April is Multicultural Communications Month

Posted on by

April 3, 2018
Dear Friends,
I love that April is Multicultural Month! Let us celebrate all the beautiful and diverse people living on our earth with us. Being so involved with the Interfaith Movement, Steve and I meet many people of different faiths, cultures, races, ethnicities all the time. We realize everyone is a fellow traveler, in this thing we call life, doing the best they can, just like we are.
Are you in a faith center that embraces diversity? Sometimes centers are so focused on their own faith tradition, there isn’t room to include those not of their faith.
During this month, I challenge you to step forward and offer to create an “Interfaith Outreach” committee to plan various activities to get to know your neighbors.
Some suggestions are:
Bring in speakers to share about their faith traditions.
Plan an interfaith potluck to get to know another faith community near you.
Work together on a social issue or charity project.
Show movies such as “The Sultan and the Saint” to promote understanding.
When we work, eat and play together we make a stranger, a friend.
Remember, everyone is a child of God. Everyone is an emanation of the most High God. We all have God DNA in us. We are all Spiritual Beings having a human experience. We are connected at the Source, our Creator. We are one family.
Get to know your multicultural and interfaith brothers and sisters. See the Face of God in each one. You will be blessed.
Loving the Oneness,
Abigail

 

 

We Are Always Connected

Posted on by
Dear Friends,
 
In our New Thought teaching we believe, “There is only One Mind, and that is the Mind of God and that Mind is my mind now.”
We all think into this ONE MIND which means we are always connected.  Our thoughts are our ‘focus connections’ with what we are doing, and who we are speaking to.  The beauty is, we are connected with those who live far away, and that is why Prayer Treatment works!  When we realize our wholeness, we realize wholeness for everyone, and those we are treating for.  My mentor, Dr. Juanella Evans always said, “God can never be harmed, marred, scarred, nor injured.” We are God in this form so in the reality of our spiritual being, neither can we.
Taking it one step further, we have the ability to connect with those who have crossed to the other side.  People tell me all the time their mother, father or sibling came to them in a dream or gave them a ‘sign’.  While walking the labyrinth, Steve’s brother came to me with the message, “We never really leave.” For me that means we are always together, always connected and have the ability to stay in contact whether in the physical or not.  My mother came to me in a dream which  opened my heart even further and I gained tremendous insight into why she was so unhappy in this life time.
I could feel tremendous love for her.
If you miss a loved one, take a moment to be still, bring up a visual or memory of this person and ask him or her to share a message. The message may come at that moment, or in a dream, a sign on a billboard, or a phone call from a friend.
Nevertheless, there is only ONE MIND, whether you are on this side of the veil or the other side. We are always in the inclusive love, and  realm of God.
Be at peace and know, you are never alone and always connected.
Listening with Heart,
Abigail

Empowered Women of Faith

Posted on by

Dear Friends,
This is a wonderful month to highlight women.   ALL WOMEN have a LIGHT to share and the time has come when we can no longer hide it, or put it under a bushel.  Some years ago I interviewed 12 women of faith, 10 of which said yes to being in my book,
Empowered Women of Faith
 
In this book, women of 10 faith traditions shared their  biographies, callings, challenges, spiritual practices, balance between family and work, success and failures and their wisdom for change, the future and being mentors and role models for other women making that leap of faith into a religious leadership role.
Julie Iraninejad – Baha’i
Dr. Karma Lekshe Tsomo – Buddhist
Lakshmi Sukumar – Hindu
Dr. Farnaz Khoromi – Sufi Muslim
Dr. Liana Carbon – Peruvian Shaman
Rabbi Karen Sherman – Reform Judaism
Rev. Dr. Kathy Hearn – New Thought’
Dr. Jane Via – Roman Catholic
Rev. Margo McKenna – Seventh Day Adventist and Unitarian Universalist
My story is woven in the book as well….
I dedicated this book to all the women who answered the call and Followed Their Heart...by heeding and accepting their Divine Calling in order to share their unique talents, gifts and abilities with the people of their faith traditions and world; those who Broke the Mold…by doing what was necessary to break the patriarchal mold and make the changes necessary to bring forth equality of men and women in their faith transitions.
By recognizing the women who paved the way before them in their faith  tradition, these women of faith made it possible for others to serve God without boundaries and limits and are Paving the Way…by being exemplary role models, teachers, leaders and mentors for our next generation of empowered women faith leaders.
