Take a moment to stop and look at the sky, at its infinite presence, day or night. Take in its vastness, and with a deep breath feel your own connection to it. The stars above once meant so much more than just twinkling lights, and the darkness held stories and drama, and the activities of the sun and moon held deep meaning. Take all of that in as you look at the sky, and remember that you are a part of it all, that your story is connected to all those stories of old, and remember that the magic is still there to be tapped into, if you dare.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Change that develops over time and has a chance to settle into body, mind, and spirit with unshakable certainty is good change indeed. Change that happens spontaneously may lead to needing a second chance to more firmly implant. Either way, when change comes knocking, embrace it with gratitude and give thanks for the opportunity it affords to begin anew.

Sending you love,

Give yourself some credit for all the effort it takes to change the self, for all the time you have dedicated to pursuing a dream, for all the times you have pushed yourself, prodded yourself and kept yourself focused on new life. A little praise goes a long way. A life of gratitude, for even the smallest of things, is a life well spent, and a life of giving thanks for the small steps taken breeds rewards. Gratitude and thanks each day are no small part of an evolving life. With a heart full of gratitude, and thanks easily rolling off your tongue, begin a new day of progress, prosperity and rewards. Life awaits!

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Cool nights and warm days signal the change of season and the changes just beginning to form, within and without, for even without thinking changes have begun. Grab a sweater and a pair of socks where before none was needed. Notice how subtle shifts take place in the world around you; the leaves begin to change, nuts drop from the trees, fruits ripen and the scent of autumn is in the air. Subtle change happens within as well. The body’s response to cooler weather, though subtle, indicates something more to come. Acceptance of seasonal changes may come easier than acceptance of physical and emotional changes, but a mind at peace will not be thrown but instead accept it all with satisfaction in knowing that a mind at peace is a lucky mind no matter the season.

Sending you love,

A change of season gives us an opportunity to look at our lives and see how things are changing too, whether we are consciously aware, knowing and seeing every step, or unconscious so that we miss the opportunity to be grounded and utilize our ability to choose. Sometimes life just takes over, like the abrupt change of a season, and before we know it things have happened without our awareness. It’s never too late to play catch up, to wake up and become an active player in all the changes, to choose a new direction and find a fulfilling path. Life always offers that opportunity!
