Petty tyrants come and go, those who make life difficult or miserable. How you react to such people is always up to you. No matter the situation your choice of attitude can make all the difference. It’s your spirit that matters, your greater intent in life, and your outlook on life in general that can get you through any dark time. Staying centered within the self at all times, positive of outlook, anchored in the knowledge that you matter and that your progress is assured will get you where you need to be. Take advantage of any time in life as a time of learning and growth, even the dark times. With the right attitude that is always possible.

Sending you love,

Wintertime is a time of silent preparation for what is to come, new life preparing to burst forth in spring. Weather patterns show possibilities, how day to day things change. One day there is snow, the next rain. One day is cloudy, another sunny. But underneath it all things are busy slowly being born. So is it with the life of the human, things are always waiting to be born. The spirit waits for its chance to live, to become known and to express itself. Notice its creative urges each day. Look for it each day inside you too, your own spirit hinting at what it is truly capable of.

Sending you love,

Life can sometimes seem like the ocean on a rough day, full of swells and treacherous decisions and then the next day it’s calm and flat as a still lake. Steadiness is being able to withstand the changes. Steadiness comes with practice, with setting intentions that are doable and promote a forward pattern of growth. Steadiness comes with maturity too, in learning the ways of the world, but also the ways of the self, setting a plan and sticking too it, reminding the self often of dreams to come. A simple dream of steadiness is a wonderful dream in itself.

Notice how your good intentions need constant reminders to remain viable and in your consciousness, how easily they slip away when you take your attention off them. Like water they flow away. Like the wind they are gone. Turn them into substantial reminders so that they do not flow away like water under a bridge or blow away like the wind, so that they remain in the mind as mantras to change. Change is good, but don’t forget that even change must be constantly engaged if it is to have the desired effects. Keep your intentions alive and well and all will be well with you as well!

Sending you love,

Spend some time today in quiet contemplation, alone and away from the hustle and bustle of life, away from the busy thoughts that rumble constantly through your head. Stand or sit or lie down, and without falling asleep let your body relax. Let your mind empty and grow quiet as you concentrate on this one thought: “I am only energy in this moment; everything is energy.” Let yourself feel energy pulsing and forming you, and let it be calm. Molecules in vibration, energy in motion. Feel energy pulse into the form of your body, forming you. Know that you can calm it and contain it and experience it as your wholeness at any time. This is you. You are a being of energy.
