		Happy Holidays! (Consider that all-inclusive) Hello! Thanksgiving is done and the shopping season has begun! Ugh. . AFFILIATE PROGRAM - I launched the affiliate program last month and so far so good. I still have some details to work out, so those of you who have signed up, you may not have gotten an email confirming it yet, but you are accepted. Please go check out the banners you can put on your site. The ULC Seminary is now offering an affiliate program! The link is: http://www.ulcseminary.org/idevaffiliate/. It's brand new, so more things will be added as I go, and there may be a few bugs, but I think it's ready to rock and roll right now. It's free to join You get a $10 bonus just for signing up. You earn money with every sale that comes through your link. You can track the link 24/7 to check on sales and traffic. You will get paid monthly. If you send me the pages that you have the banner on, I will help promote them through the search engines, which will help increase your sales. You can use any or all of the links on your website. I currently have several banners and some text links. You can choose which banner (s) you like, depending on what products you want to market. Each banner takes you to a separate category in the store that sells only those items. I am, of course, open to suggestions for improvement. The page it's on, currently, doesn't have the framework of the rest of the site because I haven't figured out how to do that yet, but I will learn more as time goes on. Once you sign up, there are a bunch of videos to help you get going. It's good stuff. Try it out and let me know what you think! I could use some people to beta-test it, so sign up and put in an order and you'll at least get a percentage off of your own order. I'm still checking to make sure everything tracks, so when you make an order, let me know and I'll go in and track it to be sure you get paid. I asked someone to beta test it, but he used the 'check or money order' option and I won't know how that tracks until the payment happens. So please try the credit card or paypal and I can track it and make sure it all works. GIANT SALE - I'm putting the Spirit Quest course on sale again for the month of December. It's $55 for this 8-month course. That's a $20 savings. http://www.ulcseminary.org/store/product_info.php?cPath=29&products_id=105 LATEST LESSONS - This last month flew by. Feels like all I did was work. What happened to the relaxing November and December from years before, when it was time to slow down, putter around the house, wrap presents, etc? No cookie-baking for me, I'm afraid. I haven't had time to do much of anything. I've been working on lots of things for the seminary. I've been updating all of the blogs, making sure they are all set up and linked correctly. That has been enourmously time-consuming. I've also been working throughout the internet to promote the Seminary. So mostly, I'm trying to mentally relax and just let things be. I had an overwhelming desire to tell someone 'close' to me what I thought of her, so I wrote a very clear email in that regard, then didn't send it. Won't do any good. I guess the trick to figure out what matters and what are pearls before swine. The other thing that comes up with the holidays is dealing with custody issues. For those of you who have children with someone you're no long with, you know what I mean. Either it's the stress of the back and forth, the stress that one parent isn't around for the kids, or the stress that the parent is technically there, but the kids don't want to go there. Not the ideal Christmas plan. Ah well, it's all an opportunity to grow, however uncomfortable the process may be. EVENT DIRECTORY - The event directly has been getting a lot of use. It's a great place to list all of the weddings, funerals and other events that you are doing as a minister. http://www.ulcseminary.org/eventdirectory.php Go to this page and you can input any and all of your weddings, funerals, handfastings, baby blessings/namings, etc. It will be recorded in our database for future reference. It won't be visible, but it can be retrieved if you ask. Check it out and let me know what you think. NEW COURSES - Too many things have come up recently for me to be able to commit to getting the new courses ready. It'll be a little longer until I get that going. ADDING ORDINATION OPTION TO YOUR OWN SITE - Another thing you can add to your own site, along with the affiliate program, is the ability to ordain others through your site. I've created a form that you can copy and paste into the body of a page of your website and your visitors can ordain themselves using YOUR website. It's something great you can offer people at no cost and little effort for you. I put the code at http://www.ulcseminary.org/ordinationform.php You can put it in a column, like I did at http://www.ulcceremonies.com or you can put it on its own page. I think it is a great way to spread the word of ULC and you're giving people the convenience of doing it right from your own site. There are also instructions to add a line to the code (cut and paste) so you will be notified whenever someone is ordained through your site. If you put the form on your site, send me a link and I'll check it out. :) Let me know if you have any problems and I can try to help. Please run a test on it to be sure it works properly. SPAM - INLCUDE A SUBJECT LINE PLEASE - The latest spam thing going out is to get emails from familiar addresses, but with no subject line. What that means is that if an email doesn't have a subject line, it will be deleted without being read. I'm sure I'm missing a few real ones that way, but to open all of them is very time-consuming, so please include a descriptive subject.

