A Word about God

I wanted to talk a minute about God…. I feel compelled to talk about how God appears in my life and my blog.

Now we are all grown-ups here and I am intending that I attract readers who have open minds.  Still, I know many people have been raised associating the word God with dogma and hypocrisy.

To be true to my authentic self, there will be times when I mention God in my blog posts.  I might refer to God as a male, female, or “it”.  I might capitalize references or use lower case letters.  None of that really matters.

I don’t pretend to fully know what God is or understand the complexity (or maybe simplicity) of him.  My concept of Her keep changing and I am okay with that.  What I DO know is that there is something out there that is guiding us… some all good, all knowing presence that wants us to grow and develop.  Wait… maybe I should rephrase that!  I know there is something “in here” that wants the best for all of us.  I know that God is both inside and outside of us… an all pervading wave of unconditional love.

So if the word God is a loaded word for you, please feel free to change it to whatever feels best to you and your beliefs.  You might use Spirit, the Divine, Energy, Nature, the Universe, Love, or a myriad of other words.  The only thing I ask is… please don’t let the words I use get in the way of the message!

Namaste!
