Discovering Spirit Within

Why would anyone say “Never Meet Your Heroes?” Revs. Deborah and Donna engage in a deep discussion about how we project our hopes and dreams on other people and are often disappointed. This leads to the awareness that we are always projecting. That projection is our picture of our personal world. Becoming aware of when and what we are projecting can help us build a happier and more fulfilling life.
