 Director's Note
More Dr. Wayne Dyer Summer Wisdom:
"Refuse to allow yourself to have low expectations about what you’re capable of creating. As Michelangelo suggested, the greater danger is not that your hopes are too high and you fail to reach them; it’s that they’re too low and you do. Have within you an imaginary candle flame that burns brightly regardless of what goes before you. Let this inner flame represent for you the idea that you’re capable of manifesting miracles in your life.
In every single case of a person experiencing a spontaneous healing or overcoming something that was considered to be impossible, the individual went through a complete reversal of personality. They actually rewrote their own agreement with reality. To experience Godlike spontaneous miracles, you must have a sense of yourself as Godlike. The Scriptures say, “With God all things are possible.” Now tell me, what does that leave out? A mind that’s open to everything means being peaceful, radiating love, practicing forgiveness, being generous, respecting all life, and most important, visualizing yourself as capable of doing anything that you can conceive of in your mind and heart. Whatever universal law that has ever been utilized to manifest a miracle anywhere, any time, and in any person is still on the books. It has never been repealed, and it never will be. You possess the same energy, the same God-consciousness, to be a miracle worker—but only if you truly believe and know it within yourself.
Understand that what you think about expands (“As a man thinketh, so is he”). If your thoughts are filled with doubt and you have a closed mind, you will of necessity act upon those closed-minded doubts, and you’ll see evidence of your thinking virtually everywhere you are. On the other hand, should you decide (make no mistake about this, it is a choice) to have a mind that’s open to everything, then you’ll act upon that inner energy, and you’ll be the creator as well as the recipient of miracles wherever you are. You will experience what Walt Whitman meant when he wrote, “To me . . . every inch of space is a miracle.” - Excerpted from 10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace.
This Week's Angel Affirmation: "In order to succeed, we must have the courage both to fail and to try again."

"Puppy Power Art and Games" with Jeannine
Everybody loves puppies! And our friend, Jeannine Carey, is a wonderful artist who can help us learn how to draw them. The tips we learn will also help us become better at drawing in general. And get ready to play some dog-related games like Red Rover. It'll be a Sunday to raise the "woof"! |

UNS Potluck Barbecue Picnic on August 25 after the Service
Fun, food, and fellowship. UNS provides the hot dogs, burgers, and veggie burgers; you sign up to supply buns, salads, sides, desserts, or beverages. The sign up sheet will go up in July. We're also looking for event volunteers (set-up, grillers, clean-up), so look for that sign-up sheet, too!
There will be games and prizes for the kids. Uniteens and YOUers can earn service hours for their fall retreats by running the games, and should see Kate if interested.
One of the most fun activities of the year, and a great farewell to the summer. Put it on your family's calendar today!
