Center yourself in knowing that you have within you all that you need to live a life that is fulfilling, meaningful, and stable. You might not figure everything out at once but the capacity does lie within you. Learn from your own life, and from the lives of those around you, what you want to do and how you want to spend your time. Look to nature to guide you as well, to its unfolding seasons, to the coming and going of night and day, to the play of light and shadow. You may not get everything right at first, but give it your best effort and before long you will find your way to what is right for you.

Sending you love,

Monitor your energy. What are you doing to compromise it? Tend to it as you would a fire, feeding it and keeping it alive, bright and clear, like a flame full of warmth and light. Your energy is your life force and it needs taking care of, just as your body does. And, indeed, in much the same way as the body. So keep it in good condition with both rest and activity, spiritually, mentally, physically and emotionally. Let it both play and reflect, enjoy life to the fullest but also take time to retreat and recharge. You can’t go wrong in life if you take care of your whole self!

Sending you love,

Find solace in knowing that just as nature finds its way to new life each spring, changing and evolving out of the dead of winter, so too will you change. Plant the seeds of spring now within the self, the hopes, dreams, and intentions for change and new life, and tend to them so that all is prepared for their fruition. Hold yourself responsible for nurturing and supporting yourself through whatever matter arises that needs attention. If you remain steadfast upon a path of change that is loving, compassionate, kind and honest, your intentions will flourish.

Sending you love,

Relax, breathe, and know that you are in command and capable of bringing yourself to inner peace and safety. When the world outside is chaotic that doesn’t mean you have to be chaotic as well. Quite the opposite. When the world outside is chaotic that is the signal for you to buckle down to the good work of inner peace and calmness, for every action you take reflects into the world. So, if you are peaceful and calm you reflect that into the world around you, tempering the chaos. This is powerful medicine. Use it wisely.

Sending you love,

Look no further than where you are. Revel in each moment as it brings you its revelations, joys, sorrows, insights and offerings. In each moment is an opportunity to remain calm and inwardly focused, as you ask, what does this moment mean to me now? Without looking to move onward, stay in the present moment and experience it fully. Soon it will be gone and its lessons forgotten. But, luckily, a new moment will have arrived. Breathe, and enjoy it for what it brings.

Sending you love,
