Just as you live through the seasons of nature so must you live through the seasons of life. Each season has its high points and its low points but overall, each season brings to you all that you need in order to progress to the next season and the lessons it will bring. Do not shy away from any of the seasons of life, for each one brings you its unique qualities and allows you to experience them from a place of heart, of knowing that you have acquired the means by which to enjoy life and everything that comes with it with a measure of grace and gratitude that only a long life and many seasons afford you. In younger days you did not have the sage wisdom and beauty that you carry so elegantly now. A child has its own grace and beauty but a wise person carries so much more and has so much more to offer. Embrace the life you are in with the grace and gratitude that only you can embody.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Keep in mind the long history of the world; its wars, its times of peace, its natural disasters and its natural wonders. Keep in mind that over time new ideas have developed and manifested new things, that an idea held in the heart is a future possibility. Keep your dreams alive even if you have to keep them a secret, for it is then that they will have the opportunity to develop to fullness and when they emerge, they will be fully grown and fully manifest as you had wished.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

When it may feel as if things are only getting worse, remember the poets who have written of the darkness before dawn, of the light in the dark, of the crack in the wall, of the strong seed that finds its way to the light and to new life in a different form. Always there is hope that new life will surely come. Keep focused on that, even as times feel very dark, and the winter is soon to come, and hope seems to be vulnerable to decay. Let your mind not wander from the truth that even so there is new life to come. Always.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

The last thing you need to do is to go down an old pathway. You’ve been down that path so many times and you know where it leads. You have also been down so many new paths and you also know where they lead. Perhaps today indicates that all the usual pathways are old now, that something entirely new is required if you are to stay on your path of heart. Ask for guidance on where to go next, what is most meaningful, and what will enhance your journey through life with the least amount of harm and the most amount of progress. Look forward to something new today and expect it to appear. Have faith that the Universe is providing just what you most need right now.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Try not to over-diagnose, over-treat, or over-protect. It is often that in failure the right way is revealed, that in sorrow humbleness is experienced, and that in the seeking to always do what is right a new approach may be revealed that is better suited to the times you live in. Old practices abound but they are not always the best method of application for healing, for growth, or for manifesting what you most desire. Oftentimes, from within the self the best method for achieving goals may come forth, out of your own past, your own hard-fought and hard-won battles, out of your own experiences of wonder and gratitude. Pay more attention to what resonates with where you are now so that everything you decide to do is in step with the person you have become rather than with the person you once were. For you are a changed being and that means changing a lot of other things in your life to keep everything humming along on your new path of heart.

All our love,
