God does not Give Love~ God IS love …an Endless flow of Love that is moving through us and in us in every moment. An Endless Flow of Love that IS us. When we place our attention on this Endless Flow Of Love that IS God, we FEEL God. Sometimes we think we are placing our attention on God’s Love when we are actually placing our attention on the illusion of God/Love’s absence. When we are focused on TRYING to feel God’s Love, our attention is on the feeling of its absence. When we pray for God’s Love and support we are really just making an intention to place our attention back into God’s endless flow of Love.

Suddenly it became clear to me. I said “It really does not matter whether there is a God or not because at the end of my life there either will be something more or there will not. So I am choosing to live my life with the beliefs that make me feel good while I am alive!” That was such an important moment in my life because it allowed me to set aside the debate and explore the enchantment…which of course is exactly what brought me to where I am today! We often think of Pivotal Moments as large life changing events such as going to college, marriage, giving birth, or the death of a loved one. In fact these events do change our lives significantly but each of these events is created from a series of smaller moments that often go unobserved. It is our internal response to specific moments that can shift us profoundly. Another example of this for me occurred when I was in college. I was a Syracuse University exchange Student in London the semester leading up to the bombing...
