Every day is an opportunity to change something about yourself. So often you wish that someone else would change, that the world would change, or that a specific person would change. But how about you? Can you start with yourself today? Make some change that is not only noticeable but helpful and beneficial in some way to yourself and your personal world. Give something new a try by taking the first steps toward it. Sometimes the Universe needs you to start toward the goal you want it to provide, just to show it that you mean business and that you actually are ready to receive it.

Sending you love,

Unearth your deepest desires, your truest desires, a little bit more today. Rather than keeping everything stuffed down inside of you, let them be known in some way to your outer world. Write about them. Visualize and picture them in some way. Let the Universe know exactly what it is that you desire, right down to the minutest detail. Sometimes the Universe needs a little push because it can’t quite decipher all your desires and hone them down to one big one; that is your problem to fix. Set about fixing it by getting very specific, and then see what happens as you keep it constantly alive in your heart and mind, your dream of you.

It’s not unusual for life to take a sudden turn, for something to abruptly throw you off your well-worn path. At such times get your bearings by centering yourself and reminding yourself of your personal plan for growth and achievement. What is it that you say you are going to do but are not doing? What is it that you wish for but have not succeeded in finding? Perhaps an abrupt shift in one direction of your life will head you in the right direction to finally achieve your desired goals. The Universe has a funny way of playing games to get a reaction. Where is the Universe trying to get your attention?

Depending upon your frame of mind in any given moment, you will feel or not feel things happening to you. If something is very subtle you may miss it, but if something is quite painful or abrupt you will surely not miss it. Everything that happens to you is significant in that it is part of the journey you are on. Even the most subtle things, that you miss once, may come around again a second time, a little harder, to get your attention. It’s normal to not notice everything, so don’t worry. Just start today with getting more in tune with your body and your life as it unfolds. Try to see a theme in what is happening and where you are being directed to go. You may begin to see a pattern and begin to see the direction that you are slowly being nudged in. If it seems as if nothing is happening, just wait. Time will tell, as it always does. Sometimes it’s better to wait than to act anyway, so hang around a bit longer with your heart and your mind open to being shown what you need to know.

Sending you love,

Under normal circumstances” is an oft-used phrase, but it is no longer an apt term. Don’t waste your time and energy talking and thinking about what is normal. There is no longer any normal. Things are changing rapidly. Are you onboard? Are you prepared? It’s that time now. There is no longer a period of waiting for things to change. You are living through one of the greatest changes ever to visit the planet. Abide by the rules of loving kindness, by the wish for all beings to equally share what is available, by the wish for peace and tranquility for all. There exists no separation between you and another. That should be clear. Even those who appear to be quite drastically opposite from you are just fearful and afraid, and they act on that fear rather than reach for a higher perspective, the observer platform of life, where everything and everybody are part of the whole. Remain the eternal observer and, with a wide perspective in sight and heart, begin to understand that you are living in the unfolding time, the next big phase of changes. Remain steadfast in your practices of mindfulness and loving kindness. They are invaluable.
