In this episode, Diane talks about the transition to her bigger collective purpose of helping people to understand that a “Miracle” is a change of perception. She has transitioned recently from her purpose of helping people with marketing messages through her company Creative Wonders, to focusing all her energy on her work as a Reverend inspired by the “Course of Miracles” material. She talks about the shift from the “individual” I purpose to the “We” purpose in service to many.
