Foster kinship with nature, even if only in some small way. You need nature, most importantly in the air you breathe. Everyone breathes and shares the air equally, and air is a most important aspect of nature and human life. Think of all the creatures, human, animal, insect, amoeba that share the air of life with you. Be amazed that every particle you breathe has been passed along from one life to another, from the heavens to the Earth, from the birds in the sky to the babes in arms. Remain in awe of this most important element with every breath you take, and with gratitude thank nature and your fellow creatures for the pure ability to simply breathe.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Refine your attempts to evolve and grow each day by facing what keeps you away from your goals, addressing your concerns with honesty and an attitude of absolute truthfulness. Evolution and growth may at times come in slow steps, for with you, just as with nature, there are dormant times. But even during dormant times tremendous things are happening out of sight. Those are the times of inner work and contemplation, perhaps the most important and unique strategy in human evolution, the ability to go within and contemplate the self on a deeper level. If you can change yourself on the inside by deep contemplation and study you will naturally change on the outside as well. What’s going on inside you today? That’s the question to ask, to face, and to work on within.

Sending you love,

You are connected to everyone, and to everything in nature too, and everyone and everything in nature is connected to you. There is a universal energy that flows to and through everything, including you. Even when you feel alone and out of sync with nature and the world this energy still flows through you. Slow down and you will feel it. Breathe and you will feel it. Hum and you will feel it. Close your eyes and just listen and you will feel it.

Sending you love,

Find solace in knowing that your Soul invented you, finds you pleasing and is eager to engage in life with you. Find solace in the fact that you are loved, wanted and eagerly watched over with loving kindness. Your Soul is your greater Self who knows all and wishes only for your growth and evolvement through a life of learning, for when you grow and evolve your Soul also grows and evolves. The two of you are quite a pair! Don’t be afraid to give voice and expression to your loving, creative Soul.

Sending you love,

Let not fear, complacency or habit keep you from greater exploration, experience and expression of life. Find a happy medium where nothing rules or overrules you but everything has its place. Turn inward more often to achieve the balance you so desire. Turn on your creativity and allow it a place in your life so that you are actively participating in a way that is nurturing to your soul. You have so much you want to do, say and create. Why not just do it? What have you got to lose? The only loss is to yourself, in the loss of your self-expression, and such loss inhibits your growth and explorative possibilities. It might just be time to go full force into that which you really want to do, for your own sake this time.

Sending you love,
