A Message from the President of Spiritual Awakening Spiritualist Center
Dear Members and Friends, I hope everyone is managing to keep cool, and enjoying the sunshine whilst staying hydrated. August tends to be a busy month for ALL. Activities, family vacations etc... It is important that we all take good care of ourselves as well. So, be sure to drink plenty of water, rest when you need to, and spend some time sitting with Spirit and yourself. Every Tuesday evening, we have a Healing, Meditation and Mediumship Development Open Circle from 7:30pm to 8:30pm. At this service we send prayers of healing for those on the healing list, and for ourselves. We also enjoy a short 8-to-10-minute guided meditation to help center and ground us for the upcoming week. From 7:50pm until 8:30pm we have the mediumship development segment of our service when we give and receive messages from Spirit in a safe and learning environment. If you are interested in any of these areas of spiritual development, please feel free to join us. This meeting is on Zoom only and you will need a link/password to join the meeting. If you are not on our email list but would like to be kept up to date with services and events, please email me to be added at: thechurchofspiritualawakening@msn.com Looking forward to seeing you soon! Sending Much Love and Joy to you ALL. Michael thechurchofspiritualawakening@msn.com

VOICES FROM THE PAST
Ernest Hemingway once wrote: The hardest lesson I have had to learn as an adult is the relentless need to keep going, no matter how broken I feel inside. This truth is raw, unfiltered, and painfully universal. Life doesn’t stop when we are exhausted, when our hearts are shattered, or when our spirits feel threadbare. It keeps moving—unyielding, indifferent—demanding that we keep pace. There is no a hit pause button for grief, no intermission for healing, no moment where the world gently steps aside and allows us to mend. Life expects us to carry our burdens in silence, to push forward despite the weight of all we carry inside. And so it is when caring for someone with dementia The cruelest part? No one really prepares us for this. As children, we are fed stories of resilience wrapped in neat, hopeful endings—tales where pain has purpose and every storm clears to reveal a bright horizon. But adulthood strips away those comforting illusions. It teaches us that survival is rarely poetic. More often than not, it’s about showing up when you’d rather disappear, smiling through pain no one sees, and carrying on despite feeling like you're unraveling from the inside out. And yet, somehow, we persevere. That’s the quiet miracle of being human. Even when life is relentless, even when hope feels distant, we keep moving. We stumble, we break, we fall to our knees—but we get up. And in doing so, we uncover a strength we never knew we had. We learn to comfort ourselves in the ways we wish others would. We become the voice of reassurance we once searched for. Slowly, we realize that resilience isn’t always about grand acts of bravery; sometimes, it’s just a whisper—“Keep going.” Yes, it’s exhausting. Yes, it’s unfair. And yes, there are days when the weight of it all feels unbearable. But every small step forward is proof that we haven’t given up. That we are still fighting, still holding on, still refusing to let the darkness consume us. That quiet defiance—choosing to exist, to try, to hope—is the bravest thing we can do. We dig deep, and deeper still because we care for someone we love. Keep on keeping on and if you always wanted to be something, be kind.
