You are encouraged to find a more peaceful and connected way to live. A regular spiritual practice will transform you for the better. Connect more deeply with your own rituals of peace.
Romantic love comes into focus. Build your love of self from the inside out. You only fear because you lack self-love and acceptance. Jealousy is unnecessary.
A new path opens to you, and you are protected. A rite of passage is close. You are about to pass through a new gateway that will change you. Do not be afraid to open up.
Your time of healing is here. Past hurts will recede. Be inspired to create – this in itself is healing. It is your birthright to create.
It is never too late to change. Regret is useless. Forgiveness may be necessary. Bravery is valuable.

Today is a day to focus on removing obstacles. Some days it feels like doors shut, roadblocks go up, stairs become steeper. Obstacles can teach me things, I know. But sometimes enough is enough and it is time to clear them out. Today I remove any obstacles of thought or action that are keeping me from reaching my goals. These obstacles will diminish and my way will be made clear.
A question many of us are asking ourselves these days.
I Am a resilient survivor.
A tackler of inner triggers.
One who must consciously focus on positive affirmation to counter the habitual negative patterns.
A molder of personal character.
One who is in process of releasing judgement and the need to be right.
A person who has vowed to never simply ‘settle’ for the mediocre, the stagnant waters of life. Making effort to stir it up, open it up, and create that which is beneficial and able to incorporate something greater.
One who recognizes that life is a balance.
Working on the scales of positive and negative, aware that when a negative crops up it must immediately be countered with a positive.
A woman who is taking pleasure in cleaning up her surroundings.
A woman in process of admiring that which she has become … thus far …
She recognizes that pessimism and thoughts about the way things ought to be need thrown out the window.
She longs to love and care for life in all its many forms and ways of being, yet like religion, knows that variance of opinion or belief does not need to be imposed upon another.
Freedom to be, to choose … an inherent right, as long as it does no harm to the children, physically or mentally.
Harm … who is to judge what that is? For it varies on the scale of 1 to 10, as does all else in this world … the Scale of Polarity.
I Am She who sees the light of a child in the eyes of a canine, a squirrel, and many other forms of life.
She who sees love shared among even the smallest of creatures, and the celebration of joy in the simplest of experiences.
One who acknowledges past conditioning created many barriers which need dismantled, patterns of beingness reformatted.
She who is determined to take charge and choose a different future from those of previous cycles. Choosing to be an active Creator of environment and life.
A Gentle Soul capable of a Mighty Roar.
One who accepts the guidance and sometimes path altering pushes from Guardian, Guides, Ancestors and Angels.
She admits that her thoughts and ideas should not, and cannot, form the collective scale of what is appropriate. So she practices release of opinion and the sometimes hidden judgement.
One who is grateful to be free from rule-making and managing the various outputs of another.
The world is filled to the brim with people pushing, pulling and attempting to format the minds and hearts of those living around them, and otherwise, ignoring the internal workings of their own mind and heart.
Any time a criticism arises of someone or something, it must be flipped straightaway to the personal … Am I this or that? Do I do this or that? Only then can we begin the see the reality of outward appearances and circumstances as our mirror, which is most often found to be our own reflection.
That beautiful mirror that allows us to see the Raw Truth, should we be willing.
Take a break and enjoy a quiet period. This time can be used to regroup, recover and stabilize yourself. It is wise to keep in mind the fact that this is for a limited period of time. You are pausing to regain your footing. As you evaluate your environment, check to see if you need to clear any ill with anyone. Ask for forgiveness and be willing to forgive as necessary to move forward. Enjoy this downtime. Acknowledge the importance of recharging your energy so you are refreshed and ready to tackle life and any challenges that come your way.
Nature holds all aspects of light. The light is the same brilliant light that shines out of every child while they are still in touch with the magic of the world and nature. Find the innocence of your childhood light within you and reconnect with it. This light represents your virtue and holds the memory of perfect trust, fearlessness in others and total self-reliance. It will allow you to see the world with the eyes of a child. You will be excited to learn new things every day. How much happier your world would be if everyone reconnected to his or her purest essence!
A new course or route is coming into your awareness. It is time to utilize your knowledge and complete the task at hand. As you finish one aspect of your life, begin thinking about what you would like to do next. This is part of your life’s journey – you are constantly shifting and developing. You may feel contentment, fulfillment and pride, because you have accomplished something. There is productivity and reward as a bonus for your efforts. The good fortune you realize is evidence that you are putting sufficient energy into your life’s journey to get out of it all you desire.

