Every day is a good day for thanks and gratitude, no matter what transpired the day before. No matter what you thought about someone, or said about someone, or someone said or thought about you, each new day is a good day for giving thanks, for expressing gratitude, for saying you love someone, for letting those closest to you know that you are there for them, no matter what is going on in their lives. Expressing your feelings in the right way helps you, and it helps others too. It’s up to you to decide what is the right way, for often the conventional reasons for helping, for giving thanks, for expressing gratitude and love just don’t fit. In your own circumstances, you decide. What is right?

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

It’s not too hard to imagine a better world ahead. It’s not too hard to think of peace to come, of hope in the air and in the hearts of the many who now suffer. Give them hope from your own heart. Send it through the air to them so that they may get a whiff of it and remember what hope feels like, what love feels like and what peace feels like too. Just a whiff is enough for the hearts of the sufferers to lighten for a moment, and remember.

Sending you love,

Everyone has good days and bad days. Everyone has highs and lows. Everyone has ups and downs. Keep this in mind as you take stock of how things have been going for you. Are you keeping in touch with your spirit and your heart’s intent? Are you loving and kind throughout your day? Are you open and willing to observe the lives of those you love as true journeys of transformation, just as your own is? Are you ready to accept, without regret, and move on when the time is right? Are you, on this very day, willing to accept that you still have so much to learn and still so much to give? Life is meant to be experienced. Keep that in mind as you have your own experiences in life and as you guide others through theirs. Life is meant to be experienced on ALL levels.

Sending you love,

Gradually increase putting your attention on that which forwards you toward a greater acceptance of what is. It’s so hard to accept reality sometimes, we know that, but it’s also so important to gain the ability to shift with the tides, so to speak. When something big happens in your life, the best thing to do is to remain optimistic, knowing that whatever is happening is leading you to some other understanding, some other experience of life, and some other means by which to achieve and fulfill your life’s dreams and ultimate purpose. If you remain open and eager to be guided and shown what you are supposed to learn, it will make the experience so much easier for you, and you will, in the end, be more easily able to accept what you have been needing to learn at this time in your life.

Sending you love,

It’s been a week! Give yourself a pat on the back for getting through it, for staying grounded and focused, for staying heart-centered and balanced, in spite of the whirlwinds of change all around you. The Earth itself has a lot to say, a lot to teach, and a lot to offer for the future. Stay always connected to the Earth, as the Mother, the Teacher, the Wise One. She always has something new to teach. Find your personal connection to her, your special place upon her where you can allow your warrior self to take a step back and relax, where your mind grows calm and your body feels alive and healthy. Find your secret spot. And remember, if you can’t always be there in person you can be there in your mind. Envision your secret spot so thoroughly that you are there at any moment of any day when you most need to be there. Your secret spot can be a real place or a totally imagined place of peace and beauty of your own construction. Use your creativity to mold this secret spot in your mind’s eye. It is your sanctuary in the midst of whirlwinds. It is your secret healing spot for you alone to retreat to when needed. It is your own heart-centered creation. Whether it exists in reality or has been created by your heart’s desire, it is yours.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne
