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,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Everyone is responsible for their own life, for their own choices and decisions. As children you learned this. As adults you often forget this and you want to just be a child again. But no, childhood is over and adulthood is asking you to show up every day for the next big feature presentation that is in your life’s unfolding. And just as you are expected to take care of yourself, so must you let others do the same. If you take responsibility for others, past their true needs, you might think you are being responsible but you are actually interfering in their lives. Let adults learn to be the grownups that they are meant to be. The only way they can do that is by living their own lives, separate from you. Some people will fail miserably at life, but that is their fate to deal with, in this life and the next. Others will take off like rockets and become outstanding members of society. The vast majority will live adequate lives of boredom and mundanity. But the lucky few will find a connection to their own spirit early in life and they will continually grow and change throughout their lives, never looking back except to give thanks, and never afraid of what is to come, for they learned early on that to live a full life is to always live in awe.

All our love,

Don’t forget that the world outside of you is there to help you on your journey. The people you meet, the encounters you have, the obstacles you face, all of those things are put in your path to help you. If you seem to have a lot of obstacles in your way, perhaps you are going in the wrong direction. Perhaps you are not meant to have what you want in that direction, and you might remove those obstacles by simply heading in a totally new direction. Perhaps you have a lot of unhappy or angry people in your life. Maybe they are letting you know that they aren’t good for you and that it’s actually time to let them go, rather than trying to change them. Maybe you just can’t get over some sadness in your own life, but the Universe might be trying to let you know that you can’t ever really move forward with something that heavy weighing you down. Find the bigger picture in all of your issues and figure out what is the best next step, based on what you truly want in life. Are you really ready to move on, to change and transform?

All our love,

When the Universe gives you something to work on remember to express gratitude. If you are given something tough to work on, give the Universe even more gratitude, knowing that you are being asked to move along at a faster pace, to get to the next big thing that is waiting for you. If you are not given much of a boot, then be grateful for that. Perhaps the Universe in such a case is saying that you are doing well with the issues you currently have at hand. Everyone is in a different phase of life. Keep that in mind. Your issues are your life challenges for the moment. Pay attention to what they might be telling you. It might not be what you think, so think outside the box, ask for clarification, and ask for guidance in determining what to do and where to go next. The answers always come, in some form, when you ask.

All our love,
