A new day, a new beginning.

I guess I'll start my first entry with a little bit about me. I'm a stay-at-home mom to an intelligent and precocious three year old girl. She is wonderfully creative and inventive, but also quite assertive and strong willed. I have a wonderful husband who is going back to school, so to make ends meet, I have a daycare in my home. We have two other three year old girls, who spend more time here then at home and have thus become a part of our family. Keeping sane in such a chaotic environment remains a daily challenge; but I enjoy this life immensely, and all the adventures it brings.

Let me explain a little bit about my beliefs, as you may see me referring to them in my future writings. I have been a follower of the Law of Attraction for 9 years now. I was introduced in 2000, when a friend of mine handed me an Abraham-Hicks tape. At the time, I was deeply immersed in the Christian faith, but felt like something was missing. Although I couldn't quite put my finger on it, deep inside I felt incomplete. When I listened to this first Abraham tape, my first instinct was to reject it out of fear. It was so different than what my church taught me. In some cases, completely opposite. But something inside of me opened up. What I was hearing felt so right, and made so much sense. It felt like I was coming home to myself, to God, and it was a wonderful feeling. I listened to many more Abraham tapes, read as many books about the subject as I could get my hands on, and for once in my life felt like I truly understood the meaning of life.

I was never able to go back to Christianity. While there are some things from that period of my life that I hold on to, I have trouble accepting the conditionality of it all. To me, God is an unconditional love, so full and limitless. In my eyes, I am God; as is every other being on the planet and in this universe. In my eyes we are one. We are loved regardless of our choices, because only love exists. There is no room for punishment or condemnation in unconditional love. There is only love. Period. And being the "God creatures" that we are, our life and what we experience in it is our choice. We are beings of great energy, a vibrational frequency that radiates throughout the universe. Science can show you this. Our thoughts contribute to the energy that we radiate. If we think happy thoughts, we radiate a happy energy. If we think sad thoughts, we radiate sad energy. And because like energy attracts like energy, if you are thinking sad thoughts and radiating sad energy, life will bring you more things to be sad about. Essentially, whatever you focus on, you will attract more of in your life. It is a scientific law of the universe.

With that said, let me make it perfectly clear that I completely respect, honor, and actual cherish Christianity, as well as all other belief systems. I in no way want anyone to feel like I am criticizing their beliefs. I am simply stating mine. I feel that in so many ways we are saying the same thing, just using different terminology. A different spiritual language, so to speak. I still talk to Jesus. I still carry "Christ Consciousness" with me every single day. But I define some other things differently, and that is ok. It is ok to define God in different ways. God is bigger than all of it. And it comes from the same source. It all comes from the same love.

Now, back to the Law of Attraction. As a result of discovering this, I have had a lot of fun experiences. I have set my intention on something and literally watched it happen within minutes. It is such an amazing feeling to actually witness yourself creating your own life experience. There is no other feeling like it. And to be in a place of pure positive vibration- life becomes easy. You step into this flow where everything you need is presented in perfect time. The second you think of something you need, it appears. I remember one time several years ago I was doing laundry at my apartment complex. I needed 75 cents to dry my clothes, and was a quarter short. I searched my pockets thoroughly, nothing. I had the thought "I need to find one more quarter". I checked my pocket again, and walla! a quarter! I swear that quarter had appeared literally out of nowhere. Life becomes a series of magical events like this, where it seems like the universe is working in perfect concert with you, creating a joyful experience like no other.

But don't get me wrong, I spend a lot of my life out of this flow, too. I have my days where nothing goes right. I get sick. I'm late paying bills. I fight with my husband. I have come to actually appreciate these disconnected times, because they make reconnecting that much more enjoyable. It's a flow, a wave, a breathing in and out, so to speak. My life is a constant effort to let go, to feel good, and to be love. and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I'm hoping that this blog will provide me a place to work through my thoughts and feelings, to help me search for better feeling places, to share some of the wonderful stories and adventures that I encounter with these three beautiful girls, and as a launch pad of creation for good things to come into my life.

"and so it is".
