Protect yourself even as you give of yourself. Watch your energy so that you do not overextend, while at the same time keep your heart open so that your caring self has plenty of expression. The world needs help in so many ways and yet divisions create more differences than there really are. Nature, in her eternal way, shows what happens when chaos ensues and yet her chaos is not caused by divisions or inflations but by nature’s evolutionary intent, which carries only change while human intent often carries malice. Continue the work of a good and caring heart, something that nature, even with all her beauty, does not have, and see what happens in the long run.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

External woes are often the result of bad choices but they can equally be just the way things should go. Don’t get too caught up in trying to fix everything that you perceive as wrong but let things run their course. Often the cure can only be gotten by going through a process that may not appear as healing but actually is the solution. It’s nature’s way. Let things unfold as they will and full healing will result. This advice is to be taken at both a personal level and an impersonal one, in your own world and the world at large. Healing is taking place whether you detect it or not.

Sending you love,

Without air there would be no life. Without water there would be no life. Nature provides these most important life-giving necessities and yet are they fully appreciated? Or are they taken for granted? Tune into nature and experience all that she gives without needing anything in return, except respect. Provide her that and things would not be so dire. Spend a little time respectfully in her company and with gratitude and respect breathe her air and drink her water. She will appreciate it.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

When nature changes abruptly there is turmoil; hurricanes, tornadoes, tidal waves and blizzards all bring chaos with them. Heat waves and cold snaps and other extremes cause disruptions and often death ensues. When picking up the pieces afterwards there are questions as to why. Why indeed? Nature has its ways of bringing about change, and some may seem harsh, but when change is really needed it may not be noted until much later. Look inward each day and ask: Where do I need change? What can I change today? Make change a daily habit and notice how much nicer incremental change is compared to disaster.

Sending you love,

Find happiness in small things, in the glint of sunlight shining through the leaves, in the sound of spring birds calling to each other, in the scurry to build nests and lay eggs, in the soft breezes that suggest fine summer days ahead. Let the calm and predictable journey of spring arriving assure you that all is unfolding according to plan, as it always does. Yes, each year there are changes to note, things unfolding earlier than normal, perhaps too many rainstorms or too few, perhaps too hot weather too soon, but in its own way nature calmly carries on. Do the same, carry on, but do so with a calm and knowing heart, for there is till so much more to come.

Sending you love,
