Even the best laid plans, with everything in place and set, may not run according to schedule. Such is life, easily planned but much harder to control. Learn to be flexible, to go with the flow, while at the same time be prepared and fully intent for a smooth process. To be open to what comes along, while at the same time to plan for the best, is to be in good balance with what is and with what is desired. To want is natural, but not all that is wanted is necessary. Sometimes something more important is needed. So, with an open and steady heart, prepare to go with the flow!

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Change is inevitable. All things evolve over time. All things undergo the natural process of a lifetime, both in nature and in human life, changing incrementally every day. Acceptance of change can take a lifetime, but one day it is no longer unseen to even the most avoidant eye. Change is life, life is change. And yet there is something that remains the same, the spirit of everything, which persists throughout all the changes that matter undergoes. And that is what evolves into new life. Pay attention to your spirit as it seeks to guide you each day through the inevitable changes of life. It knows what to do, how to be, and where to go.

Sending you love,

It’s one thing to be wise but another thing to be humble enough to put one’s own wisdom to the test by acting upon what you know to be true. Just because someone is touted as being wise does not mean they are impeccable. To be impeccable is to be able to turn wisdom into action and to go through the trials to reach the truth of that wisdom, and then, ultimately, to arrive at even greater wisdom, which in its turn will need to be proven as well.

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.
