Remember who you once were, a small child with big dreams, an innocent figure in the big world, wondering how you would ever be able to do the things you dreamed of. Perhaps you felt invincible and untouchable and those feelings propelled you forward into life. Or perhaps you felt weak and unworthy and those feelings followed you into life. Perhaps it took you only a short time to achieve your goals or perhaps it has taken you a long time to finally feel like you belong. Either way, you all started out from the same small place of childhood innocence and thus you all had equal opportunity to grow, whether you felt that at the time or not. Everyone born into the world is filled with hope and wonder and possibility. Circumstances that challenge are the things that make you really innerly strong. If your inner life is strong and resilient, so are you. Look to your strengths rather than your weaknesses. In gathering the truths of your abilities, be in amazement every day at how well you have done and how wonderful your life really is.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Everyone has good days and bad days. Everyone has highs and lows. Everyone has ups and downs. Keep this in mind as you take stock of how things have been going for you. Are you keeping in touch with your spirit and your heart’s intent? Are you loving and kind throughout your day? Are you open and willing to observe the lives of those you love as true journeys of transformation, just as your own is? Are you ready to accept, without regret, and move on when the time is right? Are you, on this very day, willing to accept that you still have so much to learn and still so much to give? Life is meant to be experienced. Keep that in mind as you have your own experiences in life and as you guide others through theirs. Life is meant to be experienced on ALL levels.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

It’s been a week! Give yourself a pat on the back for getting through it, for staying grounded and focused, for staying heart-centered and balanced, in spite of the whirlwinds of change all around you. The Earth itself has a lot to say, a lot to teach, and a lot to offer for the future. Stay always connected to the Earth, as the Mother, the Teacher, the Wise One. She always has something new to teach. Find your personal connection to her, your special place upon her where you can allow your warrior self to take a step back and relax, where your mind grows calm and your body feels alive and healthy. Find your secret spot. And remember, if you can’t always be there in person you can be there in your mind. Envision your secret spot so thoroughly that you are there at any moment of any day when you most need to be there. Your secret spot can be a real place or a totally imagined place of peace and beauty of your own construction. Use your creativity to mold this secret spot in your mind’s eye. It is your sanctuary in the midst of whirlwinds. It is your secret healing spot for you alone to retreat to when needed. It is your own heart-centered creation. Whether it exists in reality or has been created by your heart’s desire, it is yours.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Every journeyer will have times when they will be alone. Every journeyer will have times when they must travel with others. Every journeyer will need some help at some point. Every journeyer will have to rely on the wisdom of others, on the knowledge of an expert, on the teachings of a master. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Don’t be afraid to reach out. Don’t keep yourself so isolated that you lose track of reality and forget that you are a being in human form. Don’t forget that you are also an ethereal being who is learning how to live life in the tactile world called Earth School, but that you are also a human being who is learning how to live life in the Energy School of Vibration. For success in both of those schools you will need to turn to the wise ones on occasion. Find your wise ones when you are stuck, when you are unsure, and when you are too close to the edge. Be a warrior, but be a wise warrior.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

As things in the world continue to ramp up, and as you fight through your own inner battles, remind yourself often that you are a warrior. Envision your warrior self in whatever fashion suits you. Arm that warrior self with whatever weapon is necessary so that you may force your way forward on your journey. A jungle warrior needs a machete to fight through the tangled jungle vines. A plains warrior needs a mighty steed to ride across the great expanses of open land. A city warrior needs something to navigate the crowds, perhaps a unicycle! Choose your metaphorical weapon. Make it work for you in whatever world you live in. Use it wisely to support you on your journey, just as you use your new words to support and nurture you on your journey as well.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne
