It’s not that hard to be human if you keep in touch with your greater self who knows everything about you, if you stay connected to the truth of your wholeness. If you can keep a good perspective on life, and don’t get too overly attached to what is going wrong in your life, you will soon discover that life has a tendency to allow you to easily work through what bothers you, if you give it a chance. Often you want to fix things immediately, but sometimes it’s actually better to let them sit within you, especially as you drift off to sleep and ask for guidance. Watch how your dreams support you in figuring things out when you give them a chance, when you pay attention, and when you then carry out the suggestions from your dreaming self. You might discover that your dreaming self is a lot smarter than you are!

Sending you love,

Don’t forget that you are more than just a physical being; you are also a spiritual being. By that, we mean that you have more than one side to yourself. You are complete, whole, both as a human being and as a spiritual being because you carry always the seeds of truth within you—the why, the what for, and the where of life are all within you. These basic questions often leave you wondering, but they are actually the gist of who you truly are. You are a multifaceted being, just as everyone else is. You are there to grow and learn the lessons that you are presented with every day of your life. You don’t need to ask for the lessons, they are with you all the time. They are in the small things of life and the big things of life. And where are you going? You are going toward fulfillment, every day, in every way. Keep all that in mind as you begin a new day, as you face your lessons as they arise, and as you seek always to stay loving and kind, toward self and other. Every day.

Sending you love,

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,

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
