Greetings Dear Spiritual Family!
I am sure you will all agree The Center is a blessing to us all. We are pioneers in establishing a unique spiritual framework that is without dogma and is instead, guided by Spirit. I am so very grateful to have a place where I can be authentic, spread my spiritual message, and share this journey with so many like-minded souls. You allow me to be who I am. I'm forever grateful we all embrace one another's authenticity.
Recently I took a few days to "dive deep" within and let Spirit guide me for some clarity as to my future and our Center's future. I would like to share with you the vision I received:
I first saw a weeping willow who was being battered around by a storm of fears. As it was uprooted by the whirling vortex of negativity, the wind shifted and gently blew an acorn into the hole left by the uprooting of the willow. This acorn began to grow swiftly into a mighty oak. The message I received was that this oak would only thrive if it was allowed to grow new branches.
My interpretation of this vision is that we must grow our Spiritual family with our message of "We are each One" - all off-springs of God.
With each new branch (person) we will gain new insights. We will educate based on the truth teachings that have gone before us. This is a synthesis, of New Thought, Ancient Wisdom, and Quantum Physics, with an emphasis on taking responsibility for our own relationship with the Divine and one another
.
We must not allow ourselves to become crystallized into one path or another.
We are being charged to think in NEW DIRECTIONS and be open to progressive revelation.
This is not an easy path - but it a vital path that is needed not only in spirituality - but in the world as well!!
We are the Mind of the Planet - we are the Heart of the Planet - and we are being charged to "thinketh in the heart".
WE NEED YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT
The Center is being challenged financially right now. We continue to improve our space both inside and out. In addition, we've had a lot of unexpected repairs and maintenance issues this year: plumbing, wood rot, holes in ceilings, road construction breaking our sign, mowing over our banner multiple times, etc. Improvements have been costly, repairs and maintenance even more so. I ask you to please remember we still have a mortgage, salaries, regular bills, and operating expenses to pay.
If this is your Spiritual home, I encourage you to continue your weekly/monthly donations whether you are able to attend service, or not. I also ask that you consider an extra year-end, tax deductible donation to help us transition into the first quarter of next year - and beyond!
With your help we will all continue to receive the special gifts our Center provides. Thank you for your generosity, and your assistance!
May your holidays be filled with love, laughter, and a grateful heart! We look forward to continuing the journey with you!
Namaste

We have more and more items showing up every week, along with many tried and true book titles from Catherine Ponder, Ernest Holmes, and other New Thought leaders.
Unity's "Daily Word" and "Science of Mind Magazine" would be wonderful inspirational gifts for your loved ones too!
