We pulled into the right hand curb lane behind a car half blocking the driveway of the church parking lot. The passenger getting out of the car ahead of us was a young handicapped man, we assumed was the son of the mother who got out of the drivers seat to go around to shut the passenger door. As she walked back around the back of the car, she stopped and looked in the direction her son had walked. She smiled and waved glowing with love. It was a touching moment as we witnessed this precious expression.
By now, there were 2 buses in the middle lane. The bus driver opened her door to talk to us... She told us we were in a bus stop zone. We told her that we were waiting to turn into the driveway. She told us to honk our horn at the car ahead which was now hemmed in with no place to go. We tried to explain that there was a handicapped man that got out of the car. By now the car ahead of us was able to head off and we were able to pull into the driveway. The bus motored on. A moment in time viewed differently.
We realized that as well as the bus driver not having the full picture, we too had no idea of her day - perhaps she had just dealt with a difficult passenger or had stuff going on in her life or.... And then there is the mother and her son....

MEDITATION SPRINGING FORTH
Tuesday, Oct 11, 2011
My cage was rattled. What to do? The usual - procrastinate, ignore, delay, postpone... Eat something. Notice the need for comfort food. Make some microwave popcorn. Eat it. Drink a coffee (don't usually). Eat a chocolate. Watch TV. Making choices all. Finally I chose to go sit quietly, meditate on 'it'. I could ask questions, do kinesiology, but don't. Then I get, journal 'it', so I get my journal notebook and pen. Eight pages later, the words turned into this Meditation.
I ask the questions (kinesiology). Can I tell J? Should I tell J? Is it a good idea to tell J? Will she understand? Do I need to tell J? Should I talk her into going Saturday? Answers were all 'YES' So I made the phone call and what a wonderful healing Ah ha moments filled honest exchange that was so well received. Finally I had been fully understood, how refreshing. I felt cleansed. Had a shower. Writing this.
At the end of the journalling process came these words. Enjoy.
I am strong. I am powerful. I am all knowing. I am love. I am loving. I am loved. I am valuable, important. A part of the plan that fits and is needed. I do make a difference. I do matter just as I am. Perfect in everyway in each and every moment even if I forget I swing from this vine called life. I write from above through my precious heart called Love. I have a million stories to tell that sparkle like lanterns lighting my way. Building blocks all, in my pathway to heaven - this now and present moment. This moment that matters. As we bless our time here together by blessing ourselves and our journey on the movie screen called life.
Take a moment to conjure up all the love you can bring in. Imagine yourself surrounded by all your delightful, delicious moments. Moments filled with love. A favorite pet, a favorite doll or stuffed animal, a toy, your blankie, a friend or loved one, teacher, car, home, garden, nature.... Fill yourself with love. Invoke the sense of peace and wellness. Ask for this energy to flow through you expanding out into the room, the building, the community, the world and beyond. See the healing powers nurturing mother earth. Know that you are One with all. You matter. You are connected. You are beautiful. Expanding your light matters. Nowhere to go, nothing to 'do'. Just 'BE'. Show up just as you are. You are okay. A piece of the puzzle, unique and different. No one quite like you in all the world. The world would be a different place without you. As you continue to walk in the shoes you were meant to fill, know that you are exactly where you are meant to be in this moment and every moment. There are no accidents.
And from that place of loving acceptance, give thanks to yourself and to the role you play in this show we call life. Amen.

MY RETURN TO UNITY
Oct 9, 2011
LEGEND
- use of [ ] = things I notice writing this. The coincidences... the Ah Ha's...
History first. I first arrived at Unity on Mothers Day 1991. I had left a 13 year common law relationship and was living in a Transition House. [church going through transition / transition team. I have come full circle] My 1st experience was one of feeling like 'I had come home'. Other stories here for another time.
There were many 'coincidences' God wink miracles. More stories for other times. Like meeting my husband Ralph here at Unity of Vancouver. For the moment let's just say that God was at work in our lives.
Fast forward. Returning from our yearly RV camping trip down south about 4 - 5 years ago, for some reason we just never got back into attending Unity or going to the Richmond Malls daily Tai Chi exercise group weekday mornings. Two activities that we cherish. And I loved Katherine Anderson and what she had to offer. [I think I was disappointed that others didn't get the "it factor" that I saw in her]
We did go to Unity churches while traveling and did attend Vancouvers Candle Lighting Christmas services and the Easter Good Friday's. Last year I spent 3 months in and out of hospital. I am involved in a large community of friends that do energy healing and received many blessings and lots of support during this time (and before and since and always) Here in Richmond we have 7 community centres that run monthly Seniors Wellness Clinics that include Holistic Practitioner sessions for a suggested $10 donation for 1/2 hour. My niche in the healing community seems to be 'supporting and healing the healers', a community that needs their wounds healed. But I degress...
Back to the beginning of last December, Ralph said "seeing as we will be going to the Candle Lighting service we might as well start going back to Unity" So we did.
And what did we find! Perfect timing, a perfect fit for where I was at personally. A church needing healing, healing, parellelling my journey. A school walking with me, beside me, leading the way. So many wonderful stories here... WOW, thank you for rekindling the memories and invoking the feelings.
Fast forward to your weekend with us. There were many stepping stones leading the way in my life. Meeting Judith who reminded me to use kinesiology to get answers to questions. (more stories)
I was so excited with the possibility that the 2 of you would be our new ministers. My dream is to create a center of healing for the healers and the children. Somewhere that would support and encourage the gifts that children come into the world with instead of brainwashing them into 'not knowing' anymore. A place that manifests the miracles, the foundation of the Unity Charles and Myrtle created, manifested.
So imagine my surprise when I got the 'hit' (and it did feel like I had been punched in the stomache)
" they are not the ones". I was disappointed.
THANK YOU God. Over the next few days, I was led to ask the question using Kinesiology. It was true. I then had the thought to ask, "Is there anything I can do to change this" Answer - YES.
Fast Forwarding to last Sunday at the fireside chat and the question posed, "What am I going to do to prepare for your arrival?" The Transition Teams process was eye opening and healing and motivated me to Be Bigger (Catherines message at the Sunday Service - another coincidence) I approached Jean-Pierre at the end of the gathering and told him I would like to help him with his Wed. night Meditation idea. It has been quite a week (seems like it has been a month or more). We had our 1st Meditation Night last Wed. Jean-Pierre is not available next Wed. so I get to facilitate. The ideas are flowing, being created and manifesting. I hope that the board has shared some of the emails with you.
Back at home, I was drawn to do a 'personal inventory' (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual) to continue doing my personal healing work.
It has been an amazing journey of being in a divine flow.
