Together, we thrive in 2025.
Beloved CSL communities,
As we step into a new year, let us pause together in gratitude for the journey we’ve shared and the promise of what lies ahead. The world is undeniably evolving, presenting us with new landscapes to traverse and opportunities to embrace. Change has been our constant companion over the past year, both within our beloved organization and in the world around us. Yet amid these shifts, we stand firm in the principles and values that have always guided us.
Our teaching reminds us that Divine Wisdom is at the center of all life, and it is this eternal truth that carries us through moments of uncertainty into clarity and purpose. Together, we envision a world that works for everyone — a world anchored in peace, love and justice. This vision is not just a guiding light for the years ahead; it is the very heartbeat of who we are.
In 2025, we are called to deepen our connection with this vision, to show up as agents of transformation in our communities and in the world. Let us remember that our principles of oneness, love and infinite possibility are not only timeless but also perfectly attuned to the needs of this moment.
In the words of Dr. Ernest Holmes, “Each day is a new beginning. I live in the eternal now, which is filled with good alone.” Let us embrace the truth of this teaching as we step into 2025, remembering the power of creation is always available to us in the present moment.
Change invites us to innovate, reflect and grow. As we build on the foundation of all we have learned, let us hold sacred space for one another, celebrate our shared successes and courageously step into the next iteration of our collective journey.
Together, we are creating a new chapter in the story of CSL, one that honors our past while boldly stepping into the future. May this new year bring each of you a renewed sense of hope, a deeper connection to Spirit and a powerful awareness of the love that unites us all. Thank you for the unique light you bring to our community and to the world.
With love and gratitude,
Rev. Dr. Soni Cantrell-Smith
