Rev. Celeste's guest is Leadership Development Coach, DEI Facilitator, Author, Workshop Presenter and Coach, Glodean Champion (GlodeanChampion.com). She helps her clients to move from where they are to where they want to be.

Glodean's book is entitled "Salmon Croquettes". It is a novel about a 12-year old girl navigating through her sexuality. Glodean holds book readings where she also cooks a salmon croquettes meal! She does this as an homage to her mother who made them weekly.

Ms. Champion became an educator after a career in mid-management corporate environments. She went where Spirit led her, and she loves teaching. After George Floyd died, she was led to do something to help. She knew she could give love, be love and teach love. She would tell people in Monterey that she loves them and paying forward in restaurants. After encouraging people to love themselves, she realized that she needs to love herself.

The personal development work came from looking inward and being able to protect and take better care of herself. She knew she wasn't alone in giving to others while forgetting who we are. She started posting on social media and people would ask how. She realized that she should do the work. The personal development work and the DEI work became her focus in the last few months. She has been building her coaching work and attracting many more clients.

Glodean grew up in the church but found that the people who were telling her to do things were hypocrites. She finally found Rev. Joan Steadman (https://www.agapebayarea.com) in the 90's at Oakland Center for Spiritual Living and had a transformational moment. It made sense to her and made a big change in the way she moved through the world.

Glodean is also a Six Sigma Black Belt. Six Sigma is a quality and process improvement methodology. It eliminates variation and therefore defects. In Lean Six Sigma, the objective is to eliminate waste. Glodean pays attention to the people and not just the process.  She was chosen to do the work because she had good relationships and got things done. Glodean supports management in trusting people and empowering them. It moves people from "me" thinkers to "we" thinkers. Pete, who trained her, was truly a leader because he didn't make her feel bad for making a mistake. He helped her course correct in a way that was supportive.

Glodean found her birth family this year. Her 16-year old birth parents were in love and allowed her adoptive mother to have her because they knew she was going to love her and take care of her. Her mother was one of 36 single Black women who was able to adopt at that time. (https://www.childwelfare.gov/topics/adoption/nam/)

Glodean shares Love messages on social media platforms. It started with the George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breanna Taylor murders. She felt we give nonsense so much power. When one recognizes Love, they wouldn't act that way. She chooses to help people who are willing, to love.

Her upcoming webinar is DEI Done Differently on November 16th. Get more information about it here: DEI Done Differently | Glodean Champion

Glodean is on LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram.

Rev. Celeste's guest is recovery coach, author, renown vocalist, speaker,  and recording artist, Ester Nicholson (Ester Nicholson – Recovery Coach • Author • Speaker • Recording Artist (wordpress.com). As a vocalist, she has worked with Rod Stewart, Bette Midler, Brenda Russell, Al Green, Faith Hill, Beyonce, Carol King, Barbara Streisand and many others.

Ester's story is about a girl who wanted to be accepted.  She didn't feel that she was good enough, and that she didn't belong. She smoked marijuana with the kids. She got pregnant at the age of 16. She also was addicted to the attention of men. Her father died. And she wanted to feel safe. Then, she got introduced to and addicted to crack cocaine for 6 years. She had to give up her daughter for two years so she would not drag her in the streets in the middle of the night looking for crack - because she couldn't stop.

Ester became afraid of living that demeaning life. When she decided to go into recovery, she used the 12 steps to establish a relationship with God.  On November 1st, she will be sober for 35 years.

Ester made a decision to turn her will and her life over to the care of a Power greater than her - God. The God of her father, the Baptist minister, of her mother and community wasn't personal to her. She knew she had to get "home" to God. Something in her soul was remembering who she was. The spiritual principles of the 12 steps (What are the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of AA? (alcoholicsanonymous.com) allowed her to have a personal relationship with God. She had a spiritual experience that transformed her life. She was God.

She started to release the energy that was blocking her from that experience. She discovered that she had to keep going deeper. A lady she sponsored invited her to Agape. Ester started taking classes at Agape (Agape Live – AgapeLive). Ester came to understand God was in her and was her. That education and being around that consciousness shifted her. Ester was led to bridge the gap between metaphysical teachings and the 12 steps of recovery. She became a licensed spiritual practitioner (What is a CSL Licensed Practitioner? - Spiritual Development) and she has been now for 26 years.

