Spiritual commUNITY A positive path for spiritual living March 2016 Minister's Message "Before we can embrace peace as a way of life - we must embrace peace within us. We can't have one without the other." -Jamie Sanders We can't know peace until we become peaceful. We can't know wholeness until we think and speak wholeness as our Truth. It's a formula for successful manifesting and yet, many of us won't participate in our own awakening. Why? Because we don't want to do the work to bring about our healing and transformation ourselves; we want someone else to give it to us, fix it for us, and wave a magic wand and call it done. We are the wand, and we posses the magic within us. Florence Scovel Shinn said "Your word is your wand." Whatever is holding us back from knowing peace, being peace, has little to do with what lies outside us, but has everything to do with what lies within us. The life that we now know - was first created within our own consciousness through our thoughts, beliefs, and feelings. The only thing that can shift and change all that - is ourselves. If we are tired of drama, trauma, and unhappiness - we must commit to doing and being different. I say often - "Life won't shift and change - until we do!" Do we want peace? Then we have to BE PEACE in word, thought, action, and intention. Make amends - cleanse our past by changing our minds - shifting our intentions, and by taking positive action to be renewed in body, mind, and spirit. Accountability, responsibility, proactive intentions, and actions are the key. TODAY I AM AWARE OF WHAT IS MINE TO DO AND BE AND I DO IT. I AM CHANGED AT DEPTH WHEN I MAKE A COMMITMENT TO BE THE PEACE AND LOVE I DESIRE TO EXPERIENCE. I AM ACCOUNTABLE - RESPONSIBLE AND ACTIVE IN MY OWN TRANSFORMATION - AND SO IT IS.

Truth on Tap A Spiritual Discussion Group March 29th @ 6 p.m. Page 2 Women invited to Explore and Celebrate Feminine Consciousness The Gulf Coast Grandmothers Women of all ages from across the U.S. gather on the Gulf Coast annually to share their wisdom, creativity, and power. This year’s theme is The Evolutionary Woman: Guided by the Sacred Feminine to Pathways of Feminine Consciousness. The three-day gathering, from March 20 to 23, organized by the Gulf Coast Grandmothers, is held at Camp Beckwith, in Fairhope. The gathering is an opportunity to meet and connect with other women for inspiration and guidance through daily circles, workshops, meditation, music and healing arts – sharing laughter, tears, and more. Among the participants this year will be Kris Steinnes, the founder of Women of Wisdom Foundation in Seattle and author of the award-winning inspirational book Women of Wisdom: Empowering the Dreams and Spirit of Women. The Gulf Coast Grandmothers is a collective of women of all ages that embrace the archetype of the loving, wise grandmother. They gather yearly to reflect, rejoice, and renew spirit together, embodying unconditional acceptance and fulfilling the ancient prophecy: “When the grandmothers speak, the Earth will heal.” For more information and to register, contact Stevi Gaston at 251-432-7162, email Ruth Geraci at UURuthG@Gulftel.com or visit GulfCoastGrandmothers.weebly.com.
