Distinguish between desire and want, between what has passion behind it and what has lack behind it. Desire is passion on fire. Want indicates that something is lacking. Take care of wants directly by seeking to fill the lack with something positive. If hungry, eat food. If anxious, relieve stress. If lonely, seek fulfilling interaction. Give passion an outlet that is positive, for that is the only way it will be quelled. Envision what you desire and work passionately to achieve it. Pour all of your attention into what your passion is so that you become the best you can be. Make your desire work for you so that life is fulfilling and lack becomes but a word that no longer interferes in your life.

Sending you love,

In the play of light and dark, in the shadows of the self, find the inner you that calls out for acknowledgement and healing. You are all complicated beings with many sides, many issues and many agendas. Get to know all these sides, issues and agendas so that as they arise and ask for time and attention you are able to give them what they need. Acknowledge them, question them, listen to them, get to fully know them, accept and integrate them. In this manner, reconcile with them so that they do not rule you but still have their place, so that they do not blindside you over and over again but become so known that you see them coming from miles away. In knowing yourself fully and reconciling fully, life will begin to take on a calm, more focused agenda, with truth in the fore and illusion put to rest.

Sending you love,

Hold yourself accountable for decisions and choices rather than blame others. In so doing you take full responsibility for yourself and your life. You learn where you are weak and where you are strong. You test your values and commitments and you find out more about yourself so that you can grow and change. Change that happens because you accept responsibility for yourself is the best there is. It is lasting and deep and usually results in something new and unexpected. Accepting your own faults and turning them into strengths so that you can move forward in life is part of being a responsible human being. Everyone can improve.

Sending you love,

Underneath the outer shell of a person lies a vast universe of self, the parts of a person you cannot see or hear, the inner world that is as vast as the night sky, as deep as the ocean, as mysterious as the wind. The inner self holds the secrets to life, the past, present and future, the known and the unknown. Get to know it within yourself more fully as you encounter it each day. Ask it to guide you, to show you what’s important, to help you make decisions. It will not fail you, for it is the you that already knows the outcome of your life and wishes you only the best.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Undercurrents of balance and harmony ride beneath the waves of disharmony. Notice how angry an ocean can appear, how choppy the waves, how fierce the surf as it slams upon the shoreline. And yet, at another depth all is calm and life goes on; the fish swim as if no such storm rails above. Sink into the depths of inner harmony and balance to regain equilibrium during times of stress. Swim among the calm waters of your inner self, knowing full well that you have what you need within you to weather through any storm. And remember, the weather always changes.

Sending you love,
