Journey of Love
May 25th
When I first stepped into the Center of Light, I felt enveloped by sincerity, warmth, and love. I was spiritually searching for this authenticity and genuineness and knew that this is where it existed in its purest form. When first meeting with Reverend David and Reverend Monica, I became aware that my pursuit of transformative More >
That I Am Loved
Sep 8th
I would like to share with you a turning point in my life. A series of events that has caused more healing than I ever thought possible. I refer to the story as the time when God forced me to accept being loved. (Now, I know God doesn’t force one to do anything, but hear More >
The Start of My Life in God
Aug 19th
I was an artist. This was just what I was and if you asked me how I was going to support myself as an artist (was I going to be a commercial graphic designer? NO!) I would get very offended because that just didn’t matter to me as much as being “free” and making art More >
So Here I Am…Living in Spiritual Community
Jul 6th
So here I am…living in spiritual community. It’s a challenge to explain to old friends and coworkers what it’s about. To simplify things, I usually end up telling people I live in a convent – even though I am not confined to the Center nor taking life vows – but it helps give people a More >
Are We Really Free?
Jul 6th
July 4th. Independence Day. The federal holiday of the United States, commemorating the Declaration of Independence. While this day released the 13 American colonies from British rule, it also heralded the foundation upon which the United States would be born. It states, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, More >
Definitely Worth the Effort
Jun 28th
I am so thankful for the Center of Light. This past Sunday, I was so happy and felt so much joy about going to the Center for our conclusion to our seminar weekend with Mother Clare. I just wanted to be surrounded and filled with the love of my teachers and community. Even though I More >
A Coffee Moment
Jun 23rd
As I sit down to write my blog this morning, I notice that I’m having something I’ve had many times before and get the sense that many others experience too: A Coffee Moment. And so I decided that I would write about coffee. Well………….sort of. It started when I was driving home from communion this More >
Learning Who I Am
Jun 18th
I’m learning a lot about who I truly am, about God, about love, about faith, freedom, connection and about humility. For most of my adult live I have lived small and scared. I have been stifled by fear, a fear of truly being myself and listening to my soul. I have made many choices out of fear - fear of More >
Learning to Be Whole
Jun 18th
I used to think that I was only as good as my last success. When I was a child, I would come home from a challenging piano lesson in tears if I couldn’t play my piece well enough. Getting anything less than an A was a heart-break and an affront to my self-esteem. Honing my More >
Witnessing the Work
Apr 27th
One of the things I love about the Centers of Light is the feeling I get when I am with my community or in the chapel with God, Jesus and Mother Mary. I feel safe. I feel connected to everyone for a common cause and it is very good. Over the past 2 years when More >
