Enacting change can seem to take eons, yet all of a sudden it is upon you and you aren’t sure how it happened. You almost forgot your longing for it and yet before you know it you are swept up in it. “Is this what I asked for?” you wonder. Better to focus on navigating what has arrived than going down the rabbit hole of regret. Learn to navigate the changes in your own life by staying present in each moment, by being honest with yourself and by accepting your new reality without resentment or sadness. Life changes and yet it goes on in new fashion. Make it as meaningful as ever and you will not be disappointed.

Sending you love,

Let bygones be bygones as you move on and leave behind that which no longer serves you, as you determine what you need and what you no longer need. Not everything in your past is worth carrying forward. Many habits and behaviors lose their importance and no longer have a place in your life when you move into ever-evolving phases of change and growth. No one else can tell you what you should take with you and what you should leave behind. Only you know for sure. Focus on where you are headed now and how important it is to proceed with clarity, awareness and balance. With those parameters in mind, surely you will find your way.

Sending you love,

Beyond this day lies a future as of yet unknown. The past lies behind you, known but often forgotten. And the present day lies somewhere in between the known and the unknown. But in true reality all is fully known. All that is done and all that is not yet done, all that is lived and all that is not yet lived is fully known, planned and need only be executed. The process of life is however full of choices, and even predetermined events can change. Every day is full of possibilities and thus available to be lived however you determine. By your attitude and choices you can change everything.

Things are changing all the time but that doesn’t always result in change. Just because change is going on around you doesn’t mean it will effect you. The only way to enact change in your own life is to change yourself. When you change, suddenly everything is different. When you make an effort to be more loving, suddenly the world is more loving too. When you change something in your own life it feels as if the whole world is different. It’s not everyone else around you and everything else in your life that needs to change, it’s you.

Sending you love,

In order for something new to begin, something old must end. Times of transition and change call constantly for endings. One day ends and another begins. The sun sets and the moon rises. The ocean ebbs and flows. There is a constant coming and going, in nature as in the lives of all living beings. Just as the urge for ending arises so does the urge to begin anew arise simultaneously. Practice endings and beginnings with awareness, noting your reactions. Are they positive? Are you looking forward to change? Or is it difficult for you? With awareness of the necessity for change, begin to see endings as the first step in a new beginning and to appreciate the cycles of life as they naturally occur for the greater good of yourself, and the greater good of all. Something new is always just about to begin.