An elderly woman got on a bus and sat down. At the next stop, a strong, grumpy young woman climbed up and sat down sharply beside the old woman, hitting her with her numerous bags.
When she saw that the elderly woman remained silent, the young woman asked her why she had not complained when she hit her with her bags.
The elderly woman replied with a smile: “There is no need to be rude or discuss something so insignificant, as my trip next to you is short because I am going to get off at the next stop.”
This answer deserves to be written in gold letters: “There is no need to discuss something so insignificant, because our journey together is too short.”
Each of us must understand that our time in this world is so short, that darkening with struggles, useless arguments, jealousy, not forgiving others, discontent and an attitude of constant discovery is a ridiculous waste of time and energy.
Did someone break your heart ? Stay calm. The trip is too short.
Did someone betray you, intimidate, cheat or humiliate you? Relax. Excuse. The trip is too short.
Did someone insult you without reason ? Stay calm. Ignore it. The trip is too short.
Did a neighbor comment on the chat that you didn’t like ? Stay calm. Ignore him. Forgive that. The trip is too short.
Whatever the problem someone has brought us, remember that our journey together is too short.
No one knows the length of that trip. Nobody knows when it will arrive at its stop. Our trip together is too short.
We will appreciate friends and family.
Let us be respectful, kind and forgive, we will be filled with gratitude and joy, after all our trip together is very short.
In difficult times, you move forward in small steps. Do what you have to do, but little by little. Don’t think about the future, or what may happen tomorrow. Wash the dishes. Remove the dust. Write a letter. Make a soup. You see? You are advancing step by step. Take a step and stop. Rest a little. Praise yourself. Take another step. Then another. You won’t notice, but your steps will grow more and more. And the time will come when you can think about the future without crying.

I haven’t experienced ‘relative’ silence for nearly two decades. Yes, I was exposed to one heck of an egregore, 2 in fact. I’m surprised I survived it.
In the last two weeks the mind has gone quiet. It is odd, not listening to many folks speaking from the unseen. I am grateful.
It was so odd, in fact, and I had become so accustomed to it over the last 17 years, I found myself doing things that would actually make the mind noisy.
Last night though, the thought came to me … “Enjoy the silence. When was the last time you experienced it? You really have no idea how long it will last … enjoy it.”
And so I took a book to bed with me and read until I was sleepy.
And I woke this morning to silence, or near so.
And I reveled in it.
Just two short weeks ago this was such a different story.
Is the resonance calming, or have the egregories become distracted by another, or others? Either way, I’ll be thankful for this time and relish the ‘solitude’.
And I will focus on creating the life I desire.
And I will pull back all energies and efforts from that which does not serve this vision.
Thank you for the lessons. It was a difficult process, one that may not be finished … yet still, I must thank you for this reprieve.
Integrity ~ Drop the things that offend your soul. Embrace your truth. It’s your life, let no one live it for you.
I honor all that I am. I am always completely myself and that is enough. Today I will honor myself and my personal integrity and rise up in its power. I will embrace the greater part of me and live with sincerity and honor. I will be honest with myself, live a life of truth, and I will be free.
Humor ~ Laugh at yourself, lighten your heart. Let nothing steal your happiness.
Today I will focus on joy. I now see the good and happy moments that surround me and give thanks. I will not complain. Instead, I will laugh at the comedy of life and let nothing keep me from my happiness. I will let humor fill my heart with rainbows, fun fill my soul with stars, and dance even if it rains.
Dreamer ~ Your Dreams have chosen you. Find fulfillment in pursuing your destiny. This is the magic of life.
Today I will take time for the dreamer in me. I will remember that my dreams have a purpose and were given to me for a reason. I will not be misled by the opinions and doubts of others, for this is my journey and only I can know the way. I will focus on taking steps toward my dreams and I will never give up.
