Find your path to prosperity

Hurrah. It's a new year, and a few days ago, a new moon. Think about two words for your life plan, sustainability and prosperity. What do you think of when these two words circulate your cortex? Money? Many would answer so. What if money is only part of the answer, only a small slice of this sweet pie? Would you eat just one slice of your pie and throw the rest away? That's what it's like when you think of prosperity as money only. 

Thinking and acting differently in regards to your perspective on prosperity will take time. Change takes time. The fullness, the completeness of what prosperity is, and can be, will take time to learn and blend into your every day living. Do you really know something if you know it half way? Do you really understand something, or someone, if you have just scratched the surface?

Starting Sunday, Jan. 21, 1-3 p.m., Reverend Joanne Rowden of Unity Spiritual Center of Westlake will offer a fabulous course called "Sustainable Prosperity 2018." This course will be taught once a month for 11 weeks, spanning one year's time, and finishing up just before the Christmas holidays.

This thorough, yearlong program will support you in practicing the presence of God in your experience of prosperity. This unique program brings together the spiritual side of abundance as well as the practical application in one's day-to-day existence. Being taught over the course of a year allows for total transformation regarding your attitudes, perspectives and relationship with money, and your personal prosperity. These lessons learned will not be quickly forgotten. There is ample time to learn, absorb, practice and practice some more, before a new concept comes along.

If Sunday afternoon doesn't work for you, the same program will be offered Thursday evenings, 7-9 p.m., starting Jan. 25. Both times will be offered at Unity of Westlake, 23855 Detroit Road. A freewill offering will be received with gratitude at each class. After the second class, the program will be closed to new participants. The materials fee is $45.   

Donna M. took the class, and felt it was far superior to any other prosperity class she had taken prior. She said, "It is bigger than money alone, this program is about changing your mindset, and opening to all the possibilities and good to come to you. You talk about your values, your dreams, your goals, even budgets. Attending one time a month allows you to think about it, and put it to work in your daily life. A year allows you to see, and feel the changes."

When I asked my friend Larry what prosperity meant to him, he had to stop and think for a moment. He said, "It's about living life to the fullest. I used to take I-480 to get to work, now I take the road through the Metroparks. I see deer and heron, and am surrounded by nature's bounty. It takes 3 minutes longer to get to work, but my life is fuller, more abundant."
