What are your favorite gifts to give? Are those gifts similar to what you like to receive? During our annual commitment program, we are planning to give some gifts to our congregation. As you may know, the commitment program is a time set aside to renew our commitment to our spiritual home. That renewal involves…
“Where two or more are gathered in my name, I am there in the midst of them.” The other night I found myself carpooling to a sacred circle in a silver sedan with Dr. Heather, Rev. Pattie, Diane Henessey and Doris Palardy. I looked around the car and felt honored to be surrounded by such…
As beings on a spiritual path, we understanding that manifesting our good on the outside requires goodness and light on the inside. But, it goes beyond just positive thinking.

Recently I began a five-week prosperity class based on what I have learned about prosperity since I became a metaphysician. I already felt God’s Presence and I was not quite ready to look at the ways in which my life was not working. (This, I would eventually come to see, was a lack of prosperity.)…