November 2010

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Harvest!

Hello!

The holidays are, once again, upon us! If you need to fix your name or email address, or other information, click.

AFFILIATE PROGRAM - The newest, most exciting thing that I've been working on is finally ready. I am asked, on an almost daily basis by ministers, if they know of any ways for their ministry to raise funds. Either that, or people tell me that they would love to take a class, but they are currently out of work or just don't have the money and many ask if I know of any jobs available. Jobs, specifically, no I don't, but after some thought, it occurred to me of a way that many of you can make some money for yourselves or your ministries.

The ULC Seminary is now offering an affiliate program! The link is: http://www.ulcseminary.org/idevaffiliate/. It's brand new, so more things will be added as I go, and there may be a few bugs, but I think it's ready to rock and roll right now.

It's free to join

You get a $10 bonus just for signing up.

You earn money with every sale that comes through your link.

You can track the link 24/7 to check on sales and traffic.

You will get paid monthly.

You can use any or all of the links on your website. I currently have several banners and some text links. You can choose which banner (s) you like, depending on what products you want to market. Each banner takes you to a separate category in the store that sells only those items.

I am, of course, open to suggestions for improvement. The page it's on, currently, doesn't have the framework of the rest of the site because I haven't figured out how to do that yet, but I will learn more as time goes on.

Once you sign up, there are a bunch of videos to help you get going. It's good stuff. Try it out and let me know what you think! I could use some people to beta-test it, so sign up and put in an order and you'll at least get a percentage off of your own order. I'm still checking to make sure everything tracks, so when you make an order, let me know and I'll go in and track it to be sure you get paid. I asked someone to beta test it, but he used the 'check or money order' option and I won't know how that tracks until the payment happens. So please try the credit card or paypal and I can track it and make sure it all works.

LATEST LESSONS - The last month or so has been a lesson in adjusting expectations. Expectations are normal. We all have them. We expect things of our spouses, significant others, teachers, students, parents, pretty much everyone we know. The difficult thing is when one's expectations aren't met. That's the point when you have to look past the disappointment and try to determine if it happened because your expectations were unrealistic or whether the other person is not someone you should place expectations on. Some people are basically not dependable.

I've been working on this. There are times I feel disappointed or sad and I've been looking at my expectations. I've found that I've often expected things of people who are not in a place to fulfill them. Even if it's something like a regular phone call or someone you can count on to pick you up from the airport. So I'm trying to adjust what I ask of people by what I know they are capable of and to withhold my judgment. Not always easy! By learning to be aware of other people's limitations, I can perhaps grow through my own.

EVENT DIRECTORY - I've had a lot of people ask me how to record their ceremonies and events with the church. I have created a place for you to do that. http://ulcseminary.org/eventdirectory.php

Go to this page and you can input any and all of your weddings, funerals, handfastings, baby blessings/namings, etc. It will be recorded in our database for future reference. It won't be visible, but it can be retrieved if you ask. Check it out and let me know what you think.

NEW COURSES - I've had people ask me if I had a course planned on Life Coaching, spiritual counseling, and I believe the other was Humanism. I don't currently have anyone who has offered to write such a course, but if you or someone you know is interested, please review the page http://www.ulcseminary.org/coursesubmission.php and get back to me. I will, probably next month, be offering a course on Theosophy. From what I've read so far, it's a fascinating course. I've had many courses submitted to me recently, but I haven't had time to look at all of them. If you are one of those who have sent me something and have yet to hear back, please don't despair - I'm working on it!

ADDING ORDINATION OPTION TO YOUR OWN SITE - Another thing you can add to your own site, along with the affiliate program, is the ability to ordain others through your site. I've created a form that you can copy and paste into the body of a page of your website and your visitors can ordain themselves using YOUR website. It's something great you can offer people at no cost and little effort for you.

I put the code at http://www.ulcseminary.org/ordinationform.php You can put it in a column, like I did at http://ulcceremonies.com or you can put it on its own page. I think it is a great way to spread the word of ULC and you're giving people the convenience of doing it right from your own site.

If you put the form on your site, send me a link and I'll check it out. :) Let me know if you have any problems and I can try to help. Please run a test on it to be sure it works properly.

HEADER - I have managed to fix the header on the site after I 'fixed' it. lol. I changed the drop-down menu to being just one menu for the whole site. I may have missed a few pages, but I'll be working on it.

