When I was growing up in Michigan my Father, Fred Kendall, was a Unity student and employed by Unity Temple as a singer for 19 years. He always had such a clear heart and positive outlook on life.
After spending my 20's and 30's trying to find that clear heart and positive outlook in the physical world with little success, I came across - quite magically - Alan Cohen's book, "The Dragon Doesn't Live Here Anymore", and everything changed. Alan refers to Eric Butterworth in his book. Eric was with the Detroit Unity Temple when I was a girl and he was a dear friend and wonderful teacher to my Dad.
Suddenly the mystery of how my Father was so happy and present and free came rushing back to me. Oh, yes it was Unity and the principles that sustained him.
That is when, in 1988, I let my fingers do the walking in the yellow pages and found Unity of Fort Collins. On my first visit I knew that I was home. There are many people who come here for the first time and report the same feeling of being home. This is a spiritual community that is growing and expanding as Truth is revealed. Being a part of it is such a joy.
Over these years I have done all of the jobs (with the exception of making music) that are part of creating and holding the space for this spiritual home. Every aspect of being a Unity student has and continues to enrich my life, add meaning, and provide direction along the path. It is an honor and privilege to be of service to our fabulous spiritual home that is Unity of Fort Collins.
Holding each of you who come across "our spiritual home on the web" in love and peace. May your blessings be rich and your path be clear and bright.
