THE GOOD LIFE
A New Blueprint
As summer approaches, during the month of JUNE, Reverend
Glenda and Reverend Judy invite us to join them in exploration of what it means to live 'the good life'.
They will help us find a new blueprint for our lives and redefine what we value. Key to this process is taking care of ourselves, leading balanced and centered lives, and making a positive difference in the world.
They will help us see that 'the good life' isn't always clear to us as we're living it. In fact, it's sometimes easy to miss the real point of life all together.
They will help us embrace the idea that the challenge we face in redefining 'the good life' is supported by being fully present in life and in the lives of those we love.
They will help us get in touch with the idea at 'the good life' is centered on an inner state of well-being and having the energy and freedom to create a life of purpose and meaning.
Anyone who is ready to create a new blueprint for life is encouraged to join us during the month of June. Together we will set an intention to reconnect with ourselves, our loved ones, and our community. Together we will open to thrive within 'the good life'. Please join us!
Common Ground is the place for anyone who is spiritually independent and open to spirituality without borders. We are an open accepting spiritual community where everyone is welcome.
