NEW FOR 2025!
Would you like to feel centered and balanced in spite of all the changes going on around you?
One of my favorite ways to do this is through a Unity teaching called "The Twelve Powers." This teaching affirms that within each one of us, there are 12 Spiritual Powers--aspects of our divine nature. When we consciously and intentionally develop and use these powers, we can experience greater peace, harmony, and balance in our lives.
The twelve powers are: 
     Faith, Love, Strength, Wisdom, Power, Imagination, Understanding, Will, Order, Zeal, Renunciation, and Life.    
     Each month in 2025, I'll be speaking about one of these Spiritual Powers at Unity of Reading and the Sacred Gathering Service in Lemoyne.  I'd love to have you join me for one of these services and discover how awakening to each power can create positive changes in your life.
      In my monthly newsletters, I'll be sharing an affirmation for the power of the month and several suggestions for applying that power in your life. If you'd like to receive copies of my newsletter, scroll to the bottom of this page and sign up.  You can unsubscribe at any time.
                                    Spiritual Power of Zeal
    Within each one of us is the spiritual power of zeal--the inner flame, the fire of the soul--that wants to move us forward to greater awareness of who we are as spiritual beings.  That power wants us to live the life we love and bring greater joy and enthusiasm to our lives.  How can we activate the spiritual power of zeal so that we can be the lights we are meant to be in our world?

“Take Up Your Mat and Walk: Do You Have the Courage to Change?”
Unity of Palmyra, September 21, 2025
If you missed this service, watch it here.
        Change is all around us.  It's life energy pushing us to grow and expand. Using the Biblical story of the man healed at the pool in Bethesda (John 5: 1-9) as a starting point, we will explore what change requires of us and how to let change be a positive force in our lives.
