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.

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.

Embrace the need for solitude. Your inner sanctuary calls you. Renew yourself and thrive.
I realize deeply that this present moment is all I really have and that the NOW is my sanctuary. It has all the magic and happiness that I need. I let go of the past for I am not there. I let go of the future for it has not yet happened. I look within and find the peace and joy I seek in this divine moment and I will flourish.
Stop hesitating. Movement creates the magic. Nothing can hold you back.
I will focus my energy on moving forward without hesitation. I will get things done. My head and my heart are moving in the same direction. I won’t waste energy worrying about “what if’s” and “who says?” I will rise up, feel my power and be happy. Nothing can hold me back.
Remember the source of love. A loving action is all you need to begin the process. Reach out with a simple first step.
I will pause and remember those I have left behind, my lost loves, and broken relationships. I will be brave and take a step toward healing the past. I will reach out with silent love but will expect nothing. For I know the most important mending needs to take place in my own heart. Looking back, I am filled with gratitude. For the good we had I am filled with joy. I will give myself all of the love that I ever needed. I will heal the past and I will be free.

I had no idea this involved the entire globe. It is strange being judged by countries rather than individual people. I thought it was just a few folks, but no, it’s entire countries. No wonder they’ve been telling me to be very careful of what I say.
There are many aspects of the feminine under examination these days.
There once was a time when I thought to myself that there is no reason why I cannot get along with everybody. I can surely make efforts to that end.
It is unfortunate though that some lack capacity to accept people as they are … even I am having this issue. Yet I understand that accepting someone for who they are does not equate with sharing space with that someone.
We get to choose who and what we want in our life, what we will accept, or reject.
I am in process of reclaiming the energies I have spent on making others problems, my problems.
I am retraining myself to spend my attention and energies on promoting the things I desire in my life, things of benefit rather than drain.
~ A clean environment (whew! what a task!) ~ A nice, cozy and pretty place to rest my head at night. ~ Time to meditate and clear the head, making room for proper connections. ~ Art, painting, drawing, doing puzzles, creating blankets or what-nots. ~ Love … my pets are full of love, and they are hairy which makes the clean environment a task.
Repealing the energies given to another will be difficult, I do not care for being bitchy. So I focus instead on simply extracting myself and my efforts from the entanglement.
First here, then there.
I had no idea that settling for a situation could be so draining on potentials in life. Yet settling does just that.
When I was younger, if I did not care for a situation I removed myself from it. This time however, I need to pluck something from my environment, while staying put. It is difficult, especially when that something has become accustomed to a certain character performance by myself.
I never considered myself an enabler, until my subconscious picked up on it, insight gifted to me by those who wanted me to see. (Thank you).
I did not wish to follow in the path of my ancestors. Creating relationship, and then leaving it, only to start another. It does look like this is how it goes though …
I longed for steady, for the surety of it (whether it be relationship or dwelling), and I became the glue that held it all together. The one who worked at it so that it was stable.
It is now time to let it unravel though. I’m done pouring effort into something that will not improve, that will not advance the goodness in my life, no …. it only remains stagnant, feeding off what I agree to give.
I’ve come to the conclusion that it is I who needs my loving kindness and care … haha, do I even know what that looks like? I think not, and it is time to learn what it is, what it looks like, and what it feels like.
Yes, something BIG is happening.
They say the dead will walk the earth once more. This could be literal, which it may, and it could also mean that the sleeping herd of we, the sheeple, are waking up and understanding that we have been kept in a sort of limbo.
I know my future does not resemble the past 12 years … no, I’m aiming higher, rising to the occasion, at least, this is my intention.
I’m guessing this is happening in many minds right about now.
There is a ripple effect of energy flowing from you. Be positive. Simply staying happy and sending that happiness out from your heart will benefit those around you. As you adjust your motives and attitudes, this energy flows from you in concentric circles affecting all of your desires and beliefs. There is a chance to bring good fortune and influences to all of the events in your life. As circles always represent cycles, know that you are continually going in and out of cycles, growing and changing. With every ending comes a new beginning. Trust that the positive energy you radiate will attract what you wish for.
If you have a goal or vision, be sure to provide the right surroundings for that dream to flourish. Positive self talk, affirmations, being kind to yourself, celebrating your talents and successes – all of these create fertile soil for your dreams to take root and grow. Sometimes, when you push too hard it can hinder the harmonious unfolding of your journey. Trust the process, relax, and allow nature to take its course. Belief and positive support is needed to accomplish your goal. Keep in mind Nature makes growing and blossoming look effortless but the secret is in all the details – position, sun, soil, air, water and nourishment. Make sure you are taking the steps necessary to attain your perfect environment.
This image is a representation of the harmony of opposites, masculine and feminine. You have the ability to give love freely to yourself and to others. It is important to understand that you are whole, complete and perfect now and will enhance the life of another. Love can happen. Love is the truth of all situations. Love the soul embodied inside you. Express more love in your life and allow yourself to feel loved. Everything happens exactly when it is supposed to. In that order, everything that happens is supposed to take place. You bring a bright light and individuality into this world.
Through choice and action you can steer the course of your life. But sometimes a need to control every outcome can have you caught up in a whirlpool instead of moving forward. You may move in the direction of your choosing, but it may not be the direction in which you need to journey. Loosen your grip. Surrender yourself to the flow, and trust that you will find yourself exactly where you need to be.
Are you holding on to beliefs and notions that no longer serve you? Are you blocking your own growth and forward momentum because you fear to end a chapter in your life? It is time to release all that you hold onto that no longer serves. It is time to say goodbye to all that no longer has a place or purpose in your life. It’s time to have an emotional, or physical, spring clean. It’s time to let go of the past so you can be open to what the future may bring.
Magic is the mysterious and coincidental. It is at the heart of those moments of synchronicity and knowing. It is woven into the awareness that there is more to life than what you can see. It is born of that moment when you step without fear and walk with loving heart into the Void, once your desire, and have Great Spirit send his messengers to show you the way. Trust in Magic. It is real, and it surrounds you.