SPAM - INCLUDE A SUBJECT LINE PLEASE - The latest spam thing going out is to get emails from familiar addresses, but with no subject line. What that means is that if an email doesn't have a subject line, it will be deleted without being read. I'm sure I'm missing a few real ones that way, but to open all of them is very time-consuming, so please include a descriptive subject.

Rumors Hello All! Kevin and I have received numerous emails recently about people who have had the misfortune of being involved with Michael Cauley, who runs a tiny little website, the 'ulcnetwork'.  His members seem to have come from the ministers who were signed up with the monastery's social networking site, while he worked there. Cauley has sent numerous emails to those members and has posted all over the web that those who don't give him money to be ordained through his little site will be permanently removed from ULC, since he plans on taking it over.  His latest thing is to say that we are a Satanist church.  I'm sure that for all but perhaps a few of you out there, you will find that insulting.  Or at least amusing. His taking over the ULC is completely untrue.  He has zero affect on anyone's ordinations with anyone but whoever has decided to send him the $39.95 that he requires. In other words -- relax.  Nobody is taking over the ULC.  He is one minister, with one tiny little website, and way too much time on his hands. If you have any questions about it, contact me, Kevin, or Andre.  We'd be happy to answer any of your questions. --Amy ******************************* The Universal Life Church is a comprehensive and affordable online seminary where we have classes in Christianity, a beginning course on  Wicca, as well as a beginning course on  Paganism, two courses in Metaphysics and much more.

