Sunday, July 31st, 2022
My (Colleen’s) reading material flying home from my Dad’s in NJ was Peter J Hughes’ book, At-One-Ment: Reclaiming Our Humanity and I just had to write down immediately this little phrase I came across: “Shift internally, act locally, manifest globally”. Many of us have heard of and (sometimes, when we remember!) practice the law of attraction. Peter gives some specific examples for this “defining moment on the spectrum of our evolution” and affirms how when we change our minds, we can indeed change our world, for the betterment of all. That’ll be the topic of our discussion this week. Join us this Sunday, in person, at 10:30 a.m., 117 Evans Dr., Fort Collins, CO. Bring a friend! 🙂
Warmly, Colleen and Mark
Quotes to ponder
“We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do.”
~ Mahatma Gandhi
“The law of attraction states that whatever you focus on, think about, read about, and talk about intensely, you are going to attract more of into your life.”
~ Jack Canfield
“Choose your thoughts carefully, keep what brings you peace, release what brings you suffering, and know that happiness is just a thought away.”
~ Jill Macdonald
“Each person is born with an infinite power, against which no earthly force is of the slightest significance.”
~ Neville Goddard
“Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls.”
~ Joseph Campbell
“As you imagine and visualize and verbalize your new story, in time you will believe the new story, and when that happens, the evidence will flow swiftly into your experience.”
~ Abraham Hicks

Giving Opportunities
Paths of Heart continues (in our 9th year now!) solely through your generous donations. What an amazing thing! Several survey participants expressed interest in signing up for regular monthly donations and we gratefully welcome that! During the pandemic, online donations became increasingly important to our organization, and are always gratefully accepted on our website, https://www.pathsofheart.org/donate/. Once you are on our PayPal site, there will be an option for recurring monthly donations. If you find value in what we do here at Paths of Heart, please consider donating to keep our non-profit running smoothly, with grace and ease. Thanks so much for supporting the continuation of Paths of Heart. Remember, we are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, so your donations are tax deductible.
Two ways you can further support Paths of Heart are detailed below:
King Soopers Community Rewards Program – if you shop at KS and have a rewards card, you can “link” it to Paths of Heart and King Soopers will donate a portion of your dollars spent (around 5%) to our non-profit. Go to https://www.kingsoopers.com/i/community/community-rewards to sign up and link your card. Our organization name is Paths of Heart and organization number is RG782. Let us know if you want help signing up!
Amazon Smile – We do love shopping locally and very often do, but Amazon sometimes fits the bill. If you are an Amazon shopper, you can make a difference by shopping at smile.amazon.com/ch/81-4175487 to generate donations for Paths of Heart!
“Paths of Heart” Labyrinth and Zen Meditation Garden – This was intentioned to be a community space, so know that you are always welcome to drop by and walk or sit – you do not need to let us know in advance. Do note that we have experienced the outer “halo” of glass blocks in the labyrinth to be slippery when wet, so it’s best to walk it on a dry day (not usually a problem in Colorado!). We also welcome volunteers to help keep our labyrinth looking beautiful and free of debris and weeds. Thank you!
Sending prayers and affirmations ~ If anyone would like to receive our collective positive thoughts and prayers on a Sunday morning, please ask! We can be as specific or as anonymous as you’d like. Let us know if we can surround you and your loved ones in love and light!
Gratitudes
THE RAIN!! What a blessing to our parched earth, flora and fauna! It also made it much easier on Mark and Emma who were tending the gardens while Colleen was away… 🙂
We are SO grateful for our Paths of Heart Community! You enrich our lives and give us hope for the future with your love, kindness, and generosity.
