When the outside world is in turmoil seek to keep it from reverberating too strongly within you. Acknowledge it, accept it for the time being, but envision a changed world ahead. It is not too farfetched to say that if enough people collect their thoughts and intentions upon change, especially for the greater good of all, that it will have an impact. You are all interconnected energy sources. You have the power within you to use that energy to produce the world you wish to inhabit. This is your super power. Don’t be afraid to use it.
Let not the sorrows of the past year threaten your joy about a new year ahead. Let not the old stand in the way of the new. When the old sadness rears its ugly head, turn away and find a place of light so that you may shift your attention in a new and unknown direction. Reconcile with the old but look forward to the new. Let the old go but grab onto something new and unusual that will invariably pull you forward. Leave resentments and regrets fully explored on the pile of the past and open your heart to what is rushing toward you. Turn a little bit more toward the light of the new, each day, and expect that it is excited to see you as well, because it surely is!
As sad as the world outside of you is proving to be, keep up your inner happiness, your inner change, your inner striving for good and loving expression of all that you have learned about human spirit potential. Look upon all beings as spirits of perfection, just as you are learning to look upon yourself. What makes people do the crazy things they do, you might ask. First, look to yourself. Perhaps you already know what makes you do the crazy things you do, or perhaps you have not been ready to know. Something inside you is always ready to teach you. When you are ready, open the door that will lead you into a greater understanding of all of life, and within that understanding crazy will be explained and possibility will be revealed. That then becomes your next big step to take, into new possibility.
As 2025 comes to an end and the New Year begins, we would like to thank everyone who has traveled with us, those who are new to our work and those who have followed our work for a long time. We are full of gratitude for the journey we have all taken together.
Some of you have accompanied us from the very beginning, when we first created and launched our website, and others have found your way to us through word of mouth or happenstance. Riverwalker Press has been around now for twenty years! Wow!
It is always our pleasure to share what we learn about life, to make some small but hopefully meaningful contributions as we figure out the worlds we inhabit, our mysterious inner world and our equally mysterious outer world as well.
As we step into 2026, we bring you a new offering. Our Soulbytes will be published every day of the week, including Saturdays and Sundays, so there will be no interruptions in guidance from the Universe. The Universe is always ready to communicate. So are we!
As we all pull back into the quietude of the season, we wish everyone a calm and peaceful holiday season, ringed round with joy and permeated with love. May the New Year bring the gift of good fortune and good will to everyone, at home and around the world, in all worlds.
When you tap into your spirit self, in whatever way that happens for you, you also have access to a part of yourself that is all-knowing, all-feeling, all-seeing, all-loving. This is that perfect spirit self that, if you let it guide you, will bring you one day closer to your true abilities, to your true talents, to your true gifts. Can you let yourself be truly gifted? Can you allow that you are more than your body and your mind, that you are indeed spirit perfection? The more you allow this notion of self as something other than what you see in the mirror, the more you will be able to tap into your fuller potential. Let some of your true gifts shine through today. Even just putting a smile on your face will show the world that you are more than just your physical body.
