Beliefs

I have been discussing beliefs with friends for the past two years, and have been struggling with how to express myself concerning beliefs. I've been asked if I believed in God, Angels, Reincarnation, Soul Ascension, and Karma to name the top five. In most instances I find myself quieted by the question. I understand that our lives feel finite and that feeling can translate into a decision of believing or not.

Recently I shared with friends that I'm not a believer. I felt I needed to state this out loud because of the effects beliefs have on communities. I feel the severing of connections for the sake of a belief in God's word to the point pf harming another. I am discovering that beliefs are static whereas ideas are open flowing paths of energy. Ideas can occur in the heart filling a person with a sense of purpose. Ideas change and evolve as each of us evolves.

A friend responded that when asked the question of Do you believe in God. She states it's not a matter of believing, I know the divine and don't feel a need to name it. Another shared that she sees belief as something off to side of faith, and that she has faith in the something greater. Through these discussions I received the message I needed. Faith is the leap and ideas are the messages. Having faith in my ideas is what I am becoming.

I know we are all transforming into the lightness we were born from, and the transformation requires the letting go of the old self.

In my own transformation, I am at a place in which I need to let go of who I was and embrace the light that is my authentic self. This is an idea I've recently received. I have been resisting the changes in my life. The resistance is out of fear of judgement from those I love. I know I am loved and I must now let go of Kay and embrace Evangelin. I have a new dream for my life. In it are children, writing, healing, and all of this is encircled in love. I am an idea of a dream I had last night. The idea is ever changing open, soft full of love and light.

I know my light was born of the divine. I do not need to name the divine. I only need to name myself, Evangelin.

I'm living through my heart.

Ramsey Turns Two!


Ramsey's birthday party was a blast.

He had friends from school to help him celebrate by jumping and playing at Little Gym's. This is his favorite place to run, jump, laugh, and play.

Check out the air track
he is jumping on with great concentration. He's the cutie in orange shorts.


His second favorite activity is to roll on the wheel. Here Mom is guiding him while he prepares for the big finish.




You can see he is happy to be a wheel. Even better is the landing!
