As we like to say, “Ask, and you shall receive.” When we hear you ask for something, from us on the other side, we are ready to respond, but we take things literally so be careful how you phrase your requests. We might hear one thing but you meant the opposite. So, if what you ask for doesn’t show up pretty soon check how you are wording your requests. Perhaps we responded to what you said but not what you wished. Don’t give up on us! Always give us another try!

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

As you continue the practice of turning away from the past and looking forward to the future, the rest of your body will begin to feel differently too. Before too long you will begin to notice that your head is quieter and your heart gets stirred more often. Your heart is calmer and your central nervous system has a different vibration, tuned down from anxiety about life and turned up to attunement with life. Your mind is quieter and you begin to notice when you forget to give thanks and gratitude on a daily basis. Your mind directs you away from the old negative voices and introduces you to those new voices of heartcenteredness and peaceful contentment. Slowly but surely, you notice that changes are happening inside you. And as you do, things outside of you will change as well.

All our love,

Forget the old that seeks to creep in and take you back to an old place. The old year is over and the New Year is well underway! Turn your back on the old and keep turning toward what is to come. What lies behind is well known, nothing new there, while what is ahead is a grand mystery! Doesn’t that thrill you? Doesn’t that make you want to jump out of bed every morning wondering what amazing thing will come your way today? Keep that attitude of gratitude alive and well, every day in every way!

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Express some gratitude today. Find something to be grateful for. No matter the circumstances of your present life, there is always something to be grateful for. Perhaps someone smiled at you. Maybe you found a penny on the sidewalk or you heard the cheery song of a bird. Maybe you are just happy to be alive, to be able to take a deep breath. Maybe you have someone in your life that you are grateful for, even someone who doesn’t know it. Once you start thinking about it, you might find that there’s a lot to be grateful for. Fill your mind with gratitude today, one thought at a time, rather than thinking about what’s wrong in your life, or in the world. Give yourself the gift of gratitude.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

The objective of life is to discover why you are in the life you are in. Part of that discovery is to clearly understand that everything that has happened to you, thus far, has all been part of your journey to discovering your true self. What defines you shapes you, and what shapes you makes you, and what makes you reveals who you truly are. You are everything that you think you are, and more. You are your past but also your future. You are a conglomerate of many past lives and many future lives. Your present self is infinite. And that’s why you are so capable of discovering why you are in the life you are in, because your infinite self knows everything. You already know. The trick is to remember!

All our love,
