Summary

The spiritual path is my life and Unity is my spiritual foundation.

I found God through Unity, learned how to pray, and experience the miracle working power of prayer, through Unity. I learned what love feels like through the loving prayers of the Silent Unity prayer associates.

It would be my highest honor, joy and privilege to be a Silent Unity prayer associate.

I believe my skills in communicating well with others in a non-judgemental way, my ability to quickly assess a situation and respond appropriately, my unshakable faith in the power of God and Unity principles, 37 years of service in A.A., my Stephen Minister training and my compassionate nature are all factors that insure that I am well suited for this position.
