Building Bridges to the Future
“Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see possibilities-always see them for they’re always there.” -Norman Vincent Peale
I am thrilled to be taking on the position as the new Senior Minister for the Center for Spiritual Living Redding. It feels like the perfect next right step onto the bridge of my new life. Thank you for your vote of confidence in doing so.
As time unfolds, I hope to get to know each of you on a deeper  level so that I may assist you in your spiritual path, in whatever ways I can. I will be learning and growing from you as well and so this will be a beautiful, symbiotic relationship.
As I begin my new calling here at the Center for Spiritual Living Redding, I do so by standing on Rev. Sue’s shoulders. (Not sure how comfortable that will be for her), but I am in awe of how gracefully she has carried the Center through many challenges. She has created an incredible platform that I would now like to turn into a bridge.
How can we move forward and evolve spiritually as a group of  like-minded people? I think one of the first things is to see all the    possibilities and not be afraid to step out onto the bridge. It will take us onto a journey filled with love, joy, and a deep sense of gratitude for where we have been. I thank Rev. Sue for all that she has done.
Please feel free to reach out to me and I will be happy to answer any questions you may have. I am happy to be back in Redding, despite it being the hottest month of the year. It’s a “dry heat” compared to Thailand and so it isn’t too uncomfortable for me.
I look forward to sharing a few classes in July as I get adjusted to life here and I once again appreciate your openness as we begin these new experiences together.
