Speech at Unity Spiritual Center of Denton

Sunday Mornings

There is something very special about Sunday mornings – no matter what time of year. It is unusually calm and peaceful. The traffic is much lighter than it is during the week.

Today was a very difficult and challenging day. I had one appointment or meeting after another , was feeling stressed about revisions/modifications to my manuscript, concerned about various business contracts, had health issues, etc.   I always remind myself of the aphorism “All is well”.

There is No Death

“THERE IS NO DEATH! YOU COULDN’T DIE IF YOU WANTED TO!” Those are the words of my mentor and spiritual teacher, Katherine Sedonia Hayward.
