I've always been one to speak my mind and share my thoughts...I've also always been one to stand up for what I believe..Whether that was being a way-over-the-top-bible-thumping-go-getter-Christian in my early teens or in situations like I am in today...


As mentioned before, I grew up in a Christian household- My family raised me with Christian values, & my Papa was actually a preacher, so the foundation was there stretching back generation from generation...In my early teen years though I took it to a whole new level- Engulfed in "youth groups", "retreats" & the such, it went from the values/principles my family taught me to "aggressively pushing, believing for that matter, my beliefs on others" - Looking back now I feel like I got so involved with all that {my circle of friends & my boyfriend at the time we're all a part of it} that I didn't see beyond it...It's actually something in life I regret most- Being so blinded by it, that I couldn't see what else the world was offering at the time...



Fast forward a few years, rebellious years to be honest, in which I tried to "discover" it all on my own...Throw in a few more years of traveling the world, meeting & seeking out people with different beliefs...Put in some really-make-you-think-about life/death moments like sitting beside my father-in-law as he passed away...Add in the miracle of having children and for an added bonus, one that had to fight for her life numerous times....And you get what I believe now....



I believe that there is a God and I believe "God" is different for every single person on the planet...What a Catholic Nun feels as God is different than what the old lady weeping in the pew feels...What a Jewish mother believes is God is different than what a Muslim Father believes...What a Baptist Pastor knows as God is different than what a Buddhist monk feels is God...What I feel, think, know as "my God" is beautiful to me because it is mine...What God is to my mother is just as beautiful because it is hers...What God is to others doesn't, shouldn't matter to YOU- It's their God!!! Whether that's Jesus, Allah, Jehovah, Fate, Karma, Nature- WHATEVER...Point is "God" is mine, yours, theirs & different to all of us!!!



You could find "God" in the beauty of nature, or in a song that touches you beyond words...You could feel a stirring in your heart seeing your baby girl getting operated on or sitting in a pew hearing words that resonate to you...You can find peace in knowing yourself, being connected to something greater than yourself or in seeking out help in others...For each and every person finding "God"- that love, peace, refuge is different and I for one love the beauty in that....



All that being said, Happy Soul Project is not about negativity, confrontation or judging...However, I am writing this post for the record for y'all to know LOUD & CLEAR- I am 100% a believer in God, Fate, Karma, Equality & LOVE....That means I believe everyone has a right to believe what they want, love who they want & become who they want to be based upon all of that...



Surprisingly, I have received a few messages & comments about my LAST POST- Comments that I won't publish on the blog because I don't want an ongoing debate and messages I will not respond to personally...People have wrote asking how I can believe in God & condone "that awful behaviour" of being gay & quoting scriptures....Some wrote that I am suppose to be an example of what a "Christian" is and that my blog should be used as a platform. Others warned me that because of what I wrote and my beliefs, I will lose or a lot of followers/readers will "walk away" from the blog...



Walk...Please Sweet Jesus, Walk...Walk away from me, from Happy Soul Project & please don't ever send or make comments of that sort again...



Yes, my blog is a platform and here's what it's preaching once again: LOVE IS LOVE!!! Regardless...


My mind will never change about this...My heart will always feel this way- And I'm sorry to lose you but please walk away...



Big tip in life folks- Live your life without judging & see how much happiness comes of it...Why should you even care who loves who? Focus on loving who you need to love in your own life & less on who others should or shouldn't be...


So, to those who will be walking away from Happy Soul Project- I wish you well, hope you change your mind & open your hearts and see the beauty in the differences we all have...
