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.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Find happiness in small things, in the glint of sunlight shining through the leaves, in the sound of spring birds calling to each other, in the scurry to build nests and lay eggs, in the soft breezes that suggest fine summer days ahead. Let the calm and predictable journey of spring arriving assure you that all is unfolding according to plan, as it always does. Yes, each year there are changes to note, things unfolding earlier than normal, perhaps too many rainstorms or too few, perhaps too hot weather too soon, but in its own way nature calmly carries on. Do the same, carry on, but do so with a calm and knowing heart, for there is till so much more to come.

Sending you love,

Whatever you think of yourself, think beyond that. Think beyond the ideas you hold, the image you carry and the prognosis you have decided upon. There is so much more to you, to what you can do and be. Let your creative self loose into new life, activity and experimentation, to find out what fuller potential you carry within that is unexplored, held back and not yet experienced. Little by little, one day at a time, dare yourself to live a little more daringly. Say yes to something new today and see what happens.

Sending you love,

Misunderstandings happen all the time. They are normal occurrences in busy lives. Best to correct them immediately before they escalate into bigger battles. Conflict is common but agreement is better, common ground is better, peace is better. When there is conflict there is fear, fear of the other, and fear restricts, holds back and creates unnecessary pain and hardship. Seek resolution, within and without, so that misunderstandings do not lead to conflict and fear, and so that peace and harmony may be  restored, agreed upon and experienced.

Sending you love,

Watch where you put your attention and what thoughts you generate, especially about yourself. What are you perpetuating simply by thinking it? Negative thoughts tend to have negative reactions and outcomes, while positive thoughts generate positive reactions and outcomes. Practice on yourself. Notice where you think negatively and how such negative thoughts generate exactly what you concentrate upon, in your body, for instance. A constant thought of pain will generate exactly that pain. Shifting thoughts away from pain, to perhaps happiness, notice how feelings of happiness arise. You generate what you think, so why not think differently and generate something new. Try it. As a personal experiment it’s quite enlightening!
