"Often the degree to which we oppose a thing
marks the degree to which we don't understand it."
Howard Thurman
I want to be sure that you don't miss this coming Sunday at the Symphony of Life. We have a special guest speaker, Suzi Lula, Agape Licensed Spiritual Counselor. Suzi's topic is "From Surviving to Thriving." To continue the conversation, right after service at 12:30, she will be doing a workshop entitled: "Thriving: It's Your True Nature." She is asking a love donation of $10 (no one will be turned away). She tells us "We can't give away what we don't have. The more we THRIVE in our life, the more we have to share with others. Please join together with others dedicated to THRIVING, as you:
- Experience abundance, prosperity and opulence as your true nature
- Release old ideas of struggle
- Nurture your Spirit to better nurture those around you
- Make radical self care your road to riches
- Create and live from your own overflow
"When you THRIVE, all those around you can THRIVE as well." I look forward to seeing you this Sunday!
In peace and love,
Rev. Karen Wylie
