Do you notice how when you are focused on your own inner journey, on the importance of your own life, not in a selfish way but in an exploratory way, that life meets you there and the rest of the world seems less threatening, less oppositional, less obstructive. When you shift into the world of awe and receptivity, do you see how things change? Look continually for guidance in all areas of life, whether they seem to hold you back or whether they show you a clear path ahead. All obstacles are really just opportunities waiting for you to investigate them and decide for yourself if they are right.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Life moves quickly and before you know it you have missed out on something that you once thought was important. But now, if you step back and look at all that you have experienced in life, and at all that you have discovered about yourself, you may realize that perhaps those dreams were not to be a part of this lifetime. Perhaps there was something else you set out to do that did not come to consciousness. Perhaps old dreams are no longer viable, just as old habits are no longer necessary. Perhaps the life you have led all these years was the exact life you needed. Ponder today the broader aspects of the life you have led and where it has landed you. Without regret, ponder the good and the bad, the exciting and the miraculous, and be in awe no matter what dream you once had. For you are a being who has truly done what you needed to do. And that is something to really be in awe about!

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

It’s never too late to change, never too much to shift into a new mode of operation as concerns you and your priorities. It’s never too late to start a new creative project, a new lifestyle, a new relationship, a new self. Find what is most lacking in your life and give it some nurturance. Find what is most imposing in your life and either give it the boot, because it is of no interest, or pay more attention to it, for it might just be what you need. Find what makes you sad and give it some thorough love and care, and then be done with it; it’s time to move on. It’s far better to attend to what bothers you right away rather than pushing it away unexamined. But once examined, and once it no longer has a hold on you, the next best thing is to shift away from it. Turn your heel on it and walk in a new, brighter direction.

All our love,

Listen to your heart today as you take some time to sit quietly and contemplate your life thus far. Are you happy? Are you healthy? Are you staying spiritually connected? Are you living your passion? Are you of service to others in some meaningful way? Are you staying positive and affirming in your conversations with others? Are you seeking still more of life? These are all good questions to pose to the self. The answers are within you and only you will know if you are being honest in your answers. To begin to shift away from negativity, ill health and lack of fulfillment in your life, turn your thoughts in more positive directions. Redirect negative thoughts and ideas toward more positive ones. Begin with one thing, one thought, and then another and another. Retrain your mind to be positive. This one activity, over time, will greatly change you and your life.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

No Blame. It’s nobody’s fault. You might ask: How did we get here? But maybe that’s not the right question. Maybe the right question is: Where are we going? The openness of that question takes blame away, takes fear away, takes feelings of sadness and sorrow away. For wondering where we are going opens a window to wonder, to anticipation, to adventure. Look forward to something new now. Something unexpected. Something unknown. Look forward to the calm after the storm, to the peace you know exists at the root of everything and everyone. Look forward to the necessary change, that even you who feel so sad know is inevitable, and so necessary. When a dam fills too high, it overflows; when a river rises beyond its banks, it floods over the riverbanks; when a pot of water reaches boiling point, it boils over. So is it with everything. When the maximum of tension has been reached there must be an opening to relieve the pressure. That is where the world is now.

All our love,