We are all connected ~ We are dependent upon others for life. If we destroy the very things upon which we depend, we too shall perish. We are all connected. We are all one. Do harm to the natural world and you do harm to yourself. You are more than just a part of the human race; you are a child of Gaia. You are brother and sister to all life and living things. Love them as you love yourself. Sustain them as you sustain yourself.
You were born to create ~ You were blessed with the ability to create with thought, intention, action and emotion. Be conscious of your power and aware of what your actions and reactions create within and around you. Cherish this gift and use it in both a wise and productive manner. Create beauty, and inspire a desire within others to do the same. Create a future that both fulfills and delights. Do what you were born to do.
Let go of the old ~ Are you holding on to beliefs and notions that no longer serve you? Are you blocking your own growth and forward momentum because you fear to end a chapter in your life? It is time to release all that you hold onto that no longer has a place or purpose in your life. It’s time to have an emotional, or physical, spring clean. It’s time to let go of the past so you can be open to what the future may bring.

Take some time to understand how you really feel. Know that your sensitivity is not a curse, but a gift that allows you to receive and understand messages directly from your soul.
Come alive and thrive. Stand in your light and glory with grace and majesty.
Have a plan or strategy before moving forward.
Track down all of your fearful thoughts and feelings. When you find them, you will find your desires too.
Be open and receptive to information. Gather facts so that you can make a decision that is in line with your integrity.

The most likely reason for “Social Distancing” is not Covid-19.
It is my perception that there is an investigation being done currently as to the individuals “power” output, the electromagnetic field of the heart. (Why still remains to be seen, most likely has something to do with ‘ascension’).
When people are too close to each other, their energies mix, making this investigation quite difficult.
Being apart forces people to rely on their own measures rather than receiving, or giving energies … which form the world-wide ‘network’.
People will feel the absence of their friends. If they are not accustomed to self-care, they will not be able to replenish their own energetic needs, especially if they eat a majority of processed foods and sweet or fluorinated drinks. Their energy will fall, no replenishment, depression sets in and chaos ensues.
To keep the energies high, avoid drugs, smoking, alcohol use and processed foods as much as possible. Drink a lot of clean water, eat a lot of organic fruits and vegetables, limit meat intake. Much of it is diseased these days, see reference below.
Each person must take responsibility for their energy, for their own health and well-being. Recharging each other has become difficult.
Move the body, flex, dance, walk, do breathing exercises … anything to get the blood going and the energy flowing.
When able, see your friends. Laugh together, dance together, dine together. Try to leave fear behind you as you move forward into your tomorrows, fear creates dis-ease.
One way to remain connected is to write letters, send cards. In this way, you can sit with your friend or loved one while you have a conversation, and believe it or not, you’ll connect energetically to them.
