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!

When conflict arises in the world, notice how difficult it is to deescalate, how world leaders struggle to do the right thing, to make decisions that benefit the greater good. Some use conflict to promote their own agenda, others seek to avoid it. So is it with each human individual. The world situation reflects what is going on internally in some way; sometimes personal conflict promotes a personal agenda while at other times the wish to avoid conflict is the agenda. Within the self, study how conflict arises and whether it is being used against another or only against the self. Study the best way to resolve it, within and without. Look at the world outside of yourself and note how conflict only seems to lead to destruction. Is that really the wisest choice?

Let the light of each new day signal a new light turning on within, a burst of love, kindness and compassion for all whom you share the world with, a burst of creativity and problem solving, a burst of inspiration and insight that allows for greater understanding. With each new day and each new light within allow yourself to open a little more to the possibilities that exist, to the positive vibrations that await you and to the opportunity to grow a little bit more. Turn toward the light each day and know that this day too will be filled with goodness and hope, with caring and kindness, because that is what you are choosing.

Sending you love,

Let your feet guide you along on your path of heart as often as you let your mind and heart. Let them walk you in quiet walking meditation, take you on a nature trail, get you up and down so that there is plenty of movement and activity in your life. Sometimes just a shift of the body in a new direction will change things for the better. Let them decide what direction to take, for not only are they the feet of your physical body but also the feet of the spirit that resides in you, that is you. Let them show you today what you need to learn. Just as you often let your hands guide and teach you, look to your feet today. You may be surprised at what they know and where they take you.

Sending you love,

It’s never too late to find a path with heart, to shift a purpose, a direction, a habit, a dream. New possibilities abound on a daily basis. What choice to make? What direction to turn? What step to take? Every day offers a new opportunity to do something new, to change something, to begin something, to end something. Look around and notice what today offers and what is begging for change. What can you let go of today that has worn out its stay, that no longer serves you or the greater good? And what can you invite in, express, or let happen? There are so many fresh new options. What will it be?
