 LIFE ALWAYS FINDS A WAY “Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.” -  Carl Bard No matter what happens in the world around us, Life finds a way to move through it. A devastating fire may burn thousands of acres. The aftermath may leave a black scar on the land where trees and homes once were. Time goes by, and months later new growth comes peeking through the soil, small flowering plants begin the process of new growth. In the forest new seedlings begin to grow from the seeds that were released by pine trees that required intense heat for their cones to open. Life finds a way to move forward. The same thing applies to human beings. Challenges may seem like insurmountable obstacles until that first idea, that first stepping stone comes along. It might be a friend who shares an idea with you,  a book that beckons you to pick it up and read, or something you see in an advertisement that draws you to a group of people  th

 AND NOW WHAT? "To believe in the good alone, may seem fallacious to many, but he who thus believes willl find his path lighted by a torch which flickers, not fails."   Ernest Holmes,   -- The Science of Mind Textbook Things happen in life that my not be to our liking. We may loose faith in ourselves or the world around us; we may get angry or depressed; but we also must realize that the thing has happened, and be certain not to be dampened by circumstances. It is the time to dedicate ourselves to being the world we want to see. Now more than ever is the time to recognize and love oneanother, to see what issues and people we need to support. We can be thankful for our faith-center families and help to support ourselves and the commnity that surrounds us. Now, more than ever we need to spread kindness, compassion and love; let yourself shine brighlty. "Everything in our personal experience depends upon our mental reactions to life, and our deepest realization of the intim

  VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! "To demonstrate means to prove,to exemplify, to manufest, to bring forth, to projet into our experience somethnig betteer than we had Yesterday..." Erneset Holmes,              -- The Science of Mind Textbook It's that time of four years again, that we get out and cast our balance in the name of Democracy. Opinions of both Presidential Nominees bombard us with information. The trick is, to wade through that information and see what resontes with us, and make a thoughful decision. The more people who make that decision to vote, the better the results will speak. If you have voted already, GREAT! If you haven't, then go to the polls and cast your ballot. Ask some of you neighbors if they have had a chance to vote. If they have, GREAT! If not encourage them to get out and vote! It's only once every four years that the opportunity to vote for President comes around. Take advantage of it and VOTE! "The time is now, and the only time we can eve

 HAPPY HAUNTING  “Careful the spell you cast, not just on children / Sometimes the spell may last past what you can see, and turn against you.” — Witch, “Into the Woods” Interesting quote, isn't it? "Careful the spell you cast...Sometimes the spell may last past what you can see, and turn against you." Metaphorically, it also applies to our own selves as well, being honest with what we say, becasue it keeps you from having to remember the lie that was told about it. Also, it is a reminder to think before you speak, because words have a habit of lingering on once spoken. For me I want to leave positive footprints on the hearts and minds of the people I meet, rather than to stomp on them with both army boots. Life is too short to be unkind to others. I was a teacher for over twety-seven years, and I have realized that when some young people are angry, they sometimes don't say what they mean. A person never knows what someone else my be going through. There may have be

 THANKS FOR THE CONNECTION "Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect."                                                            -- Chief Seattle This past weekend Las Vegas Center for Spiritual living held its first New Thought in the Deser t weekend. What an amazing event it was. Installing three new assistant ministers, workshops and speakers sharing their thoughts and talents, and marvelous music inspiring us all. All of this did not happen by chance. There was a deep connection of hearts, minds and spirit creating the real life magic of the unfoldment. I thought of this connection of people working together for a meaningful experience, and I was reminded of the One Mind behind all of Creation. This event brought the right and perfect people to come together, share ideas, have deep and loving conversations, and to prepare us for numerous oppo

 ONE FOR ALL, ALL FOR ONE "Together, we may be able to plan a less painful future. Separate, we can only anticipate further ruptures and deeper loneliness."                                                                                                                                     --May Angelou,           Rainbow in the Cloud   We are all in this life together. Sometimes this may not seem to be the case. All around us we see weather challenges; people with little or no water, food or shelter; rampant lack of humanity towards people, animals; and lack of respect for our planet as a whole. We can focus on all the negativity in the world, or we can play a part, big or small in pitching in to help out where we can. Sometimes it is contributing to relief funds, assisting with those who need temporary shelter, or clearing debris from the recent storms; saying affirmative prayers for those who are suffering the loss of family and property; anything we can do makes a differenc

  OCTOBER, HALLOWED DAYS AHEAD “Magic is really very simple, all you’ve got to do is want something and then let yourself have it.” —   Aggie Cromwell , Halloweentown As October begins its pathway into fall, the leaves are turning, squirrels are making their presence known in a more obvious manner, and we are leaving some warmer weather behind. It is a time to connect with all the glorious gifts that nature has to offer. It is also a time to embrace all changes that come about with the birth of a new season and to remember: challenging, scary, or wonderfully vibrant, they are all a part of life that we journey through. Everything we have experienced in our lifetime has brought us to the right and perfect place we were meant to be. "By merely waking up and working through our day, we are creating our life experience. The trick is to really know that, and to create what we really want to happen, on purpose. In this way we create the real-life magical process of transmuting our live