One must be in alignment with God rather than rely on other people's jargon and dogma.  Ester has to check in a few times a week to remain in alignment with God. She is a testimony of what is possible when you make yourself available to God.

Ester's book: "Soul Recovery: 12 Keys to Healing Addiction" follows the 12 steps. Step one says when one's life has become unmanageable, allow yourself to be divinely guided and directed.  The first key is to get out of your own way. The second key is to be restored to your True Self. You can find the book and more about Ester at estermail.com and her community there. And you can also find the book on Amazon (Soul Recovery - 12 Keys to Healing Dependence: The 12 Steps for the Rest of Us—a Path to Wholeness, Serenity and Success).

Ester was terrified with the 11th step because it required her to meditate. Once she did, it was orgasmic and she was hooked. She later became mindful of her attitude outside of meditation.

Ester has written a few songs that came through divine inspiration in meditation. 

Ester will be part of "Celebrating Our Soul" in August 2022.

Rev. Celeste discusses her personal beliefs about the journey of the soul, acquiring wisdom and life in this dimension. She shares what she has learned from her self-reflection about bias and how it colors her perception of the mundane activities of living. She references thoughts from Emilie Cady (H. Emilie Cady - Wikipedia),  Ernest Holmes (Ernest Holmes - Wikipedia) and Emma Curtis Hopkins (Emma Curtis Hopkins - Wikipedia). She uses the imagery of running a race to achieve her soul's goals. And she invites us to pray for someone rather than reacting to their behavior. She reminds us that our triggers come from the places within us that need healing.

She reflects on her ministry as part of day-to-day living and examines whether her loyalty is to God or to ego. She invites us to recognize that if I have a problem with someone, it's me that has the problem. She tells us that prayer is not simply being a beneficial presence for another, but as a means to heal ourselves. Rev. Celeste shares that her sermons are not simply for the person in the pew, but for herself.

Celeste shares how she was startled by her own behavior by not being a blessing to someone,  but being a barrier to them. She explores hypocrisy in terms of unconscious responses that diminish any creation of God. Rev. Celeste suggests examining where our allegiance is. Is your loyalty to a value or to your ego?  She shares that one does not lose anxiety or become immune to challenges just because you are in ministry.

She invites us to consider whether or not we have an addiction to being upset. Celeste shares that it is important to be grateful. When you respond in a negative way to someone's behavior, you are standing in the need of prayer.  She requests prayer from spiritual colleagues and friends who study A Course in Miracles (acim.org), Unity (Unity | A Positive Path for Spiritual Living), and Religious Science (Religious Science - Wikipedia) teachings.

As a result, Celeste realized that we can be more kind to ourselves. She opines that being kind to ourselves and forgiving ourselves is counterculture to the United States culture, which feels punitive. We have been conditioned to punish someone who does something we do not approve of them doing. We find many ways to separate ourselves from each other e.g., race, sexuality, gender or political parties and more. Yet, we have one Source.

Rev. Celeste reminds us that Spirit is a living energy.  Gott and Elohim (Elohim - Wikipedia) are names for God, but she prefers Elohim because it means "the living one" and Spirit is a Living Energy.  She sometimes calls Her Divine Mother. Rev. Celeste finds it humorous that Divine Mother created us so uniquely different - in and out of religiosity, purity, pro-life, or pro-choice.

Jesus the Christ asked God to forgive them for they know not what they do. We do not know when we are being judgmental, isolationists, or accusers who try to determine who is right, worthy or good. We deflect, minimize and judge ourselves. We can be so afraid of our Light, that we put ourselves in darkness as punishment. Other people are not the problem; fear is the problem. We have the victory because we are made out of Love. That's all Jesus was saying! Love wins. There is no opposite to love. Fear only has the power we give it. We have the victory!

Rev. Celeste's guest is Robert Raymond Riopel, an international best selling author, app designer, entrepreneur and a trainer who has traveled the world inspiring people to tap into their greatness.  His clues open others to the possibilities that lie within them.

He was taught that working hard for a company and staying for 25 years and being loyal would lead to financial stability.  He learned that wasn't really true.  However, after a lot of  stumbling, bumbling, making mistakes and learning, and with amazing people who wouldn't let him play small, he found a way to be happy, successful and financially prosperous.

