Sunday morning, the energy in the room felt so alive…
There’s something really beautiful about watching people walk into what feels like a sea of love.
Because of that, your leadership team has been spending some time together —reflecting on what’s working well, what’s flowing, and also noticing what might be ready for a little tweaking or even letting go. Our intention is simply to stay aligned and continue creating a space that feels vibrant, welcoming, and uplifting for everyone.
As part of that, we’ve created a short survey—it takes less than 5 minutes to complete. It’s included here, and if you’re willing to take a few moments to fill it out and send it back, we would be so grateful. SURVEY
Your voice truly matters, and it helps us continue to grow together in the most loving and conscious way.
This Week’s Message: The Freedom of Conscious Choice
Over these past weeks, we have explored The Four Agreements, learning how our words, assumptions, reactions, and efforts shape our experience of life.
This Sunday, we moved into something deeper.
Not another teaching to remember… but an invitation to live what we already know.
Because the truth is:
Freedom is not something we arrive at someday.
Freedom lives in the moment we become aware… and realize we can choose again.
So often, we find ourselves caught in patterns—reacting, judging ourselves, or trying to “get it right.” But this path is not about perfection.
It is about returning.
Returning to awareness.
Returning to compassion.
Returning to the present moment.
Again… and again… and again.
In each moment of awareness, we are given a quiet but powerful opportunity:
To pause.
To notice.
To choose.
And it is in these small, often unseen choices that our lives begin to transform.
This Week’s Practice
A simple rhythm to carry with you:
Pause.
Notice.
Choose.
Pause long enough to become aware
Notice what is true in you in that moment
Choose from the highest awareness available to you
And when you forget…
Pause again.
Notice again.
Choose again.
This is the practice of conscious living.
Affirmation – Take a breath and affirm:
I am willing to live with awareness.
I am willing to meet myself with compassion.
I am willing to choose again.
I am aligned with truth, with love, and with the presence of Spirit within me.
And I trust that each conscious choice leads me into greater freedom.
As you move through your week, remember: You do not have to get it perfect…you only have to be present enough to choose.
Join Us This Sunday
There is so much shifting in our world right now… and perhaps you’re feeling it, too.
Things are moving quickly around us and within us and sometimes that can feel uncertain, even unsettling. But what if this time of change isn’t something to fear… but something we are being invited to grow through?
This Sunday, we begin a brand-new series: Awakening in a Changing World
In our first talk, “The World Is Changing: The Pause Before the Pivot,” we’ll gently explore what it means to meet this moment with openness instead of resistance… and how to stay grounded, centered, and spiritually aligned even as everything seems to be shifting.
If you’ve been longing for a sense of steadiness, clarity, or deeper trust amid all that’s changing, this is a space where you can come home to yourself.
You are a blessing in my life,
Rev. Patricia Bessey
