Accept that things are in changing mode, that life is suddenly spinning off in so many directions that it’s hard to keep up. Slow down on the inside so that you are not swept off your feet by what you perceive as chaotic and untenable. When you see things happening in the world outside of you that could sweep you off your feet, simply by their intensity and absurdity, get grounded inside yourself, in your intelligence that reminds you that it’s just another day and it will end, and that things are in such flux that this time too shall pass. Remind yourself that you are your own anchor and that you don’t need an anchor in the world, you only need an anchor within that will keep you fully present and protected, no matter what transpires around you, because you are a stable and knowing being with the wherewithal to stand firm in loving kindness and compassion, for self and others, in all times of change. You’ve done it before and you can do it again. Keep that in mind.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Begin the day with a little prayer for beauty and love to come through you today, for your radiant self to shine no matter what situations arise. Say a little prayer for your true self to greet the day with an open heart and to stay fully present as you navigate life on its daily terms. It’s not that often that the true self gets to be so fully present. Often, it’s a concerted effort to keep that self on the outside, for that self is most comfortable on the inside. But give it a try and see what happens. You might find that your true self is much more easily accepted and has a much better time than you might expect. That true self might just be letting you know that it’s really okay to let it out into life a little more often. You might find that others react to you more positively too, and that your whole day goes swimmingly.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

In contrast to how loving you can teach yourself to be toward yourself, it can be much harder to feel love for someone else who irks you or does not hold you in high regard, no matter how you try to please them. Sometimes a relationship is over, and facing that truth can be one of the biggest challenges in a lifetime, for when a relationship is over, what comes next? The future can look empty and bleak when viewed from a place of lack. But when viewed from a place of opportunity and luck, the sky’s the limit. Is it time to look at your situation from a new perspective? Where lies the luck? Where lies the opportunity? Where lies the next big adventure? Where lies the bright future? It’s all in the next positive step, the next right choice, the next self-affirming decision you make.

All our love,

Put your arms around yourself right now and say to yourself, I love you! I love you so much! Do this often throughout the day, reminding yourself often just how completely lovable you are, how much you value yourself, and how proud you are of the journey that you are taking through life. There is nothing more important than upholding a loving relationship with yourself every day of your life. For you are the most important being in your life, and you certainly deserve such loving support.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Once upon a time, you had a dream and perhaps you followed that dream but it was not really what you wanted, but you only discovered that much later. At another time, you might have had another dream that you didn’t follow and for the rest of your life you regretted that. Both of these scenarios can make you feel bad about yourself, but that is not what they are meant to do, they are actually meant to teach you to know yourself better. Through choices and decisions that are made throughout life you are given the opportunity to know yourself at a deeper level and to use those past dream scenarios and outcomes as examples of how to make better choices in the future. Where are you being asked to make a new choice today? And how will you decide what to do so that you have the best and most meaningful outcome that will move you forward in a positive way?

All our love,
