February 19, 2012 Let's Create a More Loving World
Families are there to love us, guide us, and bring us to that point of
maturity---physical, emotional, and spiritual---so that we can go out into the
world, knowing the highest Truth of Who and What We Are, and, to be that light
of Oneness in the world, to let it shine, and to pass that message on. And as
we go out into the world, we find that we often expand our idea of "family" as
our love for all of humanity grows.

February 12, 2012 Love is Divine
Speaking on the subject of love and relationships, Rev. Catherine McLeod
shares with us the teachings of Oshi, a Zen spiritual guide who combines
Buddhism and Taoism into Zen, bridging them both to Western scientific
thought. He uses the dualism of the Tao to work with relationships, accepting
both the goodness and not-goodness in the other, and also in ourselves. In
fact, every relationship is really about a relationship with ourselves, and
understanding our own reality.
Rumi says, "Our task is not to seek love but to find all the barriers within
ourselves that we have built against it."

February 05, 2012 All You Need is Love
Love. Everyone has a different definition of love. Is it true: "All you need
is love"? Love is extremely important, but we also need faith, fun, joy, and
celebration!
We cannot talk about love without talking about suffering, for both lead us to
give up control. The buddha said that suffering is clinging. If we cling to
something we take to be true, when Truth knocks on our door, we won't open it.
[Richard Rohr](http://www.cacradicalgrace.org/richard-rohr) in _The Naked Now_
says that suffering is simply having the experience of something we cannot
control. "Great love and great suffering are the tools to transition from a
fear-based life to a love-based life." If we have great fear and we can't
transform it, we end up transmitting it to others.

January 29, 2012 White Stone Ceremony 2012
The White Stone Ceremony allows us to slow down, focus, and crystallize our
goals, desires, and the direction we wish to take for the coming year. Our
thoughts can be so nebulous, but when we are able to put them in writing, we
achieve a greater clarity. The White Stone Ceremony takes its origins from the
white stones---clean slates---that were given to Roman prisoners upon their
release, symbolizing their freedom and their entitlement to every good thing
granted to ordinary citizens.

January 22, 2012 Get Going
Rev. Patrick presents the practice of _Process Science of Mind_, an idea
developed by minister Dr. Arthur Chang. "Our minds should swing from
inspiration to action, from contemplation to accomplishment, from prayer to
performance. No greater mistake could be made than to think we must separate
life from what it does." It spurs us to "get going" in our spiritual lives, to
put the kernels of truth that we know into actual practice.
Rev. Patrick then introduces [a new book by Julia Cameron, _The Prosperous
Heart_](http://juliacameronlive.com/books-by-julia/the-prosperous-heart/).
"Prosperity is a spiritual matter. It is the amount of faith we have, not
cash, that determines our _feelings_ of abundance." We are encouraged to adopt
Julia's daily practice of "Morning Pages" as a way to seek clarity, comfort,
and priority in approaching our day.

January 15, 2012 Get Inspired
Rev. Patrick continues on the theme of setting intentions.
There is a subtle power within us---the essence of Spirit. Every thought
impresses an idea upon this infinite aspect of the Infinite. Its operation in
our lives is simply to support us in whatever we bring to It.
Creation is not an accident. It's part of a preparation. Our _intention_ is
really about _preparation_, preparing ourselves for Spirit's support.
Inspiration is the revelation in conscious mind beyond what the conscious mind
could come up with.

January 08, 2012 Get Centered
Intention is a prerequisite for effecting change. What is our intention for
our lives? What are the three things we will work on this year?
We will focus on the moment-by-moment care and mindfulness of growing our
consciousness, so that we can be the finest expression of an individual that
stands in co-creation with Spirit.

January 01, 2012 Out with the Old and In with the New
New Year's is a time for making resolutions. In New Thought, we can translate
this into _setting intentions_. It is also a time to reflect on the past year:
What worked well? What didn't work so well? It is a time for remembering the
people we've said good-bye to, old things we've released, and new things we've
embraced.
We were made for these times. How do we know this? Because _we are the ones
who are here_. There could be no others. And we could be no other way.

tells a story about manifesting a penguin!