He kept losing jobs and the only jobs left in Alberta, Canada were delivering pizzas. He soon became a manager, his wife became his assistant, and they worked from sun up to sundown daily. They qualified to be a franchisee.  They got 100% financing, but they didn't know how to run a business. They were spending more than they were earning. Over $150,000 in personal debt, he was in deep financial stress. They went to a three-day training with T. Harv Eker and  took ownership of their debt. As a result, they got out of debt in nine months.

Robert found that his passion was teaching. T. Harv Eker (www.harveker.com) made Robert his first protege', and Robert learned to train people. Robert has trained over a half a million people on these principles. In 2005, T. Harv Eker wrote his book "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind". If you buy the package, one would get 50 copies of the book. It's how he became a bestseller the week the book came out.

Rev. Celeste heard Robert talking on Mindvalley (www.mindvalley.com) about VITAL.  VITAL is a master key that can open any door. V is for virtuoso. Being T. Harv's assistant, Robert was serving by doing menial tasks for him with a smile. Become a virtuoso (by learning) and be of service. I is for making an impression. T. Harv asked Robert if he was ready to take over at the end because he made an impression on T. Harv. T stands for tractable. You have to be teachable. A is for Attitude. He keeps a gratitude journal and writes in it daily. COVID has given him deep connections with people he hasn't talked to in years. While doing the gratitude journal, he would think of a person and leave them messages about a memory that changed his life. It didn't matter whether or not they responded. He suggests reaching out to three people a day asking people how they are. Be present in that conversation. That connection may help someone. L is for loyal. Be loyal to your own dreams. Don't give up on yourself.

Robert loves to teach. And he's forgiven himself numerous times. He suggests that we learn to be more gentle with ourselves. If you can't love yourself, you can't love others, and you become needy. Appreciate people for who they are and that is a reflection of how you view yourself. People will be attracted to you, not who they want you to be.

Robert suggests that you courageously allow life to live you. You get to decide how to respond when crap happens. He overworked and he ended up having three back surgeries. When a dog attacked him, he realized that he wouldn't have been able to use his gift if the dog had reached his jugular. He didn't get angry. He got the lesson that everything happens for a reason and that reason is there to serve me. It gives you the ability to respond favorably.

Go to robertriopel.com and download the full digital copy of "Success Left a Clue". He invites you to not let the book sit, but take the actions suggested and become successful. Your life will be elevated to a new level.

Rev. Celeste's guest is Petia Kolibova. She helps women who have been playing it small because of toxic relationships or unhealed childhood trauma. Her mission is to help women move through their limiting beliefs and internal blocks, so they can do what they want to do, and serve other women in a powerful way.

Petia grew up in the Czech Republic where her father was abusive. She later became suicidal and attempted to take her life because she believed what others told her about who she is.

Louise Hay (www.Louise Hay.com) saved her life because when Petia was 28, she was considering suicide again, but she knew something needed to change. Petia Googled learned how to overcome suicidal thoughts and  her eating disorder. She found Louise Hay's information about affirmations and self-love. She started to listening to her and Joe Dispenza (www.DrJoeDispenza.com) and Tony Robbins (www.tonyrobbins.com). They gave her hope that it can get better.

Petia said the positive affirmations cannot be just words you say. Louise Hay invited her to go to the mirror and say "I love you". She guided her to say "I am willing and open to accept myself." She learned how to use believable affirmations. When one says I'm a millionaire and you can't pay rent, the subconscious mind will say, that's not true. She came to use phrases that she can believe like "I am always taken care of" or "I am always guided". Petia uses affirmations when she is focusing on something. The practice will change our feelings and those feelings will determine the thoughts we have; and that will determine the steps we take and the results we have.

Petia left the corporate world and took her life back. She had an inner feeling that there must be something more and I'm not living it. She felt suffocated and that she was not living her truth. She was always guided. When she didn't listen, she was kicked forward to something better. She believes that God will always leave the bread crumbs for you to follow. She knew she had to be radically honest with herself.

