SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF GOD'S LOVE

Jun 15, 2025

SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF GOD'S LOVE Hello there, friends of Unity Joy of Life!In 2008, my brother was dying of ALS and I was in a lot of emotional pain. He was my best friend. We did a lot of things together, we had a lot of fun history together, and when I heard at first that he was dying, I thought "I don't know how I'm going to do this."I needed comfort. So, I asked God to guide me to a book. The book that I was deeply guided to was a book that came out at that time. It was called, ...

IS THE WORLD TRYING TO TELL YOU WHO TO LIKE?

Jun 08, 2025

IS THE WORLD TRYING TO TELL YOU WHO TO LIKE? Hello there, friends of Unity Joy of Life!I don't know about you, but, I'm getting a little bit tired of people in the 3rd dimensional world telling me who to like - whether it's Trump or Elon, whether it's Putin or Zelenskyy, whether it's Israel or Hamas, the list goes on and on. In the 3rd dimensional world, if you keep focusing on the problem, you're energizing the problem. And sometimes if you say something about it, you might just be ...

BE IN AWE

Jun 01, 2025

ENERGY Hello there, friends of Unity Joy of Life!I'm so glad that you tuned in today, because this last week I was reminded of a quote by Rumi that says, "If you're not in awe, you are not paying attention."This last week, my husband Steve and I went up to the Strawberry Festival in Northern California. It is there where you can listen to bluegrass music, but what is so unique about this festival is that campers and RVs get to park around these amphitheaters. We're parked within these ...

ENERGY

May 26, 2025

ENERGY Hello there, friends of Unity Joy of Life!As you know, everything is energy and energy doesn't have edges. Everything you think, everything you feel, everything that you say, everything you do - it's all energy and it ripples out and integrates with each other.You emit waves.**waves = energyYou receive them.Sometimes it might feel as - you can't put your finger on it - but you're feeling maybe a bit off. Consider that maybe it's not all you. And if you think about the outer world - ...

BE LIKE A STREAM

May 23, 2025

BE LIKE A STREAM Hello there, friends of Unity Joy of Life! Sometimes I think of life as kind of like the stock market, if you will. It goes up, and it goes down. It certainly is never in a straight line, and I would venture to say that life is certainly not experienced in this straight line.Change happens; sometimes unexpectedly. The Truth is, that only you are in control of how you adapt, how you process, how you go with the flow. If something comes your way and you cannot seem to go ...

DON'T TAKE THE BAIT

May 04, 2025

DON'T TAKE THE BAIT Hello, friends of Unity Joy of Life!I want to begin today by telling you a story that happened maybe about 5 years ago. I was walking my dogs, Pastor Pippa and Father Frank. Everyday, we would take this one route, and there would be this one part of the route where there would be this big dog - it was a pitbull mix. He would run up to the fence and he would aggravate Father Frank. Father Frank would then run after him and I'd be holding him back and Pastor Pippa back ...

BREAK THROUGH

Apr 27, 2025

BREAK THROUGH! Hello there, friends of Unity of Joy of Life!Before April of 1954, there was this strong belief that no one was even capable of running the 4 minute mile. And then, Roger Bannister came along. He broke the 4 minute mile, in fact, it was 3 minutes and 59 seconds. Now here’s something that just really blows my mind. After that, over 25,000 people have done it, including some of the school kids. I mean, why is that?Truly, why is that?Here’s what happened: they all ...

EASTER FORGIVENESS

Apr 20, 2025

EASTER FORGIVENESS Hello there, friends of Unity of Joy of Life!Happy Easter to you! Today, I thought I would talk about a magnificent tool. It’s probably one of the most holiest of tools to bring you your freedom - and that is forgiveness.What is forgiveness, exactly? Well, it’s not giving somebody a pass, but rather it’s recognizing that everything exists in the mind. Sometimes we think that the past is in some kind of time zone - back there - but no - the ...

SEE HOW BIG GOD IS

Apr 13, 2025

SEE HOW BIG GOD IS Hello there, friends of Unity of Joy of Life!A couple of weeks ago, my dear niece decided to ask a question of family members and the question was, “What are your top 10 favorite films?” Well, some of the family members were going on about “The Godfather”, “Raiders of the Lost Ark”, and “Harry Potter” - all great films - and then it came time for me to give my answer..I said, “Joe Versus the ...

SNAP OUT OF IT!

Apr 06, 2025

SNAP OUT OF IT! Hello there, friends of Unity of Joy of Life!The other day, I was coming out of the grocery store and the weather was so beautiful! I was having a God moment - not a cloud in the sky. The birds were chirping and there was this beautiful breeze - you know, that kind of breeze that matches your skin temperature - and I went into this beautiful place of bliss.As I’m walking along, going to my car, this woman comes out of nowhere and she says, “Oh my God! This is ...
