The time eventually comes when the longed for change arrives, the moment when the truth of desire is revealed. “Is this really what I want?” you might ask. A part of you may hold back, reluctant to give up the old ways, the old place in life, the old routines. Such reluctance is normal. Let it not rule but gently put it aside and take the next step in your longing for evolution. When life is ready to take you forward open your arms and trust that you will be guided onward to something new and utterly engaging.

Sending you love,

Resentment is a heavy weight to carry, a burden best left by the wayside. If everything is part of the bigger picture of life, then resentment has no place except as a part of that picture, neatly fitting in to teach something. Take the lesson and learn its significance and then move on to the next lesson. A refusal to learn and grow allows things such as resentment to grow and fester in place of the learning and thus it is merely a blockage, and not a helpful one at that. What lesson does resentment teach? How to let go, for one. How to detach from a situation without any strings attached, and perhaps it also teaches the beginnings of love and compassion. For the ultimate goal is to embrace love and compassion for all, and to truly do that all blockages must be freed, including resentment.

You can only resist the call of spirit for so long; eventually you will have to pay attention. Resistance is futile when the body can no  longer uphold its defenses, when the mind can no longer deny, and when the emotions can no longer hold back their inevitable flood. There comes a point in every life when the calls for change, long coming, can no longer be denied. When that time comes the best resource is to turn to help from your spirit self, your High Self. Ask for guidance in how best to proceed. Keep your heart and mind open and acquiesce to the truth that something else is pushing you in a new and different direction and it’s time to embrace it.

Sending you love,

Once upon a time things were different and they will be again. Check your memories to realize how fast life goes and how quickly things can change. Life’s unfolding follows patterns, repeated through generations, decades, centuries, millennia. It is the grand unfolding of life that you are witnessing and living through, each great experience part of a greater experience that spans lifetimes. Fully live your own life even in the midst of trouble and turmoil, even in the midst of plenty and pleasure, for your own life’s experience is just as important as the generational experience and, in fact, how you choose to live, to think and to act, the responsibilities you take upon yourself to be optimistic, productive and spiritually oriented in a compassionate, kind way have great effect upon the world outside of you. You really do make an impact. One drop of water in the whole ocean is still one solid drop of water.

Sending you love,

When entering a new phase, a new season, a new moon, a new day even, notice how the inner self knows and automatically sets itself to the new phase, no matter what it is. The inner self is the natural self, affiliated with All That Is. It likens itself to the flow of energy throughout the universe, because ultimately that’s what it is. Within you, now captured in physical form, the inner self strives to help you learn the lessons of Earth School, to make good decisions that are appropriate for each new phase of life, to learn to be intuitive and connected to All That Is too. Each new day and in each new phase of life as it guides you, you in turn understand it a little bit more, how the inner self works, how it loves you, understands you and wants only the best for you.
