Choosing Courage Over Fear: Navigating Troubled Times
Laurie Crosse, Barbara Castellana Stasiak, & Marjorie Wormser, guest presenters, Morristown UU Fellowship
There is much to be afraid of as we deal with climate change, political division, economic uncertainty, resource disparity, healthcare crises. Our Unitarian Universalist principles and our connections in community can inspire, guide, and strengthen us as we choose to live by honoring human dignity and striving for just relations.
Music: Evan Schwartzman, guest musician
Joining us as part of the Leadership Leaves program, Laurie Crosse, Barbara Castellana Stasiak, and Marjorie Wormser are longtime UUs (4+ decades each) with extensive experience in Worship Arts and developing lay-led services, currently at Morristown Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. Professionally, Laurie is a music therapist, Barbara is a retired teacher of visual and performing arts, Marjorie is a pediatric occupational therapist, and all three developers of this service are lovers of vocal music.
Evan Schwartzman, pianist and composer, retired after a 30-year career in finance technology to resume his musical activities. As a pianist, he has given recitals as soloist and chamber musician in the NY metropolitan region. He earned a Masters in theory and composition from Rutgers University.

November Theme: NURTURING GRATITUDE
It’s not what we have that constitutes our abundance, but what we appreciate.
We enter the world as strangers who all at once become heirs to a harvest of memory, spirit, and dream that has long preceded us and will now enfold, nourish, and sustain us. The gift of the world is our first blessing.
It could happen any time, tornado, earthquake… Or sunshine, love, salvation… That’s why we wake and look out — no guarantees in this life. But some bonuses, like morning, like right now.
So much has been given to me; I have no time to ponder over that which has been denied.
Happiness does not make us grateful, gratefulness makes us happy.
When you are with someone who has developed the habit of gratitude, you SO want what they have. They are not grasping for more. They are savoring, shaking their heads slightly with the quietest wonder.
You wander from room to room, hunting for the diamond necklace that is already around your neck!
With gratitude, optimism is sustainable. If you can find something to be grateful for then you can find something to look forward to, and you can carry on.
