Each day offers an opportunity to change, to do something new, to more fully become the person you are meant to be, to explore what it means to be human. Notice how nature never misses an opportunity, how each day changes are taking place, sometimes subtlety, sometimes drastically. Without fear be open to the changes that come into your own life. Rather than regret them embrace them, for they are as natural as can be. Change is the hand of the divine showing you where to go next.

Sending you love,

Balance remains the most important key to good health on all levels of being, mental, physical, emotional and spiritual. Without balance the whole self is not fully present or in charge to make good decisions, or able to sustain life in an evolving manner. Taking responsibility for the self, as a full-fledged adult is perhaps the most important aspect of maintaining balance. Without balance one becomes a victim. But to override that is simply a matter of deciding that it’s your life, after all, and that you are in change of every aspect of it, within and without. When you let things slide there is no one to blame except yourself and your own decision to do so. Balance, at its best, means juggling everything that comes to you, keeping yourself aloft so that each day begins with the joyous anticipation of a job to be done well and ends with the joyous knowledge that indeed it was!

Besides your physical body, what else needs nurturing? What calls to you to be lived? What part of you has yet to be expressed? Notice your wants and desires. Perhaps you have not attended to your physical self and it needs you the most. Perhaps your spirit, your creative self, calls out to you and desires expression. Perhaps you have not been very receptive and the feminine needs some attention. Perhaps your masculine side is asking for you to take notice. Everyone is made up of multiple aspects, all vying for attention throughout life. Get to know who is in charge, who is ruling, and allow balance into your life by acknowledging all of who you are and giving all of who you are areas of expression. In this manner balance, contentment and happiness will ensue. Operate from a place of love for self and that will make it all go so much better as 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,

Maintain balance in all you do so that your body, mind and spirit are in balance as well. Make decisions based on whether something is right for you, whether it will keep you in balance, or at least not take you too far off so that it is difficult to reset. Sometimes the body says no in dramatic ways and sometimes its communications are more subtle. Get to know your body so you are aware of how it communicates to you on a daily basis. To maintain balance is to offer yourself a smooth ride through life, with enough energy to do the things that really matter to you. For when you are engaged in something that you are passionate about you might notice that you have all the energy in the world. And, thus, you learn what it really means to be in good balance.