She had too many opinions people didn't like, so she was fired from her job. Her basic bills were not covered. She was at a low point. Petia was left with no money, so she helps women to plan. She started a social media marketing agency with two clients. The Universe guided her along every step of the way. She learned to listen to what feels right and true.

Petia made a shift when she started her spiritual personal development. She was on her knees crying. She knew she didn't want to live like that. She noticed different progressive nudges. She saw how she was treated. She divorced her unfaithful husband. She decided not to settle for a job where she is not appreciated.

Petia always knew she was meant for more. Petia loves doing in-person work. She is moving to Tulum, Mexico and hosting a retreat on 11-11-2021 for men and women with her husband, who coaches men. She works with women one-on-one with their transformations. She has an online mini course called "Unapologetically Worthy" (Mini course (thinkific.com)) for those who are not ready to work with a mentor one-on-one. She helps women to build a strong foundation of self-love and worthiness.  She has a course about abundance for people who want to deepen their relationship with money (Manifest Money Effortlessly Freebie (thinkific.com)).

You can find Petia at www.petiakolibova.com.

Rev. Celeste's guest is Dr. Alison Kay, a pioneer in the field of energy medicine and holistic thriving. She is a master mind-body Energy Medicine practitioner, and yoga & meditation teacher for more than 25 years. Dr. Kay founded the Vibrational UPgrade™️ System. She was the host of  Voice America’s Empowerment channel, called Create Your Best Life Ever. 

Dr. Kay is the author of the award-winning book What If There’s Nothing Wrong, and two international best-sellers Vibrational UPgrade: A Conspiracy For Your Bliss – Easing Humanity’s Evolutionary Transition and Reasonable Dragons: How to Activate the Field of Possibilities Where Logical Magic Is the New Normal which was an international best-seller within 48-hours of its release. Her fourth international best-seller is also on Amazon.com: The Dragon Master Creatrix: Conversations with a Female Spiritual Teacher for these New Times: 9781950075256: Kay PhD, Alison, Marks, Philip S, Marks, Ginger: Books

Dr. Alison discovered energy connection as a small child in the woods near her home. She allowed the connection to grow. As a teen, she attempted to be a psychology major, but found that the teacher was not teaching people how to become the happiest and most thriving versions of ourselves.

She took her first yoga and personal training classes soon after. She moved to San Francisco and was reading I Ching (The Complete I Ching — 10th Anniversary Edition: The Definitive Translation by Taoist Master Alfred Huang: Huang, Taoist Master Alfred: 9781594773860: Amazon.com: Books) by the age of 19 and doing Native American Medicine Wheel work soon after. She realized that to become happiest is by approaching it with spirit.

In the ancient wisdom (Maya, Celtic, etc.)  work, she has learned there is resonance - one source beyond them all. She learned directions, honoring tree wisdom, honoring the tobacco plant, honoring plant medicine as representations of the divine and gained a new appreciation for the mystical and how to use it for the benefit of the community and the Earth.

She applies energy medicine in the UPgrade system to cut the mind-body automatic triggers and she extrapolates out the old patterns to develop new neurological pathways for new choices for permanent change. She then uses applied mindfulness using yoga and meditation.

Dr. Alison is affiliated with Buddhism and the Goddess. She has visited the Black Madonna. She trains the teachings of the Goddess. She brings out the power of the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine to remove old toxicity. She helps women empower themselves.

They discussed the Divine Feminine for a bit.

Some women go out of their body to access the Divine Feminine, but the energy is in the body. When they allow themselves to connect with the womb and solar plexus, the is an energy change in relationships and health.

She doesn't use the title "healer" because she knows there's nothing wrong. Find her at https://www.alisonjkay.com

Rev. Celeste discusses the Black Madonna.  This Goddess has revealed Herself in a plethora of ways - including her powerful energy. Some expressions and historical data of this Divine Feminine are discussed in this episode. Her paintings and statues can be found all over the world and date  back to antiquity (Black Madonna - Wikipedia). Her popular expressions are personified through Our Lady of Guadalupe (Our Lady of Guadalupe - Wikipedia) and Our Lady of Czestochowa (Black Madonna of Częstochowa - Wikipedia). Her earliest expressions are through African goddesses like Isis (The Black Madonna: Isis and The Magdalene: Book IV of The Five Books of Isis ... - Glenn Bogue - Google Books) and Oshun (Oshun - Wikipedia),

She reveals to us the many dimensions of the Divine Feminine in nature, and as vulnerability, emerging sexuality, biology and our flowering. The Divine Feminine has been reaching out to Rev. Celeste and Her Energy has her attention. The miracles have not only shown up around the world but in her life as well.

