Many cultures honor the ancestors and those who have transitioned. 911, the AIDS quilts, Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), biblical genealogies are a few examples. Giving ourselves opportunities to remember, reflect, and honor Life/God as It has shown ItSelf as each person, allows their power, story, love to live on in us.

Week’s Affirmation: I rise up and lead; I am someone’s answered prayer! 

So many taboo topics many of us will not touch, each of these must also be God, right? No matter the political affiliation, sociological/cultural experiences, religious/spiritual paths, also God, right? What could shift if we embraced and communicated courageously openly and vulnerably about these things many of us avoid?
Week’s Affirmation: I speak my word with truth, from Love.  

Unconditional Love is powerfully committed to a Wholly Holy Revolutionary Act that exudes grace, compassion, and boldness. SOM&S is a R-Evolutionary (Radical Evolutionary) teaching that positions us at the leading edge of global transformation and those who engage it at that level walk the walk by balancing Love and Law. 
Week’s Affirmation: I am an ambassador of revolutionary love! 

If the etymology of adventure includes occurrence, risk, event, and chance, we are invited to look at where we are allowing this One Life to show up, where are we taking holy risks to evolve, how often are we taking chances (opportunities) to let our Spiritual Magnificence be our experience. 
Week’s Affirmation: With unshakable confidence, I participate fully and freely in the adventure of Life!

Week’s Affirmation: I relax and behold God’s grace unfolding as my life.
