Let not your temper get the better of you today. Hold onto the feelings in your heart that you encouraged yesterday, the feelings of thankfulness and gratitude that make every day better. Hold onto your heart’s intent to be more thankful and grateful for all that life brings to teach you, to show you where to go next and to guide you to peace and contentment. Whatever is making you angry today, ask yourself why, and face that it has come to guide you to something important, something that needs to be pointed out to you. The little angers in life lead the way to the bigger insights that will allow you to grow and change, and that is good!

Sending you love,

It’s not every day that you get to thank someone. Why not just be thankful every day, even without someone else to express thanks to? Why not just be grateful every day too? A life filled with gratitude and thanks is a rich life indeed. Being able to say thank you is a gift. Being able to express gratitude is another gift. From your heart, both of these words can be expressed to yourself, within yourself, as well as to others. With thanks and gratitude nothing will ever seem impossible, nothing will ever appear to be too much. Try saying them a little bit more each day. Thank you and I am grateful!

Sending you love,

They say that it’s good to take it one day at a time, to not plan for what might or might not happen. But that phrase also means to not be weighed down by what has already happened. It means to live in the moment of now, without attachment to what came before or to what might possibly come. Nothing is certain, so even the unfolding of this day is uncertain. Can you be okay with that and go forward one step at a time, trusting that you are well prepared for whatever may come next? Can you just be in the moment of the day as it is? One day at a time indeed!

Sending you love,

Have you forgotten that you are always being guided and helped through life? Have you lost touch with all that has meaning for you? Have you come so far in life that you have left all your dreams about yourself in the dust? Each day, bring back to yourself the memory of your innocence, of your dreams, of your creative self who only wanted to live a wonderful life. Why not begin there and begin to make it happen now? It’s never too late.

Sending you love,

Your strong intent is one of your greatest skills, but the other, perhaps less used, is your softness, your ability to relax and let the Universe guide you and show you just how everything is supposed to unfold. Can you let go of your strong desire that is strongly tied to your intent and just let things be? Can you acquiesce to the fact that you don’t have to work so hard for what you want because it is already unfolding? Can you loosen up a little and just enjoy life as it is? Soon you will be far from this day and the things that are part of this day, both the good and the bad, and you will barely remember them. Is the agita really worth it? Perhaps just breathing and trusting that you are protected and guided is enough to assure you that you have nothing to worry about. All will be well.
