There is no greater challenge than to change the self, to do work on the self, to open the self to knowledge that is neither seen nor heard. For to know the self in the deepest way and to seek to evolve is the true work of a human life. Without judgment, resentment, or blame, seek to evolve the self, not in a selfish way but in a selfless way, so that you may become a truly compassionate and loving person.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Slow down. Take things slowly, as they come, carefully pondering what to do rather than leaping ahead without knowing where you are going. Sometimes it’s okay to leap, to enter into the unknown, but even that should be done with some knowledge of how to navigate. When unexpected choices must be made there is no need to be rushed or pressured. Take your time and make the choice that is right for you.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

In times of great personal need turn inward and ask your spirit for help. No personal problem ever occurs without the involvement of your spirit, for everything that happens to you also happens to your spirit. You are one and the same, and where you may not have a solution to a problem your spirit will.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Discipline of the body is all well and good but don’t forget about the spirit, the part of you that resides in your body and makes life possible. Learn how it works within you, what it needs, and what matters to it. Just as your body needs food, exercise, play and rest, so does your spirit. Its food is imagination, its exercise is exploration, its play is synchronicity and its rest is meditation. Pay attention to it as much as you pay attention to your physical body so you can get to know it, incorporate it into your life, and enjoy a new experience of being human.

Sending you love,

Brighten your day by bringing something from nature into your life, a sprig of greenery, a special stone, a shell, or even a photograph of a beautiful scene, for nature, in its very qualities of constancy and chaos, is very inspiring. Contemplate upon its changing qualities and yet its wholeness as well, its strengths and its frailties, its beauty and its horrors. So is nature like human life, full of paradoxes, and yet in its wholeness it is stunningly beautiful. Learn from nature to appreciate the self, all that you are, and stunningly beautiful as well.

Sending you love,
