All days should be considered Earth Day, for Mother Earth deserves not only respect at all times but appreciation and careful consideration of all that she is. All that Mother Earth provides is placed there for all living beings, yet human beings have taken, pillaged, and destroyed without concern for all living organisms. What has happened without is happening within and this is not good for Mother Earth or for the human being either. A lack of respect, a disregard of the truth of interconnectedness and interdependence and the delicate balance necessary for all of life to flourish has created a dire circumstance.

For change to happen, all must be in alignment and kept in balance. All must once again return to a greater alignment with all that is, with the nature of life and the life of nature. When alignment within is achieved, alignment with all that is without will naturally fall into alignment as well. As within so without.

Be careful. Not all angels are good, not all spirits are benevolent and helpful, not all entities are beneficial. Don’t be fooled. Know your own energy so that you may know compatible and wise energy, so that you may be guided and protected, not misguided and the life sucked out of you. Watch where you put your attention and your energy.

It’s important to amass good energy, to learn about energy, to connect with energy, but not all energy is good. Watch what you attach to. Take precautions to protect yourself and choose carefully and wisely what you become involved with, both in this world and in the spirit world. Not all energy is good. This is not offered to generate fear but simply as a reminder to be alert and to realize that not all that offers its dazzling wares is worthy of attachment.

Frustration is part of life and must be acknowledged and dealt with patiently. To be frustrated, feel restrained and inhibited, is a sign that it is time to pull back and inward, to investigate feelings that arise and let them become guidance. Guidance, you see, comes in many forms. Frustration teaches patience and patience is one of the most important traits to learn and cultivate if life is to run smoothly. Hone patience. You will not regret it.

Go about your days with cheerfulness and life’s woes will not appear as large and looming, nor will they overpower you, for your smile will turn them to nothing more than objects to be studied and utilized so that you may cheerfully proceed on your journey. Smile and keep life in perspective. A little cheerfulness goes a long way!
