Take a moment to stop and look at the sky, at its infinite presence, day or night. Take in its vastness, and with a deep breath feel your own connection to it. The stars above once meant so much more than just twinkling lights, and the darkness held stories and drama, and the activities of the sun and moon held deep meaning. Take all of that in as you look at the sky, and remember that you are a part of it all, that your story is connected to all those stories of old, and remember that the magic is still there to be tapped into, if you dare.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

What can you do today to move yourself along on your journey of change and transformation? What action can you take? What positive words can you speak to yourself? What helpful anecdote can you offer your seeking self? What metaphor works well to offer encouragement? Often, nature provides helpful clues as to how to behave, how to resist, and how to be patient. Turn once again to nature around you, in whatever form is offered. Even just observing a busy fly may offer you the one clue you need to lift your spirits in any given day. Take in what you need and run with it, for each day counts as much as the next and each day is just as full of promise as the next.

Sending you love,

A change of season gives us an opportunity to look at our lives and see how things are changing too, whether we are consciously aware, knowing and seeing every step, or unconscious so that we miss the opportunity to be grounded and utilize our ability to choose. Sometimes life just takes over, like the abrupt change of a season, and before we know it things have happened without our awareness. It’s never too late to play catch up, to wake up and become an active player in all the changes, to choose a new direction and find a fulfilling path. Life always offers that opportunity!

Find your sweet spot, your place of perfect inner balance where your mind is calm, your body is calm and your heart is open. Let the calmness within you guide you to experience the world in a new way, as calm and open as you feel, as heart centered as you are. Resonance with the world around you brings you into alignment with nature and with the present moment so that all else disappears and all that matters is the now of it all, the simple solitary now. Hold onto that moment for as long as possible and remind yourself to replay it in body, mind and heart often throughout the day. Reconnect to the now of it all and re-experience peace, calmness and nature as it truly is, in each quiet moment, as it comes.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Undercurrents of balance and harmony ride beneath the waves of disharmony. Notice how angry an ocean can appear, how choppy the waves, how fierce the surf as it slams upon the shoreline. And yet, at another depth all is calm and life goes on; the fish swim as if no such storm rails above. Sink into the depths of inner harmony and balance to regain equilibrium during times of stress. Swim among the calm waters of your inner self, knowing full well that you have what you need within you to weather through any storm. And remember, the weather always changes.
