wonderful, that you brought so many like-minded people together. It's refreshing to see that this in itself is a shared religion.

That is a good juicy sentence in a post full of them! Agreed!

What a great post. "I believe in creating your own reality, in taking responsibility for your happiness and not being passive in the flowing current of your life." This DEFINES how I try to live my life – I spent too long passively just "waiting" for things to be the way I wanted them to be until one day I woke up and realised I had the power to ACTIVELY shape life the way I wanted it to be. And it's been a tough journey, and full of throwing myself into scary situations, but the only way to do it is to have the courage to push yourself out of your comfort zone. It's too easy to stay confined to it and just wish without actually doing anything, and we all have the power to be an active participant in the shape of our lives.

I do believe that there is a power that is higher than each of us individually, but I don't believe that we are "controlled" by whatever it may be. We have individual choice to live with integrity, to be kind, to be giving, to create our own happiness. We have the responsibility to chase our dreams, to tune into our intuition, to live with purpose.

I just don't think we're the end all, be all.

Nicole, I LOVE this post. It may be my new favorite of yours, sunshine. Articulate, lush & inspiring. xoxo

[...] blogs lately on crises and looking into yourself. One of my favorites, more recently, stated that doors open for you when you are ready to walk through them. So, finally on my journey, I’m walking the talk. And I’m not sure if it’s [...]

I believe that I also love this post. I'm actually a very spiritual person, but many of my closest friends are not. And yet, some of the greatest conversations I've ever had about my faith, religion, and spirituality…have been with them. I believe in being a good person and understanding when what's right trumps what's religious. I think the more we understand and challenge our faith, the better and stronger it becomes…no matter what you believe. My sweet Shine calls such religion, Don't be an A-hole. Pretty catchy I think. Great post lady!

I believe you can have Jesus Christ as your savior without having to blindly follow everything the church says. Love, forgiveness and acceptance can go a long way.

I keep it as simple as possible. There is a god. I'm not it. Anything else is someone else's idea.

This post is fantastic. I couldn't agree more with EVERY word you said. I tried to pick out my favorite sentence, and I just…couldn't.

I'll settle with this: "I believe we’re not just capable, but powerful, far more electrically powerful than we ever give ourselves credit for."

You are fantastic!!!