Universal Life Church October 2010 Announcements Hello! SPECIAL THIS MONTH - For the month of October, you will receive a free ULC pin for any order (not counting shipping) that exceeds $75. LATEST LESSONS - Over the last couple of months, I seem to keep finding myself in the position to talk with people about self-perception, which makes me think I must be working on it myself. Those of us who tend to counsel others (and you all know who you are), do it because we can. Simple as that. As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. Counseling isn't so much power as it is ability. And those who can, do. So I seem to find myself talking to some of the most amazing people I've ever met, helping them to discover that they don't need to keep feeling like there's something wrong with them. I have always found it odd that those who are the most capable and competent, question themselves the most. The recurring theme I keep bumping into is about lies. Or should I say 'half-truths'. For instance, those who were told at a young age that abuse was love, and that they have no control over their world, other than to take the blame for the bad things that happen. It breaks my heart to see these amazing people feeling awful for the craziness around them, thinking the craziness is them. Or caused by them. Mostly, it's not. I've also found, on a separate note, that it's frightfully easy to commit welfare fraud. I've not done this myself, of course, but it is being done by someone I know. A fraud investigation was promptly launched and we shall see if truth prevails. That kind of thing (another lie/half-truth) makes me crazy. On a personal level, I was promoted to third degree black belt in American Kenpo last weekend. It has been years since my last promotion and, thanks to my wonderful instructor (who I got after my previous promotion) I have learned an enormous amount about the art. I know it's not ULC related, but it feels really good. EVENT DIRECTORY - I've had a lot of people ask me how to record their ceremonies and events with the church. I have created a place for you to do that. http://www.ulcseminary.org/eventdirectory.php Go to this page and you can input any and all of your weddings, funerals, handfastings, baby blessings/namings, etc. It will be recorded in our database for future reference. It won't be visible, but it can be retrieved if you ask. Check it out and let me know what you think. NEW COURSES - I've had people ask me if I had a course planned on Life Coaching, spiritual counseling, and I believe the other was Humanism. I don't currently have anyone who has offered to write such a course, but if you or someone you know is interested, please review the page www.ulcseminary.org/coursesubmission.php and get back to me. QUESTIONS ABOUT SOME OF THE LATEST ULC DRAMA - Hopefully, most of you have been kept out of the loop when it comes to some recent drama within the various sites of the ULC, but Kevin, Andre and I have all been receiving emails and phone calls about it for months, so it does bear addressing. If you have been spared the drama, then this may be of little interest. As many of you know, there was a split between headquarters (ulchq.com) and the monastery (ulc.org) in August of 2006. This was due to an internal problem within the monastery, which is still under legal debate. Daniel Zimmerman (who owned it) closed the site, but not before it was 're-appropriated' by its current owner. Soon after, the monastery changed its domain name to themonastery.org, redirecting traffic, and call themselves the monastery storehouse. Neither headquarters, Kevin (ulc.net), nor I have anything to do with them. Their ordinations are separate and they are not part of the long-standing, international Universal Life Church, whose president is Andre Hensley. The monastery has since bought up over 200 domain names (including ulchq.net and .org) to confuse people into thinking they are the original and real ULC Headquarters. They are merely ministers, doing their own church, just like many of you. This is not news. The thing that has happened more recently is the emergence of a man named, Michael Cauley. He began working for the monastery, managing their social networking site. While using their resources and collecting the information from ministers on that site, he decided to open his own church. He calls it the ulcnetwork and it's a Christian-only site. What he has been telling people is that, basically, if they are not ordained with him, they are helping Satan. Most people, I suspect, recognize the ridiculousness of his claims. Unfortunately, some people have been subjected to personal phone calls from him and insulting email rants. He has zero affiliation with the ULC, other than being a regular minister with his own little ministry and apparently a database of ministers from his association with the monastery. His 'school sign' is a computer generated one, making it appear he has a building. Even the monastery dismissed him from their employ. Your ordinations are valid if done through the Seminary, ulc.net or ulchq.com. I don't know about how the ones through the monastery are viewed. I can't say one way or another. As for Cauley, yes he is the one with the long rap sheet for fraud. I find it too much of a coincidence that he be anyone but the same person with the same name, living in the same town. Florida doesn't seem to recognize supposed corporation. He promises employment for anyone who goes through his little academy at large salaries. He claims victimhood at the hands of George Freeman (Br. Martin, at the monastery). He's no victim. And he claims that all that attacks he made on me, Andre and Kevin, were part of the monastery's plan. "Just following orders" -- does that sound familiar? I believe we are responsible for our own actions and blaming others doesn't work for me. ADDING ORDINATION OPTION TO YOUR OWN SITE - I had a cool thought last month. I thought it would be great if I offered to you the option of ordaining others through your own site. If you want to give people the opportunity to become ordained, I've provided the code to put on your site which will create a form that people can fill out to have their ordinations sent directly to headquarters. (It's free for you to do this, of course.) I put the code at http://www.ulcseminary.org/ordinationform.php You can put it in a column, like I did at http://www.ulcceremonies.com or you can put it on its own page. I think it is a great way to spread the word of ULC and you're giving people the convenience of doing it right from your own site. There are also instructions to add a line to the code (cut and paste) so you will be notified whenever someone is ordained through your site. If you put the form on your site, send me a link and I'll check it out. :) Let me know if you have any problems and I can try to help. Please run a test on it to be sure it works properly. NEW COURSES - The master of Spiritual Leadership course was sent out recently as a sample. For those who got a partial one first, I apologize. Weirdness with the mailing program. The new course can be viewed at http://www.ulcseminary.org/store/product_info.php?products_id=214 HEADER - On a side note: Somehow I messed up the header of our site. It looks fine on my side until I publish it. Suggestions for fixing it would be appreciated. TESTIMONIALS - I know I keep talking about adding video to the site and I haven't done it yet, but I promise that it's on its way. I'd like to add more video to the website. I have a camera and I'm going to get started adding video sections with blurbs and such to talk about different things. What I would love is to have you all do the same thing, if you would. If you have access to a video camera of any sort, videotape yourself talking briefly about weddings you've done, any of the books or products that you've used, classes you've taken, the church you started, etc. I'd love to get a montage of these and put them throughout the site. A short .mwv file (2 min. or less) would be great. Something I can play on windows. I'll edit them together into a few clips to post. Cool, huh? It would also be great to put a face/voice with so many of your familiar names. SPAM - The latest spam thing going out is to get emails from familiar addresses, but with no subject line. What that means is that if an email doesn't have a subject line, it will be deleted without being read. I'm sure I'm missing a few real ones that way, but to open all of them is very time-consuming. I've also had a suggestion/reminder from one of our ministers to please be mindful of the elderly and disabled. If you live in an apt., be aware that they may appreciate some help from time to time. If there is an emergency, keep in mind to help them and check on them. There, but for the grace of God, go I.

