Find your way to your loving self, to your heart center in its vastness, and ask yourself the question: What is my path now, at this point in my life? Times change, people and circumstances change and evolve, as have you. Who do you want to be now? Look to your heart for answers. It will speak clearly if you listen. It will tell you what’s really going on, what to believe and how to proceed. You may not like the truths your heart tells you, but it will not lie simply to make you feel better. It’s only interested in what’s right.

Sending you love,

No regrets. Make your life a series of happy events by allowing for change, by being flexible, and with a bright heart let nothing hold you back from being your true self. Too many conventions restrict, deny and inhibit the true self from being allowed to live to the fullest. But you are in charge. So make a life that is more, that is fulfilling and a delight to wake up to each day. Make a life for yourself that is creative in all ways, expressive of who you have the capacity to be. Don’t hold yourself back, which will only lead to resentment. No regrets.

Sending you love,

When you take responsibility for yourself and your life, everything begins to change. When you finally decide you’ve had enough of what has been and take over, something changes in the unfolding of life that could not happen before. In taking responsibility for yourself and your actions, your progress enters a new phase and life takes on not only new meaning but new energy as well. When decisions are made to change new life ensures, and when blame and shame are shed there is finally room for something new to take their place. Become your own best cheerleader and let your life really take off in a new direction. With intent, determination and the power within you everything is possible.

Sending you love,

Know yourself. Get to know and understand yourself, how you tend to operate, what triggers you to act or to defend, what causes you to stress out, to overdo, to fall into childish patterns of behavior. In knowing yourself the goal is to confront all those things about yourself that stand in the way of your progress, to free yourself from them so that you may arrive at a place of humility, love and compassion for yourself and others; for in knowing yourself you will know and understand everyone else as well. Get to know yourself in the deepest way so that you may experience life in the deepest way as well.

Sending you love,

Don’t give up on yourself. Keep going in the direction you have chosen. Stay on the path that will bring you the best results, the deepest satisfaction and a meeting with who you truly  are. A journey to wholeness will of course be fraught with challenges; they are part of the journey and necessary bumps in the road. A commitment to change the self is one of the greatest undertakings of a lifetime and well worth the effort. Plan on a day of reassertion, reaffirmation and resetting of purpose and intent. A path of heart is the only path worth traveling.
