Shift away from negative thoughts, from old ideas of the self, from the constant voice that shows up only to taunt and criticize, telling you that you are doing things wrong, not good enough, not, not, not. Find new words that will lift you up and away, positive affirmations to shift you out of the doldrums. A simple new thought that is positive and endearing is all it takes, an idea that you are indeed good, better, best. Let the old slip away like an old worn out coat and take on the new as easily as you pull a blanket over you at night. For yes, you have the power to change, as easily as that!

Sending you love,

Lift your mood with a walk in nature, with a few breaths of fresh air, with a stroll down your street. Listen to the sounds around you, how quiet or noisy, how busy or calm, how nature is always awake in some fashion no matter the season. A mood is just emotion stuck on replay, spinning inside you, seeking a way out. Let it release in a breath and then turn in a new direction. Pay attention to why it’s there, and note what it means, but let it go. Make room for something new as you breathe and notice how beautiful the sky is, how happy the birds. A short walk can make all the difference.

Sending you love,

When things are difficult and clarity does not easily come, turn to the heart, to the truth it speaks, to its honest voice, so different from the chatter of the busy mind. The mind is a great conjurer while the heart is pure, and though the mind may have good intentions nothing compares to a truthful heart. What is your heart telling you today? Listen and it will whisper to you what it knows to be true, in its own way. And in your own way, listen and accept.

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.
