ascension

since 2012 began, i've noticed a huge shift in myself. a strong desire to be better than i am, and to do what i can to make the world a better place.

i recently decided to start a pescetarian diet, and i'm happy to say it has now been almost 3 months. cutting meat out of my diet actually wasn't hard at all, and i have found since not eating it, that i not only lost weight, but i feel so much better about myself, as well as feeling healthier. seth has even decided to cut red meat from his diet, and it seems he is even starting to feel guilty whenever he eats chicken. so who knows! he may also decide to be pescetarian in the near future, although it's difficult while he's living at home with a family that eats meat like it's no one's business.

i've also recently discovered a very spiritual side of me. i think a part of me has always known that their is something out there greater than us (and no, i don't mean aliens... although i believe that they exist as well), but i could never really connect with that part of me, because society and religion has instilled these ridiculous images and thoughts of what "god" is. i don't believe in some giant guy up in the sky smiling down on us... i think that's kind of ridiculous. i believe in a higher self. i believe in mother nature. i believe in source. i believe in the universe, and in energies. i also believe in jesus (although that wasn't even his real name), and i believe that he came here to demonstrate to us what humankind is really made of. he came here to show us that we are all beings of light and love. to show us that we are infinite beings, and life does not ever truly end. only our physical bodies are gone when we die. i believe that you manifest everything into your life, and nothing is coincidence. i believe that "god" or "source" is in all of us, and life on earth isn't about learning or teaching... it is simply about experience and remembering who we really are. i believe 2012 isn't the end of the world, it is actually the beginning in a lot of ways. we are all about to wake up and remember.

everything is starting to make so much sense to me, and i can't begin to describe how that feels or how good i feel lately.
