Life asks you to take outer risks, to be daring, to allow yourself to have experiences that will help you navigate into and through life, that will mature you as you journey into the world around you. Life also asks you to take inner risks, to be daring in your spiritual practices, to question how you think about and perceive the world within. Are you a spiritual adventurer? Do you like to ponder the meaning of life and your purpose in it? Are you open to finding out? Are you open to exploring some new ideas? Are you ready for change? You may think that the world outside of you is the most challenging aspect of human life, but we are here to tell you that it is the inner world that will challenge you the most, the inner world that is full of mystery and confusion, that presents itself in so many ways, through the body, mind, emotions, and the spirit. Look inward today and try to connect to a new part of yourself that you have never visited before. You might be surprised at what you find.

Sending you love,

Undo your old thinking that someone else is at fault. Undo your old thinking that you need to vent and blame someone for what is wrong in the world. It’s so easy to find a scapegoat, but that isn’t really fair, is it? A scapegoat offers nothing, except perhaps a delay in facing the truth. The truth can be scary, but it is far better to seek the truth than to seek to cover it or to avoid it. Everyone who is alive now on the earth plane has a karmic reason for being there. What is your reason? Why are you in the life you are in? What is the issue you must resolve in this lifetime? Everyone is in the same boat, even those you find most disturbing and most destructive. It all comes down to making new choices that lead you out of the darkness and into the light, into a transformed state, freed of the karmic load that you came into life to solve. Place more focus on your personal issues so that you may find your way into a new pattern of living that allows for you to see the greater picture and opens your heart in ever greater ways.

Sending you love,

No one has special status. All beings now living upon the earth plane are afforded the same possibilities from the start. Circumstances, choices, and life’s karmic needs, however, step into play as one ages and grows, altering one’s journey, and things may happen that are unexpected. Set your own course to one of self-knowledge and transformation so that you are fully available as a kind and loving being, best suited to working toward the greater good for all. As you work on yourself, show, by your example, how others can do the same. No need to preach, just be a good example by living your life with the intention of gaining in self-knowledge so that your life this time is fully loving and lovingly meaningful.

Sending you love,

It’s not that hard to set a goal and walk toward it. Make it something simple that you want to accomplish and then do it. Make another, as equally simple, and do it. Look back each day and see how much you have accomplished. By breaking everything down into small bites—easily tackled because they do not overwhelm—you begin to piece together a new life, based on what and whom you truly desire to have in your life. If you try to gather up the entire big dream all at once, you may find that it’s too much. So, with patience, bit by bit imagine your dream and bit by bit make it a reality. And don’t forget to keep your positive affirmations alive and well!

Sending you love,

All journeys have value and all journeyers have equal opportunity to advance in their lives, no matter their starting point. Everyone is born into a life of potential. Some people seem to have it all, very early in life, and they breeze through without a care in the world, while others have many challenges to overcome. Everyone is born into the circumstances that they need and that will help them to advance. Some people will not travel far in their life while others will make great leaps and bounds that carry them far from their beginnings. Without judgment, notice what your own life has challenged you with and how far you have come. Without judgment of others, notice how they are doing what they need to be doing to advance, based on what they have to undertake, just as you do. All beings are beings of light and love and goodness, even those who may not show it; just give them a chance. And don’t forget to give yourself every chance to take up the opportunities that you were born with too. Life! Its purpose is all about being where you are and taking up the challenges that life itself offers you, each and every day, as your stepping stones to greatness.