Lives have been saved through the Black Madonna as discussed in Allesandro Belloni's book ((12) Healing Journeys with the Black Madonna - YouTube) and experiences. In antiquity, we have Her expressions through Astarte, Ishtar (Ishtar | Goddess, Worship, & Facts | Britannica), the Queen Sheba (Queen of Sheba - Wikipedia) and through the daughter of Jesus, Sarah (Jesus bloodline - Wikipedia), to name a few.

After the resurrection, the story is that Mary of Magdala and Jesus, Joseph of Arithmea, the three Mary's, Jesus' brother and the children of Jesus and Mary of Magdala crossed the Mediterranean Sea to the Rome Delta. Though hidden,  stories from the Cathar region of France ( Bérenger Saunière and the Treasure of Rennes-le-Château in the South of France (sacredmysterytours.com)  reveal 12 female disciples as well. Little is known about the children of Jesus because people would not accept the humanity of Jesus, preferring to deify him rather than to acknowledge his Divine Power. Gods and goddesses are depicted in present day as superheroes and fiction while the Divine Energy is within us all.

It is said that when the Black Madonnas rise, they will bring back fruit to the tree of life and to Earth. We need that now. When they return, they may not be garbed in an ornate fashion or with a child on the lap, but with the energy of passion and the zest for life. Though she has been distorted in writing, she is deeply connected with the Earth.

Her primeval power will not be repressed and will continue to reincarnate until it is integrated in society.  The Sacred Feminine can be seen in the violent outbursts in nature. We have the mastery and primeval power of the Black Madonna. We can wield the healing presence of her daughter, Sarah (Saint Sarah - Wikipedia) to be beneficial to life on this planet. When we recognize this Power, we can recreate the Earth because she is so intrinsically part of us.

Rev. Celeste's guest today is Rev. D. Jacquelyn Edwards, an ordained Centers for Spiritual Living (CSL) minister. Rev. D. Jacquelyn served as the senior minister/spiritual director of the First Church of Religious Science - Vallejo. She is an instructor at Holmes Institute (Home - Holmes Institute). She is on the Spiritually Motivated Socially Engaged (SMSE) council as a path to justice and peace.

SMSE is the vocal arm of the Spiritual Leader of Centers for Spiritual Living (About Us - Centers for Spiritual Living (csl.org)). Centers for Spiritual Living's vision is to create a world that works for everyone. SMSE encourages the CSL communities to treat (pray) and take action as well to serve that vision.

Rev. D. Jacquelyn is a team member of the Juneteenth Symposium, "Honoring Freedom" (https://www.honoringfreedom.website/schedule) When she arrived in California, she wasn't aware of Juneteenth (Juneteenth - Wikipedia). "Honoring Freedom" will reveal wisdom through the presenters.  The event takes place on June 18th and 19th. It is a virtual celebration of Freedom and a fundraiser for "Celebrating Our Soul", an all New Thought Conference where all will come together and celebrate the African contribution to these United States. We seek to both heighten the African-American presence in New Thought and share New Thought to people of African Descent. We can bring all of who we are to this New Thought Movement.

The Celebrating Our Soul Conference by People of African Descent will be at Unity Village in Missouri, in August of 2022. Rev. Celeste is a co-chair of the Program Team for this event.

After working in the Civil Rights Movement, D. Jacquelyn knew that business acumen, strong program-based education and skills were necessary, so she studied public administration. Her mother and Rev. Ernie Forks (an early minister at East Bay Church [ebcrs.org]) taught her about Religious Science. In the book, "What Color Is Your Parachute?" (Bolles, Richard N., Brooks EdD, Katharine: 9781984857866: Amazon.com: Books), she noticed ministers, social workers and teachers were in the same corner - service. It was a natural flow for her.

