GUEST SPEAKER REV. SEAN O'SHEA "Is That ‘Little Voice in Your Head’ Not So Little?"

That “little voice” we hear is actually our minds replaying lies we have heard about ourselves. Let us stop perpetuating the negativity and be as kind to ourselves as we (hopefully) are to others. Sean O’Shea is an Inspirational Speaker and author as well as singer-songwriter. Many of you will recognize him as he was our Music Ministry Director from June of 2011 until December of 2014. Sean was mentored by and has twice opened for author and television personality Dr. Wayne Dyer — and Sean was interviewed live on ABC’s Good Morning America and was ordained in Divine Science. Sean and his wife, Laurie, enjoy traveling to various New Thought venues throughout the country. Learn more at www.ReverendSean.com.

GUEST ARTIST LAURIE O'SHEA Laurie O’Shea writes songs that have been described as Adult Contemporary/Pop/Broadway with a touch of sarcasm mixed in. While she is often asked to be a featured performer, her real love is singing background vocals. She enjoys getting to do both at New Thought churches around the country. Laurie is a member of NSAI and has performed at many Nashville singer-songwriter venues and events. Laurie’s first album, Perfectly You, was released in August of 2019 and she is currently working on her next compilation of lullabies for all ages.

GUEST ARTIST YVONNE SMITH Yvonne Smith is a singer, songwriter, and former creator/host of her own online TV show about vegan travel called The Traveling Vegetarian. Originally from Santa Rosa, California, she has lived in Nashville for the last twenty-one years. She is happiest creating harmony as a backup singer, both in the studio and live onstage, and has sung with a wide variety of musicians in many different genres. Yvonne used her downtime during the pandemic to put herself through real estate school and is now a licensed agent at Crye-Leike.

CLASSES & WORKSHOPS New Workshop: "Seven Spiritual People Skills" ...for living an extraordinary life October 16 after Sunday Service, 12:30 PM at the Center Based on the content of Rev. Sean O'Shea first upcoming book of the same title, this workshop typically lasts around 2 hours. It is interactive with exercises and demonstrations. It has evoked a spectrum of emotion ranging from belly-laughs to tears from those in attendance and has been described as “eye-opening” and “transformative”.    The primary message is that by serving each other, we serve our Creator and we are in-turn Blessed with Peace, Abundance and Bliss. “Spiritual People Skills” is a creation of lessons in living a more Spiritually-rewarding life. This “7” is the introductory program for setting the mindset of service. This workshop is offered on a Love Offering basis and proceeds will benefit both Rev. O’Shea’s ministry and Center for Spiritual Living Nashville.    Learn more at www.ReverendSean.com

SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT  CANDY PAULL, RScP There is one Life—perfect, harmonious, whole, complete. That Life is my life now. The Divine is the breath of my breath, the life of my life, omnipresent, forever within me. I focus on the wholeness and vitality at the center of life, knowing that this wholeness and vitality expresses gently yet powerfully in my daily affairs. I anticipate unexpected gifts of abundant provision to arrive in my life. I do the work that is mine to do and choose cheerfulness instead of worry or fear. I trust that all things are working together for the highest good. I receive the gifts the Divine brings with joy and gratitude. And so it is.
