What one great thing are you intending to do with your life? What have you still not accomplished? Is it truly a desire, a must-do? Or is it an obsession that has no real value, no meaning? What one great thing have you thus far done that Mother Earth will thank you for, that nature will know you by? Oftentimes, the one great thing is no simpler than speaking to the plants that grow at your feet and letting them know you care. Or touching a tree and admiring its beauty. Or letting a wild animal free to roam its natural habitat unimpeded. May your one great thing be acceptable and fulfilling to you in all ways, but may it also simply be a word in the direction of another that is unexpectedly kind.

Sending you love,

Look before you leap is an oft-repeated phrase. But, in truth, sometimes you just have to leap; you just have to trust. That’s what that oft-repeated phrase fails to consider, that sometimes faith is more important and necessary than that which you perceive. Perceptions can be difficult to properly explain or discern, but faith means that a door has just opened and it asks you to step through. It asks you to have faith, to believe that all will be well.

Sending you love,

In the midst of chaos find balance within the self, in the heart center that knows what calmness is, for it is the center of love, compassion and kindness. How can it connect to those attributes if not from a place of calmness? Think of love and how its magic can cure anything that humans disrupt. Love finds its invisible way into other hearts where it does its good work. Stir it within the self to do the good work that it was made to do, throughout the self and throughout the world. Let love be the cure.

Sending you love,

Remain committed to the goals you have set for the New Year. Day by day restate them silently so that they become embedded in your psyche, so that they become a part of you. Changing yourself and your life is really just a matter of substituting one habitual behavior for another. You already know how capable you are of habitual behavior so switching to something new is not a problem. Keep your heart attuned to this new plan for change too, along with your mental prowess, for ultimately it is the prowess of the heart that will determine the final outcome of your endeavors. If your heart is in alignment with your resolve then all will be well.

Sending you love,

Find solace in knowing that you are in charge of yourself, of your life and of your destiny. You may wish to blame others for how things turn out but in another frame of mind you know that no one else has anything to do with you and your choices, that ultimately everything is up to you. To understand this is your saving grace. Begin to change your frame of mind little by little, day by day, by changing your thoughts, by how you think about yourself and the journey you are on. By gradually taking control of your own thoughts you will also take control of your life. No one else can think for you, just as no one else can choose for you what your next step will be. Pause often and question your decision: Is this really what I want? Ask your heart to give you its input and ask your spirit to pipe up with its desires more often too. Soon you will see progress and understand more fully the true reality that you alone have made the life you are in, and thus also that you alone can make your own new future.

Sending you love,
