Sunday, January 23rd, 2022
There are still 2 more Sundays in our “5 Sunday January” so we will continue with our cornucopia of January themes, this week focusing on Intention. Our choice was further reinforced by Colleen’s Note from the Universe this morning which read, “Intention, Colleen, is your gig. Miracles are mine. Symbiotically, The Universe.” 🙂 Intentions start us on a positive path toward manifesting our visions, dreams, and goals and have a nourishing, more gentle feel than typical New Year’s Resolutions that don’t seem to “stick” for very long! Please join us in the conversation (masks required for this in person gathering at 11 a.m.). Myles Sloniker is on tour in CO this week and will join us for some musical adventures on bass!
Love and Light, Colleen and Mark
Quotes to ponder
“Intention is one of the most powerful forces there is. What you mean when you do a thing will always determine the outcome. The law creates the world.” ~ Brenna Yovanoff
“Powerful words come with powerful intent. Where you have passion, strength, courage, and determination you can accomplish anything!” ~ K.L. Toth
“Every journey begins with the first step of articulating the intention, and then becoming the intention.” ~ Bryant McGill
“Believing in negative thoughts is the single greatest obstruction to success.”
~ Charles F. Glassman

We are working on end-of-year donation statements, in gratitude, and for your charitable giving tax filing purposes. Thank you to all who support Paths of Heart financially, as we enter our 9th year of community gatherings!
Request for guest presenters and musicians! ~ Thanks to those who have stepped up to present a topic on Sunday, or to share music! Please let us know if you’re interested or have ideas of other speakers/musicians you’d like to invite. A small honorarium is available.
Sending “Good Juju” and prayer ~ If anyone ever wants 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!
“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 in advance.
Giving Opportunities – Two ways you can support Paths of Heart without costing you an extra penny 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!
During this past year when we weren’t meeting often, online donations became increasingly important to our organization, and are still always gratefully accepted on our website, https://www.pathsofheart.org/donate/. You can even sign up for monthly giving, which we deeply appreciate. Thanks so much for supporting the continuation of Paths of Heart!
Gratitudes
As we close out the books for 2021, we are SO grateful to be heading into our 9th year of Paths of Heart Gatherings! We could not have done it without YOU! Thank you all ways for your time, talents, and treasures!
