One of the great blessings in my life has been to be a coach of the Lynbrook Owls varsity lacrosse team. I now serve as a volunteer assistant coach on a lacrosse program with which I have been involved for 45 consecutive years. In 2008 I turned over the head coaching duties to my friend and colleague who had been my assistant for many years.
I certainly have a great deal of experience coaching high school boys in several sports since 1972. My role, however, has radically changed. It is simple but significant. I help the players and coaches to focus on the Shakti.

I find that my mind really has a hard time letting go of the need to know answers. My mind prefers to have a step-by-step playbook for how things should be moving forward and it experiences suffering when I don’t have one to follow.
I am at the stage in my awareness where I fundamentally understand the “idea” that I Am Spirit, that I have a mind but I am not the mind, but I still get pretty easily pulled back into identification with my mind.

When I first started studying the Course, it turned my world up side down. I thought I knew exactly who I was and where I was going. I wasn’t very happy, but I wasn’t extremely unhappy. As I looked out at the world I knew, I figured experiencing ups and downs was just a part of our ever changing world. I could assure myself that not one person here is really happy. Our states of being seem to go up and down with the stock market, the weather or any other circumstance. This is the world of form.

Once upon a time I was a sad, lonely human being. Or at least that’s what I believed. Everything was always so hard! I worked and efforted and would try so hard to be happy, to be even okay. But it was always more problems, more disappointments, more hardship. Those times when I did feel some happiness or love always had a cloud hanging over me with a hidden message of gloom: “Even if you are happy for awhile, it will end!”

Before she was an author and a minister, Reverend Maria Felipe was an actress, a model, and a TV host with a fabulous French boyfriend. She appeared in national commercials, was the first ever Latina boxing announcer, and interviewed World Wrestling Federation competitors in front of audiences of twenty thousand people. People Magazine in Español even referred to her as “Una Campeona Sin rival,” which means a champion without rival. But through it all, she felt insecure, unworthy, and downright miserable.
All that began to change when she discovered A Course in Miracles and eventually went on to get her ministerial training from Pathways of Light.
Now, in her new book, Live Your Happy: Get Out of Your Own Way and Find the Love Within (New World Library, April 22, 2017), Maria shares her more than twenty years of experience studying and living the principles from ACIM. This is not a philosophic explanation of the Course. It is a practical, hands-on guide for actually living it. We hope you’ll enjoy this excerpt from the book.

It is true. I am an Ordained Ministerial Counselor (O.M.C.) from Pathways of Light since 2008. But what best defines my ministry?
My ministry seems to be a tapestry of people, places, and organizations that have weaved in and out of my life over these many years. Whoever or whatever showed up in my past was meant to be there as a lesson in learning ACIM-style forgiveness. Whatever or whoever shows up in my future will be there as the perfect forgiveness opportunity. But it is in the present moment – now - that I most need to stay connected to my Source.
