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.

Sending you love,

Find your place in the world by first finding your place within yourself; within your body that walks the Earth, within your mind that inhabits your body, and within your spirit that encompasses all that is you. In body, mind and spirit find your grounding so that each day you anchor a bit more in the you that is fully awake, present and ready for adventure. Like a plant growing in the woods, allow yourself to grow too, nurtured by the experience of what life brings. Each day ask for the help and guidance of nature and the offerings of the universe to ground you and teach you. In this manner find your place in the world you inhabit, in the body that you are and in the spirit that encompasses you.

Sending you love,

Charge yourself with being responsible for yourself, for how you live your life and how you act in the world. To be in charge of your own life is to take full responsibility for it, to make choices that benefit the whole, and to find the way to live each day from a place that is heart centered and right. Your own choices do matter. So get right within yourself and you will get everything else right as well. As within, so without.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Don’t be afraid to live life to the fullest. Why else are you there, in your life now upon the Earth except to have and engage in a full experience. Experience is the bringer of fulfillment, purpose and meaning. Without it life would be a dull plod. Wake up each day and be open to the beauty and the chaos that surround you, to the known and the unknown, to the mystery that awaits. In living life to the fullest you will find not only what you are looking for but what you did not even know you were looking for as well.

Sending you love,