The  prize doesn't always go to the most  deserving....     Irena  Sendler There  recently was a death of a 98 year-old lady named  Irena. During WWII, Irena, got permission to  work in the Warsaw  Ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist. She had  an 'ulterior motive' ... She KNEW what the  Nazi's plans were for the Jews, (being German.)   Irena smuggled infants out in the bottom of the  tool box she carried and she carried in the back  of her truck a burlap sack, (for larger kids..)   She also had a dog in the back that she trained  to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and  out of the ghetto. The soldiers of course wanted   nothing to do with the dog and the barking  covered the kids/infants noises.. During her  time of doing this, she managed to smuggle out   and save 2500 kids/infants. She was caught, and  the Nazi's broke both her legs, arms and beat  her severely. Irena kept a  record of the names of all the kids she smuggled  out and kept them in a glass jar, buried under a  tree in her back yard. After the war, she tried  to locate any parents that may have survived it  and reunited the family. Most  had been  gassed. Those kids she helped got placed into  foster family homes or  adopted.   Recently,  Irena was up  for the Nobel Peace Prize ... She was  not  selected.   However,  Al Gore won, for a slide show on Global Warming  and Barack Obama won for a speech on  peace.   Powerful  message, especially the "cartoon."  Let us  never forget!   63  years later         In   MEMORIUM  - 63 YEARS  LATER Please  read the little cartoon carefully, it's  powerful.   Then  read the comments at the end. I'm doing  my small part by forwarding this message.     I  hope you'll consider doing the  same. In  Memoriam         It is  now more than 60 years after World War  II in   Europe  ended. This  e-mail is  being sent as a memorial chain,  in memory of the 20 million Russians, 10  million Christians, 6 million Jews and  1,900 Catholic priests  who were murdered,  massacred, raped, burned and  starved with  many of the world's  people looking  the other way!   Now,  more than ever, with extremist  Muslims claiming the Holocaust to  be 'a myth,' it's imperative to make sure the  world never forgets, because Muslim extremists  are trying to do it  again. This  e-mail is intended to reach 40 million people  worldwide! Join  us and be a link in the memorial chain and help  us distribute it around the  world. Please  send this e-mail to people you know and ask them  to continue the memorial  chain.

A Fundraiser from one of our minister's church

Presents

Fundraiser Rally

"Why Can't We Be Friends"

Safe Haven of Change is putting on a rally/fundraiser to support our program: "Why Can't We Be Friends." This is a program for youths, teens, and young adults that are having problems with domestic, social violence in the community, society and neighborhood. The ongoing violent death, murders and brutal violence among each other needs to stop. You are killing future mentor, leaders and business successors of the present and future. "Why"? A pair of customs glasses, coats, shoes, and drugs is just plain stupid. You young people have a better choice to live, instead of dying so young, without meaning or purpose. I can think or know a thousand different things to do or be instead of "Dead"!

You have places to go, careers to better your life and standards. You have to try or you may be next.  We are not going to tell you, what to do, but what can be done to make us better. Join Us!

In addition: Safe Haven of Change Ministry is a nonprofit 501c3 organization that will be sponsoring a program "Why Can't We be Friends" for domestic and social violence youth, teens and young adults. On September 25, 2010 12noon-4pm @ 4438 Rosa Parks Blvd Detroit off W. Canfield in the field. Also Safe Haven of Change Ministry's will be sponsoring a program for young adults, and adults that want to start their own enterprise or business. We know sometimes working with or for someone else can be stressful and painful, so "Why not do you." You are the boss or your own boss. People with good ideas, courage and belief in self, do it everyday. You should feel confident in yourself and ideas. Let's go for it. Stand up young adults of the future. Time is passing, are you? Join us!

"Our Goal is to raise $10,000 or more, to buy uniforms and school supply for the first 200 hundred children and young adults with parent or guardian. Remember! "In order for the Fruit to be ripe and successful, the "Tree" must produce, good and ripe Fruit also. Safe Haven of Change will be grateful for all contributions, donations, and charity funds will be deeply appreciated. Thank you

Universal Life Church

The Directory seems to be down For reasons unknown to me, our directory seems to be down.  I just got back from a two-week vacation, so I don't know how long it has been down.  I came back from vacation and promptly got some sort of flu bug.  Hard to say exactly, but I feel like crud. Also, it has come to my attention that when some people are trying to go to the ulc.net site, they are being re-directed to the monastery site.  I'm sure that this is some sort of amazing coincidence.  However it happened, I would strongly suggest that you all run a virus/spyware/malware scan on your site to remove any possible defective programing. If you've sent me any emails in the last few weeks, please be assured that I'm not ignoring you.  I just took a much-needed break.  I came back home to 1800 emails.  That'll teach me to take a vacation. I'll get to you as soon as I can.  :) --Amy ******************************* The Universal Life Church is a comprehensive and affordable online seminary where we have classes in Christianity, a beginning course on  Wicca, as well as a beginning course on  Paganism, two courses in Metaphysics and much more.
