Guest Speaker, Rev. Jan Larsen shared "Excuses, Excuses..." Excuses are the roadblocks on the path to your best life—“I can’ts,” “maybe later.” They show up just as you start to dream bigger, to reach for something new. But in Unity, we know that Spirit calls us to live boldly, not from fear, but from faith.

Life begins at the edge of your comfort zone. That’s where transformation happens, where Spirit meets us ready and willing. If your dream is still vague, it will stay that way. What starts in vagueness, stays in vagueness. Speak your dream clearly and affirm it in prayer.

Be honest with yourself: what fear is holding you back? In Unity, we don’t pretend fear isn’t real—but we do remember it isn’t the Truth of who we are. Name it, bless it, and then let it go.

It is true, some people might not understand your journey. But your path is between you and God, not you and “everybody.” Don’t let the fear of judgment dim your light.

Remember: growth happens outside your comfort zone. This is where faith becomes action, and where we partner with Spirit to create something new. Excuses just keep us standing still, but the Divine is always calling us forward.

The life you want is waiting, just beyond the next brave step.
