Each day I wake with the thoughts of gratitude for the great life that I am been blessed with in addition to the great things that are headed my way. Taking time to be thankful about each second and each breath keeps me grounded in what is next to come. As the excitement of the day continues on I am free to discover and reveal the precious gifts that are bestowed to me through the powers of great energy that we share in this universe. I am ever so amazed to see the reality and then realizing that I have the ability to change it with a simple tool called perception.
So, "What's It All About?" This great life is about taking advantage of the world around you. It is about believing in the infinite powers and abilities that you have and are in control of. It is about connecting to your inner soul and creating a space that is so sacred for just you and your God. It is about sharing the happiness in the world with others and limiting the negativity and doubt that forms in the minds of others.
The greatest sins of the world stem from lack, limitations, fear all of which are an absence of love. If you love what you do have then you are never lacking for anything. If you love what you are capable of doing at this very moment then you never place limitations because you know that you are doing your best and will continue to do so as long as you continue to do. When you love everything in the moment there is no room for fear.
Through my religious path I have been taught to be a "God" fearing child, and that I must be "forgiving" for my sins otherwise I will be prevented from entering Heaven some far away land. This has been a contradiction in what I felt was right and made sense to me. How can I fear something that I am suppose to be the image of? What are my sins and why would a God who is so loving creating them for me to feel pain and hurt? Where is Heaven and why do I have to wait to get there in addition what happens to all the other people who don't believe the same way I do? Yet when I am at a funeral or hear of someone's memorial service I have people saying that people that sinned are now in Heaven because they repented for their sins. If it were that simple to get to Heaven then what is the point to not sin until you are about to die?
I am so thankful to have arrived at the answers to my questions in a way that is simple and plain. As Pastor Toure' clearly transmitted the message on day in January 2009 I discovered that sins were doubt, fear, lack, and limitations all ultimately leading back to FEAR an absence of LOVE. God is within us all as we are created to be images of God that has an infinite wisdom and love for life. Every creature is of God and love and we living in Heaven or we create a hell that envelops us to be so fearful of living our truth.
I say this all to know that, "What It Is All About," is living in love with all things in life. Remove the doubt and fear and move in a way that creates the very best life there is on Earth as it is Heaven.
Seize this day!

No Two Days The Same
Recently the same theme has been following me through various media and communication channels. The theme is a reflection of the realization of the now moment. No matter what we do or how we try to keep things the same no two days or even moments for that matter are alike. In a personal matter I have been safely guided to remain in the now moment keeping my sanity and peace in a place that brings about only the goodness in every situation. Staying in the realized NOW moment keeps a focus of all of my needs being met. Something as simple as the single breath or pulse generated through our bodies is often taken for granted because of the concentration on remaining the same in the mediocre life of stability and comfort with the surroundings.
As children we explored every aspect of life. Each day became a new adventure into the unknown of everlasting learning. I hear my loved ones repeat the dread of going to work or the moments of a Monday approaching as it signifies the end of a weekend. When did we stop enjoying each and everyday that was given to us like we did as children? Was it when we succumb to the false belief that adulthood means to abandon childhood? Is it that we have been brainwashed into thinking that serving and connecting with others is some type of sinful act against our own being? Could it be that we are constantly denying ourselves from doing what we love to do in order to meet obligations that we created when we thought we lacked something to make us happy and to feel good about ourselves?
In this moment I challenge you to think about what make you happy. How much of what makes you happy is apart of your daily routine? For the next week, spend time doing more and more of what makes you happy as you strive to recreate a life of "child" like behaviors in the world. Create your day with the intent that tomorrow will be like no other because you are enjoying the day you have right now making it better than the one you had before.
