I was fortunate to attend Unity starting in my childhood, but I truly felt that Unity was essential to my life during my teenage years. During a stage of life that is so rife with conflict, self-doubt, and a sense of powerlessness, Unity became my safe haven. Amongst both adults and peers, I experienced unconditional acceptance. I was empowered with the teachings of manifestation, affirmation, and divine order. Mostly, I learned that no matter what my external circumstances are, I always have the ability to co-create my life with God and find the good. I’m in my forties now and have never left Unity because the principles are essential to me leading a fulfilling and meaningful life.
