I am enjoying Unity’s booklet, Healing A Thousand Different Ways.  Rev. Sandra Campbell is pondering the gift of laughter.  I am all in when it comes to laughter.  It soothes the soul and does many things to help our bodies.  It releases endorphins, strengthens the heart, increases oxygen intake, relaxes muscles and shifts perspective.  

Knowing there is only One Presence and One Power, we join with world spiritual leaders to honor the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism.  He turned 90 on July 6, 2025.  He has taught compassion, mindfulness, and interfaith harmony around the world.  

Happy holiday weekend!  I celebrate the freedoms that are available as a part of this country and look forward to a day when every person in our world will enjoy being able to express their true essence, regardless of race, color, creed or sexual orientation.  I look forward to the day when

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

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?”
