize today that my words and deeds are energy. Each one should be used to bring harmony, peace, and Love. So many times in my effort to make something better, or "fix it." I come into others lives like a mighty Avalanche.
Is what I am saying at this moment loving you and bringing harmony? Or, am I just wanting you to see my way, and change? I am finding as I love myself more, that needing others to change in order for my happiness, isn't really happiness. Today I choose to be happy just to be happy.
A friend of mine noticed a pair of shoes I was wearing the other day, and I was so happy to tell them about the great deal I got on them. I didn't remember the name of the shop, so I was telling them what it was near. My friend knew instantly where I was talking about and stated the name. I having some other name in mind continued to give more direct, and specific directions to the location of the store. After three times of my friend saying the same name, I realized we were both at the same location we just took different routes to get there.
We both got there; who is to say one or the other is right or wrong? Is it not the lesson that we all get to our destination our on way, and at our own speed? I am so grateful today that I can hear what I am saying. Take the time to day to say Thank you, Please, Your welcome, and I LOVE YOU.
Bring Harmony to the lakes and lives you touch today.
I love you

My Gift to you
In thinking what this year has giving to me. The joy of living in the moment. Counting my blessings. Choosing what I look for. Love is always the right choice, no matter what the question is. Believe in myself. Love starts with in. Laugh everyday.
During this time of year is when we start gearing up for the holiday season. We are thinking of so many things, who is coming to visit, what am I going to prepare, looking for the best sales, what pair of shoes to wear. (SMILE)
It was this time last year when I started Medication, and within a month I was told I have cancer. I would have the first of two surgeries, and I would receive the most amazing Gift from God. Love is my purpose. Love is what I am to live each day. Love for every thing. Look for the Good in all things. The only difference between where I am, and where I want to be is CHOICE.
Choosing to be happy today starts with giving thanks, and appreciation for today. I woke up this morning. I am ALIVE. What a great gift. What am I going to do with it today. How can I best spend my time today. Today, I know the answer. The best way to spend my day is Loving. Starting with myself and allowing it to ripple out, knowing that whatever I send out always returns to me.
So, Happy Tuesday Family I LOVE YOU.
Your Brother

What is your Dominant Intention?
Good Morning God, welcome to my day. It is my dominant intention today to "be the love of God" to every thing I see, meet, pass, and experience today. It is my intention to enjoy the prosperity and abundance that I see in the color of the leafs, the grains of sand in the concrete and know that each of them is vibrating at it maximum good. They are being an example of how I too, must embrace my life.
I am working on a workshop that I want to give. One of the first things I want to ask everyone. Think about all the things that are here on the planet today, that weren't when you were born? For me, one of the first things that come to mind is the "Internet" and of course the cell phone. Yet, today I often think what we did before this was as it is today?
We dreamed of a day when it would be possible? Did we not? We THOUGHT it into being. Now think about that same question, or better yet ask someone of your parents generation and here what they have to say. I am reminded of the times my parents would say " you children today have it so easy, because".... Today I know that my parents intention was for me to have a better life that they did. Out of that intention comes love, life, dreams, and THOUGHT.
Think about electricity, today we think nothing of turning on a switch and the lights come on. We think as long as we pay the electric bill we will have electricity. Most of us have no doubt in the law of science that makes electricity work, we enjoy that science everyday. Can you just for a moment think of the many jokes each person who thought that electricity was possible might have endured. Yet there was a passion, a knowing within that it was possible. That voice with in that kept saying live your dream.
Now I ask myself, and you. Where do we spend out "THOUGHTS?"
Is it our dominant intention to "be" that which we know we were destined to be, or do we instead live in the fear of ...... you fill in the blank. Think about this every time you use your cell phone today, or every time you look up something on the internet. What is your heart asking you to do, and it that your dominant intention today?
I dream of a day where we all understand that we can each live our dreams. That means I get to focus on what I am thinking, and doing. Not trying to control what you are.
I love you

Don't miss the Blessing
Today' s reading has ignited a huge spark in me.
It is as if a small child went to a wise parent and asked," Parent, may I have this good think I desire?" The parents only answer would be, "Yes, you may have it,-here it is."
But supposed the child replied, "my hands are too full to take it now, --put it by for me."
Am I missing the blessing that I have asked for? How many times in my life have I prayed God please take this from me, only to hold on to the thing that much tighter? How many times have I laid it, on the altar only to pick it up again before I go? How many times have I chosen to take the burden rather than the blessing?
The reading goes on to say the circumstances which make us unhappy are so very small, but when held up in front of the eyes blots out the sun.
I am learning this new technique that is really changing my life, when I choose to really put it into action. I have been a planner all of my life. As long as I can remember I had a plan. So for me I love "to do list." Through out the years I have added so many things on my "to do list" that I found it to be overwhelming.
The new practice goes like this. On a piece of paper draw a line down the center of the paper. On the left side write down the things you are actually going to do today. Write only those things you know that you will be able to accomplish. At the top of the list write "things I will do today." On the right side of the paper at the top write "things I want God, or the universe to accomplish." Then load it up with all those things you have wanted to get around too, but haven't. As well as the things you don't see how you can. Those things you may feel are out of reach for you. This is the good part. You then take the paper tear it in half and take only your part, your actual "to do" list. The rest you leave for God to handle.
Some months ago I was concerned about health care. I had received a call from my old employer that stated that my insurance was going to Cobra. I had heard horror stories about what it cost on cobra. I was consumed in fear. I was holding it up in front of my eyes asking what am I going to do about this. I was making a choice. I was choosing fear. I had read in a book about this process and said God I want to change my focus. I got out a piece of paper and wrote down my "to do" list for the day and then the things I wanted God to do. When finished I said a pray and tore the paper in half and began to achieve my half of the list. I really let go of the things I had left with God. I actually threw God's list away. Within hours I received the letter from Cobra and I had insurance and it was only $80.00 more each month than I had been paying. Very easily within my budget.
I am not sure what else I put on the list that day. I do know this. God is on it. My heart lifted that day, and when I feel my list is not within reach, I take out my piece of paper and write down the things I know I can do that day, and then the rest I give to God.
Try it out; see what God will do for you.
Today I remember that I am the only face of God that some folks will see today. What am I showing them?
I love you

You then take the paper tear it in half and take only your part, your actual "to do" list. The rest you leave for God to handle.
Some months ago I was concerned about health care. I had received a call from my old employer that stated that my insurance was going to Cobra. I had heard horror stories about what it cost on cobra. I was consumed in fear. I was holding it up in front of my eyes asking what am I going to do about this. I was making a choice. I was choosing fear. I had read in a book about this process and said God I want to change my focus. I got out a piece of paper and wrote down my "to do" list for the day and then the things I wanted God to do. When finished I said a pray and tore the paper in half and began to achieve my half of the list. I really let go of the things I had left with God. I actually threw God's list away. Within hours I received the letter from Cobra and I had insurance and it was only $80.00 more each month than I had been paying. Very easily within my budget.
I am not sure what else I put on the list that day. I do know this. God is on it. My heart lifted that day, and when I feel my list is not within reach, I take out my piece of paper and write down the things I know I can do that day, and then the rest I give to God.
Try it out; see what God will do for you.
Today I remember that I am the only face of God that some folks will see today. What am I showing them?
I love you
Allen
