We speak of small gifts and everyday charms in order to offer methods of keeping calm and focused and to understand your ability to function at a heart-centered level no matter what is happening in the world around you. When you remain heart-centered and calm in your inner and your outer world you give those around you the best possible example of how to navigate a difficult period of life.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Perhaps the best antidote to the worst of times is to pull inward, to go into the quiet of self in some way that suits you. Perhaps you like to pray, to sit in meditation, or to dream of something for the future that invigorates or inspires you. Perhaps you like to write or draw or dance or tell jokes. Perhaps you enjoy the company of innocent children and all that they offer. Find both solace and purpose in the small gifts of everyday life that calm you and center you. Turn inward to find your source of inner wisdom and give of your knowledge when it is asked for and withhold it when it is not. Hold the place between the past and the future in calm balance within you and let it become your mode of operation as you weather through these difficult times.

Sending you love,

Do not let the sadnesses that permeate the earthly realm get you down. Know that from a higher perspective and a higher plane of thought there is something else that is happening, that other intelligences have your back. Yes, times are hard now and they will get harder but that does not indicate that it is time to give up. It just means that it is time to gather your wits about you, sit quietly and wait. All things change over time and time is in constant motion, thus time and change are always re-intertwining, re-forming and re-newing.

Sending you love,

Give thanks for the everyday gifts you are given, for the first glimpse of the rising sun, for the song of the birds, for the baby’s cry, for the earth beneath your feet and for the scent of autumn leaves in the air. Staying grounded in nature is one of the best healing medicines there is. Just walking barefoot in the grass or crunching over some fallen leaves will bring you back to your senses, literally and figuratively. Letting the sun fall upon your shoulders, feeling its warmth is a sure way to reconnect with the loving hand of Mother Nature and all her bounty. No matter where you live, if you look up at any time of day or night you can connect with nature in the heavens above, no matter what lies at your feet. Give thanks for the opportunity to witness and experience the glories of the natural world all around you.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Stay grounded in your hope for a better world to come, one where love for neighbors is uppermost, where love of compatibility in all sectors of life is apparent, where kindness and compassion find their place in the hearts and minds of the many, and where the only war is against the mention of war, against the words of dislike, distain, and domination over others. Keep the rhetoric curbed toward love, kindness, compassion and harmony, the solid foundations for a new world order. If you want to restore the world to its own Divine Order then begin the restoration now by using those tenets of Divine Order, every day, in your own life.

Sending you love,
