After going through a period of change, whether rough or mild, the result is the same. Sit and take a breath. Sit and settle into restful calmness. Think upon what has been accomplished and with gratitude give thanks for safe passage through the period of change that was so necessary. All change is necessary but it may not be clear that this is so until much later. Sit awhile and give thanks for what you have gone through and how it has changed you. No, you are not the person you were before, and that is good!

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Focus on the good in your life, the abundance of things that go right each day, that unfold perfectly, that you don’t even have to think about. Get into a positive frame of mind as you realize just how perfectly things function and how wonderful it is to contemplate all that is well. When negativity arises, thoughts of lack, old ideas, immediately replace them with thanks and gratitude for all the abundances that are so apparent yet so forgotten. Immediately put the self into a frame of mind that beholds the world with wonder and with a child’s innocence knows that there is more abundance to come.

Sending you love,

With gratitude begin the day, sending a signal to the Self that all is well and that balance reigns within. There is no better attitude than one of gratitude. No matter the state of things, an attitude of gratitude sets anew the intention that life holds treasures to be enjoyed every day, to be attained and to be grateful for, whether large or small. Sometimes a simple kind gesture to a stranger is all you need to feel gratitude. Sometimes a grand event in life brings it rushing forth. There is nothing like starting and ending your day with gratitude in your heart, with being grateful for a day filled with little adventures, with big thanks for life itself.

Sending you love,

Change that develops over time and has a chance to settle into body, mind, and spirit with unshakable certainty is good change indeed. Change that happens spontaneously may lead to needing a second chance to more firmly implant. Either way, when change comes knocking, embrace it with gratitude and give thanks for the opportunity it affords to begin anew.

Sending you love,

Keep the word gratitude uppermost in your mind. At dawn’s awakening call it forth and recall all that you have gratitude for. At noon’s high sun ask again to remember where gratitude has a place in your life. At day’s end pull up once again the pictures of gratitude in your mind’s eye. And finally, as you rest your head upon your pillow express once again the gratitude for a beautiful day lived and another to come. With gratitude, begin each day with a skip in your step and eagerness in your heart, for how can you not have gratitude for the simplest and most wonderfully satisfying of things, for life itself!

Sending you love,
