Assertiveness is speaking one’s truth with peaceful confidence. It is discerning the song we were given to sing and using our talents as a gift to the world. We have the courage to speak up for what we believe is right. We tell the truth about what is just. Assertiveness comes from knowing our own worth, and honoring the dignity of who we are. We stand on our own holy ground, and set boundaries without guilt. We never beg or make demands. We ask for what we need by making simple, positive requests. We treat ourselves with respect and expect respect at all times.

Caring is giving tender attention to the people and things that matter to us. It is being a compassionate witness, listening to another wholeheartedly and without judgement. We show that we care with thoughtful acts and kind words. When we do a careful job, we give it our best effort. We are not indifferent to things that matter. We care deeply about the principles we believe in. Caring is a sign of love. When we care for others, we notice how they feel and what they need. When we care for ourselves, we have more to give to others. Caring is a gift from the heart.
Join Rev. Gina over the next two months as we aim to find our permanent place in the “Now” – what that means, why it’s important, and how it will completely transform your life! With inspiration from Lama Surya Das, Osho, Eckhart Tolle, Leonard Jacobson, and Elizabeth Lesser, come learn how to live a life of bliss – in every moment! In that time we will also be blessed with three guest speakers, Dr. Rev. Jerry Troyer, Rev. Bill MacDonald, and Marvin Rolnick, speaking on May 5, June 2, and June 19, respectively. May 5 – The Joy of Non-Attachment: How it ‘should’ be vs how it is.We welcome Rev. Dr. Jerry Troyer as he walks use through letting go of our attachment to how things “should be” versus how they are. When we release our attempted “control” of the world around us, we realize the joy of non-attachment. May 12 – The World Needs NOW!Jumping into the 5-week theme, Rev. Gina begins to delve into the concept that living in the NOW is the only way to live. Reliving events of the past or worrying about the future serve no purpose other than to keep us from focusing on the here and now.
