biological phenomenon as first love?"

Aloha from the beautiful island of Hawaii! I'm here to speak on Sunday at the Center for Spiritual Living in West Hawaii. I appreciate this time of rest and renewal which is always my experience in the Islands. This morning we went swimming in Kealakakekua Bay, looking for the dolphins who always come in to play and rest in one of the many bays along the shore. We did not see them this morning, but did get to see and appreciate a breathtaking underwater world while snorkeling in the beautiful tropical waters.
In my absence, Rev. Marilyn Miller will be the speaker this coming Sunday at the Symphony of Life. She has prepared a sacred ceremony for you entitled "Receiving Your Infinite Supply." She invites you to join her with the following words. "The promise of prosperity is deeply embedded in American values. Yet we easily forget that we must clear the channels of our hearts, minds and spirits in order to receive the prosperous blessings we desire. Through music and prayer, we will experience a community ceremony to release past injuries by laying our burdens down to create a wider channel for the divine flow to generously provide the blessing we seek."
One hundred percent of spiritual transformation is letting go! Everything is already within you. It's in the letting go and allowing that we receive the infinite supply that God has in store for us. We are here to transform our lives one step at a time. We are basically changing our circuitry, letting go of thought patterns and choices we've been making that have served us in the past but are no longer useful.
I welcome you to join us this Sunday at the Symphony of Life. It will be a wonderful experience which you will not want to miss.
Our affirmation for the day: I open myself to receive my good! I am blessed with infinite supply!
In peace and love, Rev. Karen Wylie
