I have missed the connection with everyone so much since the changes Celebration Church went thru this year, thus the urge to stay connected with you has finally caused me to create this new avenue of communication.
Some of you may not know I have had my own business for 3 years now. I have done the occasional wedding, baby blessings, memorials and even a cat memorial!
I really love, and I mean LOVE providing these services! It has been on the back burner though, while I was full-time doing Celebration work. I am more freed up now and want to concentrate on moving forward with Diva Matters Ministry. Please feel free to take a look at my website: www.divamattersministry.com
My goal here is to offer you little pieces of light, to reflect what is possible and what is helpful for seeing the best within you, realizing that 'it' is not outside of you! I want to share inspirational thoughts and insights that will enrich your lives, with ideas for living each day ON PURPOSE, experiencing the 'high-way' that miracle consciousness offers. I have come to understand that when we are experiencing a dark time in our life, it is preparing us for a Divine Revelation that is right around the corner! Miracles are happening all around us all the time and blessings are in abundance, if we choose to see them that way.
You have no doubt heard the phrase, "Wherever you go, there you are." The one thing for sure is that no matter how many distractions we provide for ourselves, no matter how many things we respond to in the outside world of business, of dramas and obligations, the one journey we are all called to take is the one within.
"The real journey in life is interior, an ever greater surrender to the creative action of LOVE and GRACE in our hearts."--Thomas Merton
This summer my husband and I rode our bikes on the South Waterfront as often as we could, and while it brought us great joy, it was the sheer delight in people's faces when they saw Pierre and Lily, our two Bichon Frise' dogs in our front baskets, that made us know we were actually doing God's work! As we whizzed by them, the sparks flew between us and to light up their life but for a moment was incredibly fulfilling! All the comments we got about how it was the cutest thing they had ever seen, and the countless times we were approached by people who had to have a picture of us, was so gratifying it is difficult to describe in words! It was truly an 'inside job' for us!
The simple act of riding our bikes was actually causing people to connect with the joy inside themselves, that perhaps they had forgotten about and it changed the chemicals in their very being! The smile it brought to their face was truly healthy for them! And the bike riding certainly was healthy for us! Life is full of one miracle after another.
I am reading a book called, MIRACLE PRAYER and it has me all fired up!!
Family and friends who know me well make fun of how often I utter the words, "It's a miracle!!!" I must admit I am guilty of saying that a lot!!
Albert Einsten said it perfectly,
" There are two ways to live your life.....
One is as though nothing is a miracle,
The other is as though everything is a miracle."
In my Life Coaching sessions I invite people to focus their attention and intention, and watch miracles happen!!
Even though we don't get to see eachother as often, I know that there is a vibrational energetic connection that holds us all together and that we are still connected!! I look forward to staying in touch with you as time goes on. I would love to hear from you, and, if you don't want to receive this email, you know what to do!!!
Also, I am still very involved with Coexist Celebration with Barry, and we are planning a Christmas/Holiday Event...so be on the look-out for more info to come soon!
In Love and The Light of Christ Consciousness Always,

Inner thoughts:
- Donna Brazile: Political commentator and Critic says: "Detours and shortcomings CAN get you where you are going."
- Ann Curry: Anchor on the Today Show put it this way: "I've learned to be deliberate about how I spend my time on this Earth. I choose to fill my days with what I'm passionate about, and live with purpose!"
- Oprah says;"When you can see obstacles for what they are, you never lose faith in the path it takes you to get where you want to go."
- Jesus says:
"Greater works than these shall you do...."
"You are the light of the world.....Let your light shine...."
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it will be opened unto you."
Remember it does take ACTION on our part. We have to ask, seek and knock and then expect a miracle!
Friends and loved ones MATTER in life!
