Asilomar Conference 2010!

“Enlighten UP!” was the theme for this year’s Unity Western Central Region’s Conference. It was a great time for me to rejuvenate and walk by the ocean, AND to meet and greet with many long-time friends and new friends! Who knew??? that on the first day I arrived at the conference I happened to get in line for dinner right next to Edwene Gaines, the keynote speaker and author of The Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity- – A Simple Guide to Unlimited Abundance!!  Of course, I just had to let her know that her book was the very first book I used to teach my first class on abundance back in June 2010, and what a tremendous blessing the book had been to me. It was confirmation that I WAS on the right track after getting out from under over $100,000 worth of debt. I am so grateful for the opportunity to meet her and hear her speak on Friday night and Saturday morning. She was AMAZING! If you want to turn your life around and are tired of going around in circles and living from paycheck to paycheck, read her book, The Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity.  I wish everyone I know could have heard her!

 It was great seeing all of you at Asilomar (you know who you are) – – all the folks from Vacaville, Fremont, Walnut Creek, Richmond, San Leandro, Davis, Castro Valley, San Francisco, YOU ROCK! And let’s not forget Greg Tamblyn, thanks for sharing your humor, wit, and your music. I had the pleasure of jamming on one song with David Deerfeeder and the Wingers on Saturday evening. What a blessing and pleasant surprise it was when he called me up to sing with them on “The Lord Is My Shepherd.” Man! we were jammin’ for God! All in all, what I good time I had down by the sea. I am so very grateful. I felt even more aligned with my purpose by just being surrounded by the loving, supportive energy of everyone I met. I look forward to the next Western Central Region event no matter where or when it takes place. There’s nothing like it! Well, until we meet again. Be at peace.

Love and many blessings,

Dinah

West Coast Songwriters Conference –

Last weekend I attended the West Coast Songwriters Conference at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills, CA. I LOVE the synergy and the excitement of hanging around songwriters and musicians. It keeps me inspired to know there are folks in the music industry who really care about this music community and are helping to move us forward on our journey as musicians and songwriters. We had two beautiful sunshiny days, hanging out on the quad listening to music, sharing lunch with new friends and old friends, learning, and LOVING IT. I left the conference assured that I was on the right track, and I know more than ever to keep going, keep going, keep going. Keep on doing what I do!

Any now,  for a few shout-outs, to all of you that I met or had a chance to chat with at the conference, thank you for bringing your energy, your light, your gift, and your smile…..you know who you are:  John Boykin, Tony Gutierrez, Caylia, Trevor, Robert, Ned, Danny, and Antonia! 

I am feeling even more charged up about finishing my next CD (just started working on it)!

Peace & Love,

Dinah

Unity of the Valley – Vacaville, CA

If there’s ever a place in the world that makes me feel like I’m “in the pocket,”  or “in the zone,” as they say, it’s in Vacaville. I felt like we were having a mini-reunion when I sang there on the past Aug. 22nd.  It had been a while since I had sung for their Sunday morning service, and it was refreshing to see so many old and new friends! Thanks, Unity of the Valley, for welcoming me again with open arms!

Many Blessings,

Dinah

Fremont Service

What a wonderful service we had on August 1st in Fremont! The talks on ATTITUDE were very inspiring and uplifting from Samantha, Barb, and Kevin.  (HAPPY Anniversary to Samantha & Kevin!) I always feel right at home and so welcomed whenever I sing in Fremont. The warmth of this congregation is a very precious gift to me.  They also hold a special place in my heart because, in 2000, when I moved to California from Maryland, the first Unity church I set foot in was Unity of Fremont. So, we still have this beautiful friendship and connection for which I am so very grateful. Hats off to you and many thanks, Fremont! I am looking forward to returning to speak and sing there again September 26th.

Much love and many blessings!

Awesome Music Conference!!!

Greetings! I’m still flying high just thinking about what a great experience it was to be at the 2010 Sound Connections Music Conference last week! So much music, so many new friends, so much sizzlin’, creative, transforming, powerful, uplifting energy. It was absolutely magnificent! What a fun time we had (my roommate was Gayle Staehle, Tri-Valley Unity music director).  Plus, we brought back soooo much music and positive information to share with our music ministry and to enhance our Sunday services.

Sound Connections Music Conference - July 2010
Dinah and Gayle at Sound Connections 2010

Each day, I did my very best to just breath in and embrace all the great exchange of love and fellowship between all the musicians, songwriters, music directors, and spiritual leaders. There was such a supportive spirit in the air! Just the BOOST we ALL needed. There was something always going on at the conference to nourish our souls. It was just good to sit and reflect on the creative atmosphere and let it feed me. At a very deep soul-level, I knew I was where I was supposed to be. 

I really must plan more of these “retreats” in my life now. It’s so good to be around what feeds you and nourishes your spirit.  Blessings to all of you at SOUND CONNECTIONS who met and greeted me with open arms! You inspired me and encouraged me to keep on keepin’ on! You supercharged me! You’re the BEST! Can’t wait to get back into the recording studio next month. Thanks!

Let your spirit soar!

Love,

Dinah

Abundantly Blessed!

Today, I am grateful for the awareness of abundant blessings pouring into my life, no matter what shape or form they take! Not long ago, I had the pleasure of teaching an abundance class. It still amazes me at how fast things shift when we make even the smallest change in our thinking or in our minds about something, particulary when it involves moving forward ion our spiritual path. The fact that we are willing to move forward in our spiritual commitments and practices can set off a chain of blessings to pop up all over in our lives! It is another subtle way of “asking” the Universe for an opening of the windows of heaven. We don’t have to do everytihng perfect, but we must go within our heart of hearts and make a decision to find a corresponding action that supports what we are believing.

I have a friend who clearly made steps toward making conscious choices and lifestyle changes over a period of months, and she is NOW no longer a diabetic! She was also beginning to make some changing in her thinking about applying some abundance principles in her life. And voila! Her addiontal income manifested in a huge way when a roommate came into her her life. So whatever it is you’re contemplating, move ahead in faith and watch things begin to change! I invite you to get on your abundance path today and prepare to receive the outpouring of abundant blessings.  ASK, that your JOY may be FULL!

Blessings,

Dinah
