Convenience Store Clerk Fatally Shot

Convenience Store Clerk Fatally Shot
He reluctantly left a family party to return to work.

This is just two days past Christmas, 2008; a local murder.

I am crying as I read this headline. What tragedy, what pain.

Needless suffering will fall upon a family who loved this youth.

When is the thick skin required to live this life supposed to form?

Your Body's Grace

Mary will facilitate a new group, Your Body's Grace. Join us weekly to discuss taking ownership of your body as a vehicle to better know the Divine, the Divine Mystery. To help you feel your body's needs. To discuss ideas to meet those needs.

Your Body's Grace will meet Wednesdays, from 5:30 to 7:00 PM at the Ventura Unitarian Church, February 2nd through March 23, 2011.

Nutrition is the miracle of taking in food, nutrients which transform to become our corporeal selves. Our nutritional intake literally affects each and every cell in our body, each cellular process including the process of creating our emotions, feelings, thoughts, dreams, fears. What we eat literally shapes our bodies and our minds.

I've posed some things for us to consider as we seek to find practical, do-able solutions to nurturing ourselves, literally with food, as well as nurturing our souls, our hearts, our best humanity. The need is very real in our world which rapidly creates physical as well as emotional disease.

I wish to teach you, help you lock in the concept of INTENTION. Gain CLARITY about your intention. Plan to CREATE/MANIFEST your intention. How do you already do this? (CREATION/MANIFESTATION). When have you successfully created? What keeps blocking you from what you now want? What do you need to know? From me, from the world, from yourself? What is your worst fear? What is the primary UNTRUTH you tell yourself?
