They say that it’s good to take it one day at a time, to not plan for what might or might not happen. But that phrase also means to not be weighed down by what has already happened. It means to live in the moment of now, without attachment to what came before or to what might possibly come. Nothing is certain, so even the unfolding of this day is uncertain. Can you be okay with that and go forward one step at a time, trusting that you are well prepared for whatever may come next? Can you just be in the moment of the day as it is? One day at a time indeed!

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Unearthing old feelings brings up more than just those old feelings. Everything attached to them is unearthed as well. Healing takes time and investigating what has been unearthed thoroughly and completely brings one closer to healing old wounds, old thoughts, whether true or not, and old feelings that may or may not show themselves repeatedly throughout life to be more cantankerous than supposed. To heal from the old is to heal deeply, and to heal deeply is the good work of the soul, for it is the soul’s journey that is just as important as the one physical life you are currently in. Healing is a multidimensional process best engaged in one step at a time, one day at a time, one issue at a time.

Sending you love,

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.

Find peace in the small everyday things that make up life. Find beauty in the tiniest beam of sunlight, in the smell of a rose, in the clouds in the sky, in the taste of something special. Let the little things guide you to appreciate how life’s little miracles offer enough on any given day. Open your eyes, your senses, your mind to the little offerings that you may be missing and let your heart rest in peace, if only for a moment at a time.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Life is a constant struggle to stay in balance, to align body, mind and spirit, and yet it does not have to be perceived as a struggle. How you view life is just as important as how difficult it really is. Perception is everything. With a positive attitude that sees life as an adventure, with natural ups and downs, that is leading you ever onward to wisdom and understanding, is a far better attitude than one that offers no insight or possibility of change. With an open heart, an open mind, and an open attitude, embrace life as the grand adventure that it really is. Make every day a day of adventure and learning, and embrace it with gratitude, kindness and love.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne
