Find peace in the small everyday things that make up life. Find beauty in the tiniest beam of sunlight, in the smell of a rose, in the clouds in the sky, in the taste of something special. Let the little things guide you to appreciate how life’s little miracles offer enough on any given day. Open your eyes, your senses, your mind to the little offerings that you may be missing and let your heart rest in peace, if only for a moment at a time.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

It’s okay to desire change, to wish for peace, to believe in miracles. Though your society plods onward in its usual ways, it’s okay to look beyond the status quo to what else might be possible. To dream of a better world is one path of heart that awaits. To actually walk that path, that dream, offers the possibility of an actual better world. There is a difference between just dreaming and imagining and taking action to actualize a dream. Some of the best ideas fall by the wayside because they are never given life, never actualized. Don’t let your own dreams fall by the wayside. Take one step today to make them come true. And then do the same the day after. Things don’t ordinarily happen overnight. It’s in the daily step-by-step that they unfold and become reality.

Sending you love,

Change happens in slow increments but also in leaps and bounds. Sometimes it’s hard to wait for change to come, at other times it’s hard to keep up. To get in alignment with change is part of being in balance with life. Notice how changes in your life, and in the world around you, affect you and decide the best actions and reactions to take in keeping with where you are in life and where you want to be. When change is happening slowly, slow down and be with that pace. And when change comes in leaps and bounds, leap up and bound along with it. Do what is called for in each moment.

Notice how peaceful a calm weather day makes you feel within yourself, calm too, while a wild weather day makes you jittery and feeling unsafe, perhaps worried. Control of your central nervous system can be affected by things outside of you but also by things inside of you; thoughts are as worrisome as bad weather. Learn to speak to your central nervous system. Unlike an approaching weather system it will pay attention to you. You can calm it, placate it, urge it into peacefulness; it just takes practice. Breathe and speak kindly to yourself. You have the power you need within yourself to bring about the change you desire.

Stay connected to your own true self no matter what situation you find yourself in. To react out of true character helps no one. Remain heart centered and honest, in true harmony and balance, so that every thought and action comes from a deep level of self. In this manner, harmony and balance will reign outside of the self as well. As much as possible you will be doing your part to enhance the greater good.
