How Do You Block Your Success? 

I substitute teach to supplement my income.  It's always an interesting experience, some day being refreshing, some days being exhausting.
Today I am the co-teacher (special education) for English.  I move from teacher to teacher each class period and help where I can.

 Today I was sitting in the back of the room and I picked up the book "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury.  I opened to a random page and this quote jumped out at me so I wrote it down to share: "All of us have photographic memories, but spend a lifetime learning how to block off the things that are in there."


You know Spirit talks to us all the time, continually giving us clues as to how you and I can be who we really are.  You and I are spiritual beings having a human experience.  So what does that mean?  That means all the answers we will ever need live inside of us, awaiting our awakening. All the joy, peace, contentment, love, abundance is already ours!!!  All we have to do is remove the blocks to our awareness.

There is a saying: "If you no longer feel close to God, who moved?".  So what causes the blocks?  Life experiences and our humanness which is often controlled by our EGO (Easing God Out).  Life is not always a pleasant, happy experiences but that does not mean that we have to be unhappy because of it.  Some of the blockages can be hidden from our consciousness and need to be brought to the surface to be removed.

One of the biggest blocks is unforgiveness.  We harbor and feed our resentments, anger, distrust, our pain , our hurts and our sorrows.  Forgiveness is  VERY POWERFUL , FREEING EXPERIENCE.  Who do we need to forgive?  Others, ourselves and God.   

Last Sunday I shared the ancient Hawaiian Healing method called H'OPONOPONO, a powerful way to heal yourself and thereby heal othrrs.  It consists of four phrases: "I'm Sorry", "Please Forgive Me", "Thannk You", "I Love You".  A H'OPONOPONO meditation can be found at the ministry website:  www.unityofsoutwhesternpa.org/music/ 

You can download the meditation onto your computer and listen to it as often as you need.


This Sunday we will continue to forgive others ad I have another forgiveness meditation to share.  If you are interested in removing your blockages in a safe and loving environment then you are invited to join us.
Bikes 4 Kids needs your help.  We have quite a number of bikes that need to be repaired.  It is a wonderful experience to give in this way and serve our community. When you see the faces of the kids that come to receive a bike all the efforts and work put in to the project is well worth it. 

The giveaway is May 21st and I just learned that Officer McGruff will be joining us and giving away 20 youth bicycle helmets and doing finger painting with the kids.


I also need help that day....for anyone interested in helping on the 21st I will let you know the process after the Sunday services.  Parents must apply for a bike and verify that they are low-income.  Applications are available at Connellsville Community center Thrift Store, Connellsville Community Ministries and online at www.connellsvillebikes4kids.com.

Two repair days are schedule on April 9th and the 30th. from 11:00 AM-3:00 PM at the old fire hall on Arch street, next to City Hall in Connellsville.  Lunch provided for all volunteers..
Experience the joy, peacefulness and calmness of meditation by coloring!!  Yes it's true, adult coloring is as effective as meditation.  While coloring your brain does calm down and when your brain is calm your body is calm as well.  It is a fun way to relax.  The first Wednesday (April 6 this month) of every month I am facilitating an adult coloring meditation group at the Dunbar LIbrary from 6:00 pm until 7:30 pm.  All materials provided.  Free,  A love offering/donation basket will be available. 
We have child care during our Sunday Celebration service and in the future we hope to have a Youth Education program.  In the meantime if you have a friend you'd like to invite let them know child care is available for all ages.
POTLUCK APRIL 17th

I am excited to share that we are growing as a spiritual family and are having our FIRST POTLUCK on April 17th after the Sunday Celebration service.   This will be the first of many!!  It would be a great time to bring a friend or two or three.....If you have not been to a service for awhile then come and join us for good food, great conversation and great people.
All are welcome to join us!!!
ONLINE CLASSES????
Is anyone interested in an online class?

If taking an class online in the comfort of your own home sounds good to you let me know what you might be interested in:  Unity teachings, forgiveness, prosperity, spiritual laws, a closer relationship with God, prayer, healing techniques,  meditation,  or a specific book or something else that may interest you.  These are just some ideas...let me know what you may be interested in an I  will see what we can work out together.
 
Steering Committee

It's time for a Steering Committee to be formed.  We are growing and this is the first step on our journey to becoming a Unity ministry instead of an expansion ministry.  What is a steering committee?  Here is a great definition:  a committee that decides on the priorities or order of business of an organization and manages the general course of its operations.  We will have a monthly meeting after a Sunday service or online. If you feel called to serve in this way let me know. I would like to have this in place by May 1st.  This is an exciting development.
OUR MINISTRY VISION BOARD
 

Creating a ministry vision board is probably one of the most valuable visualization tools available to us as the Unity of Southwestern Pennsylvania spiritual family. This powerful tool serves as your image of the future of Unity of Southwestern Pennsylvania- a tangible representation of where you and I and this ministry are going. It represents your dreams, your goals, and your ideal ministry/ church.
 

Because your mind responds strongly to visual stimulation-by representing your goals with pictures and images-you will actually strengthen and stimulate your emotions...  and your emotions are the vibrational energy that activates the Law of Attraction. The saying “A picture is worth a thousand words,” certainly holds true here.

If you have already thought about what you would like to see Unity of Southwestern Pennsylvania become, it’s time to illustrate them visually.  So let's keep those images and positive phrases and words coming!!
