When asked how it felt to win an Oscar, Williams replied, "The feeling lasted about a week".

 

 

Theme for July: "5 Gifts of Abundant Living"

A step-by-step process that opens the channels to receive desires of health, wealth, & relationships.

 

This Sunday: August 17th Topic: Gift #3: Forgiveness: "A Cosmic Clearing - A Tribute to Robin Williams"

 

While feeling so sad and shocked about the death of Robin Williams, I also feel deeply grateful for his gifts, his grace, his generosity and how readily he shared himself with the world. Thank you Robin, what a legacy of joy and deep insight into the human condition.

 

How challenging it is to understand our fellow human beings and appreciate their journeys, their trials and triumphs.

 

Come this Sunday. Share your tributes and insights following the transition of this brilliant, cosmically creative artist.

 

The third Gift in our monthly series on "Five Gifts of the Abundant Life" is FORGIVENESS, an appropriate topic for our times.

 

Forgiveness can feel like giving up or giving in to someone who has hurt us. Forgiving can feel like admitting what was done to us or what we did to ourselves was really not so bad.

 

But the greatest benefit of true forgiveness is a gift to the self, because forgiving releases the endless pain of replaying the hurt over and over.
