"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful."

In the Celebration Circle we honor and nurture the Sacred in ourselves, each other, and all Creation.

Valentine's Day has come and gone, and taken all those bright red retail displays with it, but as far as I can tell, our deep-seated desire to love and be loved remains. After all, Love lies at the core of who we are and who we are becoming. That's why I invite you to spend a few minutes listening to a guided meditation on Love, which I recorded last week. You may (or may not) have listened to it earlier, when we sent it out as part of our e-greeting card from the Circle on Valentine's Day. But whether you've already heard it or not, won't you take this opportunity to truly hear this "Invitation to Love" with the ears of your heart. Simply click here to go to the home page of the Circle's website, then click on the "play" button for the meditation found near the bottom of the page. The MP3 recording lasts for six minutes; I promise it will be time well spent, as together we swim in the ocean of Infinite Love, which surrounds and sustains us. Which invites us to expand beyond our previous limitations and "makes all things new" - one moment at a time. And which reminds us that "We Are One."
In any case, thank you so much for your companionship on this ever-evolving journey of Spirit that is the Celebration Circle. Your love is a miracle!
With blessings,

THIS SUNDAY

"Sustainable Happiness"
While many people continue to grapple with financial difficulties and personal stress due to the condition of our economy, there are also countless individuals who have developed practical ways to sustain and expand their sense of well-being. Rudolf discusses some of the spiritual aspects of these strategies, woven through the heartwarming music of Byrd and Street, an Austin-based duo with an amazing flair for harmony -- check out www.byrdandstreet.com and
