Empty your mind of motives of power and let go of your attachments to the sadnesses of your life thus far lived. Open instead to the idea that you have not really lived at all yet. Turn your mind and your eyes in a new direction now. Take on a different kind of power, the power that embodies responsibility, honesty, truth and humbleness. This kind of power does not show on the outside in material ways but appears as an inner glow. This is the internal experience of your true self. With kindness to yourself, and with a heart-centered desire to finally make the change that is so necessary now, embark on that new journey you have so wished for. If you proceed with an open and eager heart you will be offered all the assistance you need. If you stay stuck in victimhood, in blame and self-pity, you will have to work a little bit harder, until you are ready. But know that new life awaits! When you are ready, take your first real and honest step. You will feel very vulnerable at first, but, as you learn to trust that you are being helped along the way, your confidence will increase and pretty soon you will be flying along. Keep your finger on the gratitude button as you go. That helps immensely!

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

A new day brings new challenges, new beauties to enjoy, new meaning and new purpose. Look at each new day as the new opportunity it is, with bright possibilities for change, advancement, creativity and more. Let your feet be grounded today in the here and now so that you do not miss one new experience, sensation or idea that crosses your path. Greet the day as the new life it truly is.

Sending you love,

In order for something new to begin, something old must end. Times of transition and change call constantly for endings. One day ends and another begins. The sun sets and the moon rises. The ocean ebbs and flows. There is a constant coming and going, in nature as in the lives of all living beings. Just as the urge for ending arises so does the urge to begin anew arise simultaneously. Practice endings and beginnings with awareness, noting your reactions. Are they positive? Are you looking forward to change? Or is it difficult for you? With awareness of the necessity for change, begin to see endings as the first step in a new beginning and to appreciate the cycles of life as they naturally occur for the greater good of yourself, and the greater good of all. Something new is always just about to begin.

Sending you love,

Turn over a new leaf each morning. Promise the self to be fully present, to hold onto integrity, honesty and truth and to live each moment to the fullest, unafraid, unhampered by judgment and deceit. Let the self experience life to its fullest so that the fullness of the self may be expressed. In this manner a life is well lived.

Sending you love,

Soulbyte for Thursday November 19, 2020

Do a clean sweep of your inner house, removing any unwanted or undesirable occupants so that your inner house is your own once again. Start over fresh with new thoughts and ideas. Even what you bring in from outside should be new and different if you really want to change things for the better. Times of change call for drastic measures. If you are to measure up, what needs drastic change in your own life, within and without? Don’t be afraid of new starts or sweeping change. It’s what is often needed to get life moving again in a new and positive direction. Is it time to clean house?

Sending you love,
