Rev. Dr. Helen Carry:

Sometimes you hear a name for years and wonder what they would be like, should you ever get the opportunity to meet them face to face. In August of this year I had to privilege of speaking at the International New Thought Alliance World Congress in Chicago and was introduced to one of those people that I had great respect for and truly admire. Rev. Dr. Helen Carry is one of the Associate Minister's at Rev. Dr. Johnnie Coleman's "Christ Universal Temple" in Chicago. As a fan of Rev. Johnnie's for many years, I had often heard mention Rev. Carry's name and knew that if she were working with Dr. Coleman, she had to be top notch.

I found upon meeting her, that she was gracious, kind and attentive to each person that she spoke with and that alone endeared her to me. In my travels and dealings with other minister's, author's and various celebrities you tend to find that some are not as warm and inviting as others. Rev. Helen is the real thing. She walks her talk, lives her principles and empowers you simply by loving you into the realization that you are a child of God.

I will be interviewing her on my radio show this afternoon and I am knowing that it will be an outstanding hour of inspiration and love.

Thank you Rev. Helen Carry for being centered in your connectedness with Spirit and being a powerful teacher to so many.

What Must I Change About ME?

I often wonder why it is when we encounter a difficult challenge in life, we usually want to place the blame outside ourselves. We want to say someone caused this to happen because they did something to us, or took something, or said something, that in turn created the mess we find ourselves standing in.

As the years pass I'm learning to stop being so quick to blame others, but to turn within and ask myself what did I do that allowed this energy, person or situation to be in my experience? When I am open and honest with ME, it is amazing how quickly I can find a solution to what I'm dealing with.

Self observation is a powerful tool in empowerment. Self examination allows us to stop playing the "blame game" in life and begin to take responsibility for how we live our lives. Is it always ME that causes a challenge I experience? No, but I can then question how can I find another way of looking at the lesson before me, heal it, learn from it and move on.

So no matter what the case may be; An argument with a friend, co-workers, or the relationship we long for is not manifesting. The question to ponder that could give us our greatest opportunity for growth could be "What must I change about me in order to become more healthy and whole?"

I am always ready to learn and grow, sometimes kickin' and draggin' my heels in the dirt, but learning as I go just the same.
