Strive for balance so that the energy of desire is in synch with the creative within, so that what you want in life does not overpower what you need, so that how you live does not overpower the desires of your spirit, so that your body, mind, and spirit maintain a passionate yet sympathetic balance at all times. In balance find stability, calmness, and a creativity that is unmatched. Each day is another opportunity to strive for balance.

Sending you love,

When difficulties arrive step back from the turmoil and contemplate right action. Not all action is right, though the reaction to lash out, to confront, or to retaliate may first arise as the only recourse. Step back into your heart center and wait patiently for calm suggestion. When the heart is allowed to speak its truth you may wonder at what it has to say, but over time you will discover its wisdom. The wisdom of the heart is hard to ignore.

Sending you love,

Stand up for yourself and what you believe in but make sure that what you believe in is truly right. Know yourself fully and deeply so that you are clear on what it means to believe in something so deeply that you will stand up and show how much it means to you. To truly believe in something takes heart and soul and an unbending intent. Often a cause is believed in that truly has no heart and soul. Know your own heart and soul in order to make informed decisions and to act when the time is right to stand up, not only for what you believe in but for yourself as well.

Sending you love,

When you need help, ask for it. There is no simpler suggestion. There are guides and helpers ready to offer aid and yet they will not act until called upon or needed in some abrupt way. A simple word—HELP—is all that is needed. You will know that your plea has been answered when things work out unexpectedly, when help arrives in unexpected form, and when you cannot explain how something suddenly appeared to help out at a most dire moment. To ask for help is not a weakness, it is the greatest gift you can give yourself.

Sending you love,

There is enough time to accomplish what needs to be done. Notice how in nature things grow and mature, achieve completion no matter the weather. The flowers bloom, the fruit ripens, the leaves turn green then red, yellow and orange as they mature. Find calmness and the peace of mind necessary to grow and mature in life, to complete what needs to be done with dignity and respect for self and others, and to experience what needs to be experienced with an open heart and an open mind. There is enough time for your dreams too. Slow down and you will find the time for everything.
