I am filled with Faith.  I know the Christ presence blesses me and provides for me in all areas.

It is my joy to share a few personal thoughts on the power of FAITH.  My understanding of Faith is that it is the powerful creative faculty within us that allows us to look beyond appearances of lack or limitation, and to hold steadfast to the spiritual truth of our being and the perfection of God's unfolding plan within us. 

Let's celebrate Unity this week in a big way.  Unity ministers from around the world are gathered in Kansas City to bring our consciousness ever higher, ever deeper into oneness.  Join us!

The song “Summertime” has the phrase, “Summertime and the livin’ is easy.”  What is your favorite summer activity?  What brings you joy and renewal?  How do we renew our mind, body and Spirit?  It’s an important question.  It’s something to consider and then make a choice to tend to our own wholeness.  Put it on the calendar.  Take a pause. Breathe.

In the wake of my brother’s death, I am thinking about a life well lived.  I’m inviting you into the conversation.  What really matters as we share our consciousness on this planet?  I listened to a few podcasts and tuned into my heart. 

My heart breaks as I hear the Middle East happenings along with Ukraine/Russia issues and other spots around the globe.  It brings me back to how do I ‘be peace’ in a world of fighting?  It is an important question and others are asking it. 

On Sunday I told a great parable about chickens and an eagle.  The eagle represented our divine identity as beings of unlimited power and potential.  The chickens were the part of our minds telling stories of fear, limitation and old disempowering stories.  The bottom line is to ask, “Who am I?” 

It’s a great time to take in the beauty outside.  I believe we need to connect with nature now more than ever.  It calms our being.  It expands our hearts and brings our minds into focus.  When our body makes direct contact with the earth, it can have positive effects on our overall health and well-being. 

We all share the experience of having a mother.  Some moms were/are more capable of being present to their children, and so there are many experiences of being mothered.  In Unity, we all have the possibility of having Mother Myrtle influence our spirituality.  What a great light!

As we start a new month and season, I share these lovely words from Rev. Scott Awbrey:

“In the month of May, the earth becomes a prayer - blossoming, breathing, bringing new life into the world.  On May Day, we celebrate the turning of the season, the dance of renewal, and the sacred marriage of earth and sky.  It is as if creation leans forward, whispering, ‘Begin again.’  In prayer we join the sacred rhythm, not only speaking to the Divine, but listening - letting our hearts be tilled like soil, open to renewal.  And just as spring doesn’t rush its blooming, we too are invited into the slow and steady power of regeneration. Within us lies the same Life Force that beckons the bud to bloom, the spirit to rise, and the soul to remember what it came here to be.”
