Let not your sorrows stop you in your tracks, binding you to an old self, leaving you floundering. Parse out from memories the hidden jewels of truth and carry them forward into your future, knowing that life has not stagnated in the past, but that you have learned and matured with it. Every memory holds its glitter, its bead of learning. Without regret, but only with thanks, let memories teach you that you are but a student of life, learning every day what it means to experience it and learn from it in all the ways it teaches. With gratefulness for a beautiful passage thus far, move forward one day and one step at a time.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Start anew each day with new intentions, new thoughts about yourself and new words of encouragement. Begin each day with a renewed sense of life as a wonderful journey never before taken, each step a new step into the unknown. Even though things may not appear different from one day to the next, you have the power to change how you think, how you act, and where you put your energy, your creativity, and your compassionate heart.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

When things get difficult, either because of repeated patterning or out of the blue, remind yourself that everything is part of your journey of learning and growing.

Ask yourself: “What am I learning today?”

Find the answer in the unfolding of the day, in the options that arise, the choices that present, and what comes up as the day progresses. You might begin to notice that you have more decisions to make than you thought possible, that every moment offers a choice in how you decide to attend to it. Breathe, relax, calm down and make a choice that will make the next moment calm and relaxing too. It can be as easy as that.

Sending you love,

Brighten your day by bringing something from nature into your life, a sprig of greenery, a special stone, a shell, or even a photograph of a beautiful scene, for nature, in its very qualities of constancy and chaos, is very inspiring. Contemplate upon its changing qualities and yet its wholeness as well, its strengths and its frailties, its beauty and its horrors. So is nature like human life, full of paradoxes, and yet in its wholeness it is stunningly beautiful. Learn from nature to appreciate the self, all that you are, and stunningly beautiful as well.

Some things are inevitable, they just have to be done or they just come into your life. Face them with a smile rather than a frown. Address them as a friend rather than an enemy. Embrace them as part of your journey and accept their necessity rather than regret or resent them. When the unpleasant arrives give it your all, and with a loving heart do the best you can.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne
