— “When you are grateful, you have positive energy that emanates outward from your being. You become a magnet of sorts, attracting more experiences and opportunities that enrich your life, giving you even more reasons to be grateful. Challenges or problems are reduced or eliminated because, aside from applying practical solutions, you do not give them any power or energy. Life begins to reflect your good back to you in amazing ways. There is always something to be grateful for…” “Gratitude is the healthiest of all human emotions. The more you express gratitude for what you have, the more likely you will have even more to express gratitude for.” — Zig Ziglar Valeria interviews Jan Lynch — She is the author of  “The Divine Flow of Abundance, winner of the NYC Big Book “Distinguished Favorite” award in 2021. After a successful career in the Airline and Hospitality Industries, Jan began to study how to use Universal Principles in creating one's own life. From numerous classes and workshops, plus reading uplifting, metaphysical books, she learned how to apply these principles of success to her own life.  She welcomed the beliefs that joy, love, vibrant health and financial freedom are natural birthrights for all. The Divine Flow of Abundance was the result of a “nudge” from the Universe to create a simple and insightful 30-day Abundance Plan that anyone can use in order to realize and accept the limitless prosperity the Universe has for each of us. The two common themes in the book are “Spirit is your Source” and “Be careful what you think because thoughts become things.” Jan is also a Spiritual Practitioner licensed through the Emerson Theological Institute in Oakhurst, California and the co-author of Affirm Your Future: How to use Affirmations to Bridge Your Future.  She is an inspirational speaker and, as a Spiritual Counselor she assists others in creating the life they truly desire.

Rev. Celeste is with her friend Rev. Mary Beth Speer discussing a lot! Rev. Mary Beth and her husband Michael Speer pastored a Religious Science Center in Southern California and a Religious Science center in the Chicago suburbs.Celeste asked Mary Beth about what drove her into the human potential movement. Mary Beth found her journey to be quite organic. Starting out with a compative religions class (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative_religion#:~:text=Comparativereligionisthebranch,migration)oftheworld'sreligions), then becoming a Methodist (https://www.dictionary.com/browse/methodist), going clear in Scientology (https://www.scientology.org/what-is-scientology/), and looking at organized religion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organized_religion), but her real awakening came from reading "Out on a Limb" (https://www.amazon.com/Out-Limb-Shirley-Maclaine/dp/0553273701) by Shirley Maclaine.MaryBeth landed in New Thought at Unity La Crescenta (https://www.lacrescentaunity.com/). MaryBeth's passion for New Thought came in understanding quantum physics (https://www.newscientist.com/term/quantum-physics/), waves and particles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave%E2%80%93particle_duality). Gary Zukav's "The Dancing Wu Li Masters" (https://www.amazon.com/Dancing-Wu-Li-Masters-Overview/dp/0060959681) really helped MaryBeth go deeper. The aspect of Law was the draw for Mary Beth to Science of Mind, so she was most influenced by Thomas Troward (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Troward). Mary Beth likes a law is neutral (be it spiritual law or physical law). Prior to discovering metaphysics, her God was a "ticked-off", capricious god. MaryBeth enjoys doing study groups. She has done A Course in Miracles (acim.org) and the Book of Revelations (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Revelation) in the past. She began doing study groups in the early 1980s where the group would ingest and embody a book. Her current groups both take their time exploring the books and have been meeting for several years.After being a Regional Support Coordinator for the Midwest for CSL (csl.org), MaryBeth realized she just wants to move the Movement forward. She currently serves on the board for the Affiliated New Thought Network (ANTN), an organization founded in 1992 (antn.org) that has Religious Science, Unity and Divine Science centers. Find ANTN happenings here: https://www.facebook.com/Affiliated-New-Thought-Network-220933930309Angelo Pizelo and his wife Dr. Stella Pizelo founded the Emerson Theological Institute (https://emersontheologicalinstitute.wordpress.com/) and Angelo, leads ANTN, where all are welcome.

In episode 74 of Fresh Tracks I speak with spiritual leader and consciousness powerhouse Lola Wright. Our discussion runs the gamut from the important role being authentic plays in contributing to society as a whole and why self-expression can be such an important value to society. Lola shares her personal journey cutting Fresh Tracks from becoming a mom at 18, to a career in the finance industry to becoming the Spiritual Director of Bodhi Chicago. How do you know it’s time to for you to cut your Fresh Tracks? Lola answers this question and provides a 7-day process for checking “your aliveness” in your day-to-day life. We also discuss why cutting Fresh Tracks is important – because people who enjoy the life they are living are contributing more to the planet! Finally, we breach the topic of race in America and why it’s such an important topic to explore. Lola shares that you cannot shift what you cannot accept – and this applies to race as much as anything else.
