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 channeled messages posted early in the morning. They are meant as support and helpful guidance for navigating life’s many twists and turns. We encourage all of our readers to feel the energy of each day themselves and to make responsible choices and decisions.

Soulbyte for Friday December 26, 2025

As sad as the world outside of you is proving to be, keep up your inner happiness, your inner change, your inner striving for good and loving expression of all that you have learned about human spirit potential. Look upon all beings as spirits of perfection, just as you are learning to look upon yourself. What makes people do the crazy things they do, you might ask. First, look to yourself. Perhaps you already know what makes you do the crazy things you do, or perhaps you have not been ready to know. Something inside you is always ready to teach you. When you are ready, open the door that will lead you into a greater understanding of all of life, and within that understanding crazy will be explained and possibility will be revealed. That then becomes your next big step to take, into new possibility.

Sending you love,

New Year, New Beginnings

As 2025 comes to an end and the New Year begins, we would like to thank everyone who has traveled with us, those who are new to our work and those who have followed our work for a long time. We are full of gratitude for the journey we have all taken together.

Some of you have accompanied us from the very beginning, when we first created and launched our website, and others have found your way to us through word of mouth or happenstance. Riverwalker Press has been around now  for twenty years! Wow!

It is always our pleasure to share what we learn about life, to make some small but hopefully meaningful contributions as we figure out the worlds we inhabit, our mysterious inner world and our equally mysterious outer world as well.

As we step into 2026, we bring you a new offering. Our Soulbytes will be published every day of the week, including Saturdays and Sundays, so there will be no interruptions in guidance from the Universe. The Universe is always ready to communicate. So are we!

As we all pull back into the quietude of the season, we wish everyone a calm and peaceful holiday season, ringed round with joy and permeated with love. May the New Year bring the gift of good fortune and good will to everyone, at home and around the world, in all worlds.

Thank you, and all our love,
Jan and Chuck

When you tap into your spirit self, in whatever way that happens for you, you also have access to a part of yourself that is all-knowing, all-feeling, all-seeing, all-loving. This is that perfect spirit self that, if you let it guide you, will bring you one day closer to your true abilities, to your true talents, to your true gifts. Can you let yourself be truly gifted? Can you allow that you are more than your body and your mind, that you are indeed spirit perfection? The more you allow this notion of self as something other than what you see in the mirror, the more you will be able to tap into your fuller potential. Let some of your true gifts shine through today. Even just putting a smile on your face will show the world that you are more than just your physical body.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

As you work on yourself keep a friendly and open attitude toward yourself. No one is perfect all the time, though the real truth is that you are spirit and spirit is perfection, thus you too are perfection. It’s time to bring that awareness to the forefront of your intentions, that you are spirit and thus you are perfection. Try that hat on today and see how it feels. Ah, perfection!

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Soulbyte for Tuesday December 23, 2025

Start off on the right foot today by remembering what you pledged to yourself yesterday. Remember to keep pledging something new today as well. Lead yourself forward in new ways today, just as you may have tried to do yesterday. It’s okay if you started out strong and then forgot what you were intending. That’s okay; it’s normal. Keep in mind though, that the more you focus on change, and the more decisions you make based on the changes you wish for, the better you will get at sticking with your plan for change. Adopt an attitude of gratitude for all the little steps you are making, and without getting down on yourself, begin again today. See how much further you get today, as you remember what you are doing, one pledge at a time.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne
