When nature changes abruptly there is turmoil; hurricanes, tornadoes, tidal waves and blizzards all bring chaos with them. Heat waves and cold snaps and other extremes cause disruptions and often death ensues. When picking up the pieces afterwards there are questions as to why. Why indeed? Nature has its ways of bringing about change, and some may seem harsh, but when change is really needed it may not be noted until much later. Look inward each day and ask: Where do I need change? What can I change today? Make change a daily habit and notice how much nicer incremental change is compared to disaster.

Whenever you feel despair, or the burden of too much, remind yourself that you are a being in Earth School, there to learn, to grow, to give and to receive, to understand life in a greater way with each cycle through life. Return to your roots, to your spirit, and try to remember your mission, your core reason for being in physical form beyond the above mentioned universal reasons. Each being has their own personal mission. Search deeply within to find your answer, even as you seek it without, for the answer lies in both worlds, within and without.

Sending you love,

Find peace in the small everyday things that make up life. Find beauty in the tiniest beam of sunlight, in the smell of a rose, in the clouds in the sky, in the taste of something special. Let the little things guide you to appreciate how life’s little miracles offer enough on any given day. Open your eyes, your senses, your mind to the little offerings that you may be missing and let your heart rest in peace, if only for a moment at a time.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

It’s okay to desire change, to wish for peace, to believe in miracles. Though your society plods onward in its usual ways, it’s okay to look beyond the status quo to what else might be possible. To dream of a better world is one path of heart that awaits. To actually walk that path, that dream, offers the possibility of an actual better world. There is a difference between just dreaming and imagining and taking action to actualize a dream. Some of the best ideas fall by the wayside because they are never given life, never actualized. Don’t let your own dreams fall by the wayside. Take one step today to make them come true. And then do the same the day after. Things don’t ordinarily happen overnight. It’s in the daily step-by-step that they unfold and become reality.

Sending you love,

Change happens in slow increments but also in leaps and bounds. Sometimes it’s hard to wait for change to come, at other times it’s hard to keep up. To get in alignment with change is part of being in balance with life. Notice how changes in your life, and in the world around you, affect you and decide the best actions and reactions to take in keeping with where you are in life and where you want to be. When change is happening slowly, slow down and be with that pace. And when change comes in leaps and bounds, leap up and bound along with it. Do what is called for in each moment.