While studying for ministry, D. Jacquelyn's class made an impact that resulted in the establishment of a CSL Diversity Commission.  The class discussion on race was explosive. As a result, in 2011, CSL leadership reformatted the annual conference to include more African-American speakers and an educational component on diversity. D. Jacquelyn presented Shakti Butler's (About | World Trust (world-trust.org)) work and some walked out. Nine years later at a minister's conference, Shakti Butler was received as a resounding success.

Rev. Celeste shared what the visioning process is Amazon.com: Life Visioning: 9781622030507): Beckwith, Michael: Books.

D. Jacquelyn's ministry is "Platinum Butterfly". Platinum is a strong metal and butterflies travel on the wind. They move through the world with ease and grace. Her ministry includes counseling, helping communities form their vision and mission statements and organizational development. Platinum Butterfly Ministries commits to "pollinating the spiritual core of individuals, groups and corporations."

Her experience was a closure to a happy life.  Sadness followed and the experience ended in a painful way. A question emerged: "What's next?"

Working with Spirit allowed her to open up to something greater, Spiritual Enlightenment and Truth Focus Ministry. Her work was to heal her mind and body. She sat with sacred healers and exercised different modalities. She grounded herself in the teachings of Religious Science. Jerry discovers Spirit by deepening her practice. Over a year and a half, she worked through the experiences in her body through chi gong.

Rev. Celeste's guest is Rev. Dr. Sheila McKeithen, the president of Universal Foundation for Better Living (ufbl.org). Rev. Sheila succeeded her mentor, the Rev. Mary Tumpkin. Johnnie Colemon (Johnnie Colemon - Wikipedia) founded UFBL. Sheila is the third president of this 40+-year young organization.  Dr. Sheila was invited by Les Brown to attend the Universal Truth Center for Better Living. She heard Mary preach and she knew she had to come back. Mary was studying to become a minister with Johnnie Colemon and Helen Carry (Christ Universal Temple 'living legend' Rev. Dr. Helen Ward Carry dies - ABC7 Chicago). 

Sheila saw what Mary was trying to do and she thought it was so important that she had to help her. Something in Sheila took over and decided to pursue ministry. Sheila was on a different track - as an undercover cop, then a law student, then an attorney.  Mary asked Rev. Sheila to go to Jamaica for six months. Sheila has started her 26th year of ministry.

Mary taught Rev. Sheila the importance of study so that you spoke from the overflow of what you had gleaned. You should be so full of the God Wisdom that it overflows. Always keep the well full with study.

Rev. Sheila is the Senior Minister of the Universal Center of Truth in Jamaica. Jamaica has more churches per capita than any place in the world, and they are not New Thought churches. She sees progression with the seeds she has planted. She is grateful. But this was not the first New Thought ministry in Jamaica. Unity of Jamaica was there. Temple of Light Religious Science, pastored by Rev. Dr. Elma Lumsden was there.

Sheila defied the odds when a doctor told her she had six days to live. Sheila knew the principles could be applied. She used her books, the lessons she learned and she did her spiritual work. She realized that the body is in the Mind and everything took care of itself. Her roommates saw the affirmations in her room and they all went home before her. She realized later that she was there to be a healing influence. She had the faith that whatever happened, she would never be afraid. If you can look death in the face and say you're nothing, everything else is nothing too.

Rev. Sheila hears God saying "Stop listening to everyone else and listen to me."

Sheila McKeithen remains a licensed attorney. Anyone can be a guardian ad litem for a child who is in the court system. The youth she has supported through the guardian ad litem program and the Big Sister program are doing well. Rev. Sheila is working with the schools helping to provide tablets and get support for the kids.

Rev. Sheila's highest vision for New Thought is that we will learn what New Thought is so that we are not apologizing for who we are and how we show up. We are not just a positive thinking movement. The nature of God is good and God is everywhere equally present as that Good! You have to have a core principle from which you work - in order to not be moved by the circumstances of life!

Rev. Sheila's book 12 Steps to Your Healing is available on Amazon (12 Steps to Your Healing (Be Still and Know) (Volume 1): McKeithen, Sheila R.: 9780692309261: Amazon.com: Books).

Don't give up! UFBL presents "The 15 Keys to Prosperity" 15 Keys to Prosperity is scheduled for June 25th, 2021 at 6 pm CST. Sign up on the UFBL Facebook and Instagram page.
