History

What is your story?
What is the view you have of your life story?
Where did you come from and why are you here?
How would you share your past, comedy, tragedy, miracle or simply your calling?

I was asked to describe my relationship with Reunion and Unity, two places I am called to serve.
When I began just moments ago, I realize the impact and true spiritual inspiration and connection I have is indescribable.
When I put words on what is a spiritual calling seems so paltry in comparison. I  chose to let it go.
I believe that words diminish the truth and make it difficult to understand.

My life is a gift.
I receive from everything I have given.
And I give in order to receive the gifts.
I am here to give.

My life is unlimited service.
I am served by everyone I serve.
I learn from everyone I teach.
I am inspired by all I inspire.

The story of my life seems so full.
I cannot possibly describe its abundance.
I live in present moment, so the past seems like a dream.
The joy of it all is found in vitality of now.

I have founded 16 holistic counseling, healing and personal growth centers and retreats in five states.
Ministered in many churches both from the pulpit and facilitating strategic planning and community service.
Volunteered to many organizations and individuals serving with abundant joy and gratitude.
Counseled and coached thousands of couples and individuals and families.
Mentored and supervised many therapists, holistic practitioners, prayer chaplains and volunteers.
Written daily these Loving Reminders and shared with now thousands around the world for almost 12 years.
Enjoyed abundant learning and teaching opportunities, always listening and following my inner voice to share the best I know.

 When you tell your stories about the past, are your reminding yourself?
When you remember your history, are you acknowledging your appreciation?
When you share your memories, are you making them more important than right now?
Are you re-living what was or fully acknowledging all that you truly are?

Simply said….my association with Unity, a church focused on practical Christianity, and Reunion, a ministry seeking to facilitate reconnection with oneself, with others and with God (Higher Power).  Both are focused on practical spiritual solutions to everyday problems. Both seek to bring people back to their inner guidance, their faith, and inner truths.  Both are designed to inspire, education and create opportunities for people to heal their past, to live with appreciation in the present and to be inspired to love, serve and remember Good.

Unity Principles made simple: 

God Is.
I AM.
Thought Creates.
Align with Love.
Live It.


Reunion Precepts:

We are all spiritual beings.
All life is inter-connected.
Love is our natural state and the unifying force of creation.
Creating what is good, beautiful and whole is our calling.
Forgiveness, freedom from judgment and fear, brings healing and love.
Relationships offer conscious awareness of blocks to love and healing needs.
We are here to learn and teach what we are learning.
We respect all People and honor all Paths.
We listen within and serve the Highest Good.
Unity is a formalized institution and global ministry.
Reunion is an informal outreach serving whatever needs are presented.
They seem to support one another in their underlying purpose.
I serve as minister, counselor, teacher, coach and friend in both, being the one I am.

I am on purpose. when I love unconditionally, serve from the heart and remember God, the Good in all things.
Life is a gift in which I remember to share the Good I know.
Loving you,
