A Soulbyte is a spark of the infinitesimal, a portion of the endless wisdom and the magic from which we all come, to which we all innately have access, and to which we will all one day return.

Our Daily Soulbytes are messages channeled from the energy of each day, from the dreams of the night, and from what the universe declares to be most important in the moment. They are usually posted before 7 AM every weekday.

We hope these Soulbytes offer helpful guidance, but we also encourage all of our readers to feel the energy of each day themselves and to make responsible choices and decisions.

A fool once tried to get a donkey to move, but nothing they did or said would move the donkey. That is often what happens in life. Trying to make something happen is a fool’s errand. You can’t change anyone else. You can only change yourself. In so doing, you show that change is possible, and when others see this they too are empowered to change, if they are ready.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Can you go a day without desire? Can you go one day without needing anything other than what you have? Can you sit still and just be? Every time you think to jump up and get something, to order something, to buy something, to look something up, to call someone, to text someone, sit still instead and just be. Let the urges pass. Let the needs and desires dissipate. Let the world around you pass by without your needing anything except its stillness, its air to breathe, its time to just be.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Arrange your thoughts today as if you were making a shopping list. Keep the most important ones at the top of your list and the less important ones at the bottom of your list. Attend to the important ones, one by one. Ask for help as you tackle what is most troubling to you, as you work through your list and give your attention to what is bothering you or to what needs attention. Then forget about your list and just be present with the day as it unfolds. You might even notice that what you were so concerned about is no longer of much concern at all. Perhaps everything on your list is of no real importance. Use this experience to free your mind of what it thinks it has to do. Let each day show you what is most important rather than relying on your mind and your intentions, your firm knowing of what you think must happen and must be done. Spend more time paying attention to what you are being shown and you will soon see the needlessness of too many thoughts and too many lists. Just be.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

After going through a period of change, whether rough or mild, the result is the same. Sit and take a breath. Sit and settle into restful calmness. Think upon what has been accomplished and with gratitude give thanks for safe passage through the period of change that was so necessary. All change is necessary but it may not be clear that this is so until much later. Sit awhile and give thanks for what you have gone through and how it has changed you. No, you are not the person you were before, and that is good!

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Under the best of circumstances life would unfold without worry, you might say, but that is not the best of circumstances at all. That would be a life of no consequence, no challenge and thus no growth. Challenges offer growth spurts. When difficulties arise, it is far better to face them than to avoid them, for they are like doors opening to something new, stairways to something better, pathways to new life. Challenges and difficulties in life are the opportunities to grow, to change, and to embrace something new and exciting. All change comes out of such opportunities, at first seen as annoying interruptions but soon seen as just the right thing at the right time.
