Is your life full of ease and grace? Many of us have been successful in attaining personal and professional goals. Yet we sometimes have found within the attaining we are just too exhausted to enjoy life … or maybe those goals have not created the lives we believed they would. Join me this Sunday as I share a few methods for bringing more love, joy, and peace into our lives on a consistent basis with ease and grace. All it takes is a little bit of Mindfulness.

Rev. Denise Yeargin is a retired Ordained Unity Minister who continues to minister through speaking and writing and occasional individual virtual sessions. "Rev. D" (as many still call her) has grown to love Center for Spiritual Living Nashville and often tunes in to our Sunday services online.

A Native Nashvillian, Denise has over the last few years co-created a home with her life partner Judy Blackwelder in Savannah, TN on the Tennessee River. They call their estate Harmony Haven – as they are learning to live in communion with the earth and all her relations.

Denise’s greatest love continues to be studying, teaching, and sharing Universal Principle. She is mystified at how each of us can study these principles for years, and still forget or put them down in the midst of what we perceive as life challenges.

CSLN ANNUAL PICNIC 2022
A SUCCESS!
 
A BIG THANK YOU to the Social Events Committee for their hard work on the annual CSLN Fall Picnic on Sunday, September 18. It was our first outdoor picnic since before the pandemic (last year’s event got rained out and moved to the Center). Our pavilion at Edwin Warner Park was perfect, and so was the weather.
 
Our committee was working with a limited budget and yet we had an abundance of food. We appreciate everyone bringing potluck items.
 
If anyone has photos, please send them to Alisa LaPolt at alisa@alisalapolt.com to use for future social media, website, and other marketing items.
 
Also, if anyone would like to serve on the Social Events Team, please contact me.

SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT 
CARL FRANKLIN, RScP

In this moment, I know there is only One. One God, One Life, and One Source! As an individualized expression of the Divine, I posses Spirit's qualities. Through consciousness, I become linked to its joy and creativity.  
I respond imaginatively to the events and conditions in my life, even when I am forced to step off into the path of uncertainty. I continue to know and rejoice that the Universe is moving in Divine Order. I move through all conditions and events peacefully, embracing the possibility that my life is full of mystery and excitement. I am always taking a positive view and learning from my encounters. I choose to live in and love life for my spiritual and emotional growth and as I do so God guides me and leads me! Knowing that this is the day Divine has made, I rejoice with gratitude for the peace, love, and joy I now celebrate....... and so it is!
