The CSL Convention I attended last week truly had that WOW factor! Our Beloved Organization continues to move in a beautifully inclusive direction, putting “legs” under our intention to co-create “A World That Works for ALL.” The “Love Fest” we all experienced in Charleston was a microcosm of what the macrocosm of our world was intended to be, and I am grateful to be a part of Centers for Spiritual Living. Our Community here in Paoli (and beyond) is committed to living these principles of Unity in Diversity, and inviting Love to lead the way.

We carry our February focus of, “If Only You Could Love Enough,” into the month of March, which theme will be, “From Seeds to Sprouts.” It is in our ability to increase our Love Quotient that we find the Grace to co-create more conscious, caring, compassionate intentions into our individual and collective lives. The Law of Growth, always at work, receives these creative intentions and acts upon them, bringing greater and greater joy into the world.

This Sunday’s Celebration will be another IN-PERSON opportunity to enjoy each other’s company at the Inspiration Café in Paoli, PA at 10:30 A.M. EST. Register online to assure yourself a seat.  Those not in the area may join us online by going to our website www.cslphilly.org and pressing the orange “Watch Live” button to participate with us in an hour or so of music and inspiration. My topic will be, “The Working of the Word.”

On March 17^th, a very special shared Sunday morning will take place at Center of Peace, 5712-14 Greene St., Philadelphia, PA 19144, at 11:00 A.M. EST. Rev. Twana Malone and I will share the pulpit, the guest musician will be EDDIE WATKINS. JR., and he will also provide an afternoon concert on a love offering basis. Our “Sister Centers” are both very excited about this beautiful opportunity, so plan ahead to be present. More information click here.

Be sure to scroll through our website to find current offerings of classes and in-person activities, as well as past Celebrations and Love Notes, and our all-important Practitioner Page. Here you will find caring, compassionate professionals who are happy to lift you from problem to possibility, using our spiritual tools and providing affirmative prayer to reveal a greater truth in your life.

With great love and respect,

Today, I am attending Centers for Spiritual Living Business Meeting at its Annual Convention here in Charleston, South Carolina. We continue enjoying outstanding speakers, inspiring workshops, fabulous music, and great camaraderie with conscious, caring, compassionate, and clever colleagues. We have brought a keen consciousness of Love to this southern community, not only enjoying its beauty, but discovering more of its actual history. We are aware of the inequity and injustice many of our brothers and sisters experienced over the past 200 years; yet, we are determined to continue encouraging and inspiring greater unity, respect, and possibility with our presence here.

As Emma Curtis Hopkins stated, “Awareness is curative,” so we must acknowledge anything still out of alignment with Truth, along with respect, acknowledgement, and appreciation for all beings. This Global Spiritual Community is committed to co-creating “A World That Works for Everyone,” truly, “A World That Works for All.” Here, in this environment of oneness, harmony, open-hearted communication, and mutual respect and admiration, we are experiencing such a world, a microcosm of the macrocosm of the greater human race. We can be encouraged that so many people are aligning with Divine Love and Infinite Wisdom to bring about what we have been praying about: “Heaven on earth.”

I’ll be returning in ample time for Sunday’s Virtual Celebration, livestreaming from the Inspiration Café in Paoli, PA at 10:30 A.M. EST.   Join us online by going to our website www.cslphilly.org and pressing the orange “Watch Live” button to participate with us in an hour or so of music and inspiration.

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, and we wish you plenty of love. The Greeks had several words for love: Eros – romantic love; Storge – familial love; Philios – friend love; and Agape – Divine Love. All forms of love flow from the Heart of the Divine, each having an important role in human life. It is when we understand that Love is an attribute of God and that we all are individualized manifestations of God’s Life that we realize our Essence to be Love Itself. How we express that Love has everything to do with how happy, successful, and in tune with life we are.

I still send Valentine Day cards to my grandchildren and to my adult children, all containing fun stickers for them to use however they wish to employ them, and they continue to insist on receiving them each year! My sweetheart and I love to exchange cards and small gifts, and I always receive flowers and a lovely dinner invitation. We love to wish our friends love and more love, and we delight in the Divine Love that nourishes, heals, inspires, and guides us to every creative, constructive, and compassionate decision. You see? We can and do have it all when we open our hearts and realize that Love is the very Life Essence of us all.

This Sunday’s Celebration will be held in person at the Inspiration Café in Paoli, PA at 10:30 A.M.

News Flash: Nothing in the material world ever remains the same. The even greater news is that the Universal Creative Intelligence, available to all of us at all times, is a constant power for transformation. The moment we remove our fixed attention from the transitory facts of our lives or undesirable circumstances in the world, we then have the ability to supplant them with a new vision and intention. We know that the Power of Love dissolves all supposed evidence to the contrary and that It operates through Divine Mind to transform our consciousness into deep faith, our experiences into joyful occurrences, and our personal associations into sweet, rewarding relationships.

As we view our world through the Eyes of Love, we can also transform erroneous beliefs about separation or exclusion into warm, compassionate, respectful connections with individuals, as well as with groups of people. This is Black History Month, a perfect opportunity to re-view inaccurate beliefs and incomplete accounts about our brothers and sisters. Much has been excluded from our education about their innate value and major contributions. Now is the time to open our minds to more authentic information and our hearts to the discovery of the universal value of all people.

Let’s let Love lead the way to the joy of co-creating a “World That Works for All!” Our Beloved Community is dedicated to this sacred work. Indeed, we are a Transformation Station!
