FCUCC Forum Reminder

This Sunday, March 29 at 9:15: Messages to the Heart - Asheville authors Elise and Phil Okrend will offer a discussion based on their coffee table book, "Messages to the Heart, Reflections of Beauty and Truth."  

The couple found that they could extend the harmony in their marriage to bring healing and inspiration to other by combining their separate gifts.  Phil, a life coach, is skilled in working with individuals and groups, using words to bring hope and foster vision.  Elise is a painter who captures the wonder of creation through her pastels.  The two have combined those talents in their coauthored book, ""Messages to the Heart", pairing art and words.  The result is a message that speaks directly to your soul  One example from the book: Phil writes: "Character.  Don't be ashamed of heartache, pain, setback or struggle.  They have the means to shape you to forge courage, truth and to better serve others with the wisdom you gain from going through it.  Each trial you face and overcome is a step of empowerment for yourself and others."  The passage is paired with Elise's pastel landscape, Awakening. As the Okrends share passages and art from their book, we invite you to share your reflections and join in the discussion.
