You expect me to be the one to end the cycle of warring?
When it is you who continually bring the attack?
I cannot stop you from doing what you do.
And I will not stop defending myself.
Until you stop attacking, I will not stop defending.
It’s the natural law.
Listen to you heart. Embrace what makes you happy. There are one million reasons to love.
This day I will love. Before I talk I will listen. Before I criticize I will forgive. Before I judge I will think. I remember that after all of this is over, the only thing that will really count is how we treated each other and how much we have loved.
Pay attention to the subtleties. Look with new eyes. There are signs and omens everywhere.
This day I will open my eyes and acknowledge a deeper truth. I will pay attention to the omens that Spirit sends and receive the message. Every sign I need is here to guide and direct me. I will not be deceived. I am now excited and ready to welcome the miracles life has to offer.
No matter what happens you can find new wings. Rise from the past. Accept the positive change that is coming.
This day I will give thanks for my trials and recognize them for the many gifts they bring. I know I grow stronger in the broken places. I know that the world will turn in my favor, that the dark night is over and a new day is here because the light has returned. I have ended things well and am ready for this new beginning. I will shine, because the whole universe is mine.
Believe you are not alone. Spirit is right beside you. Ask for guidance and it will come.
This day I will take a leap of faith and spread my wings. I will shine the light from within and know my strength. For I am not alone. A greater power than me is by my side. I will ask and receive. The still small voice that I have been waiting to hear will come and guide me.
Focus on the positive and more good will come. Give thanks for blessings and they will multiply. Prosperity begins in the mind.
This day I will focus on the good and happy moments in my life for this is true wealth. I am a powerful person who believes in prosperity and happiness and health. I will stay positive and prosper beyond my wildest dreams. I give praise and thanks for unknown blessings already on their way.

Do not give up, there is hope yet. A wish will be granted. A birth is imminent. Fertility is everywhere.
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.
Examine your darker aspects. You are being shown the way forward. Your path is illuminated, and there is no need to feel lost or indecisive. Something that has been lost to you will be found.
You are creative in every way. There are no barriers to constant, consistent creation. Allow yourself to creat in joy, not because of pressure. Connect more deeply with the earth.
Establish a solid home base. Protection is necessary or granted for your space. Keep the home fires burning. You may be moving soon.

Don’t be afraid of what they say.
Take pleasure in ignoring them.
They feed on fear and anger, which empowers them. These things must be left at the wayside. Your well-being depends on it.
Focus rather, on love, community, care and compassion for your own suffering and the suffering of others, which is very similar to your own.
The more love you grow in your heart, the more powerful YOU become.
Begin with a list of gratitude.
Name everything you are grateful for … if this is difficult to begin, be grateful for the breath, for hair, for the ability to walk and see, for a roof overhead, however that appears.
Find beauty in the little things.
These are your blessings.
We are all irresistible in our own ways. Enjoyment is a natural part of life. Center yourself and be confident among chaos.
Celebrate in joyful peace. Be contented with what you have. Dance, sing, love, and create without anxiety. It is time to rest and to cease driving forward for a time.
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.
It is time for change, and it will be positive. Respect your own natural cycles. Be mindful of seasonal changes and go with the flow taking these into account in your diet and activity level.
Pleasure should be made a priority – actively seek it. Do not forget what makes you happy. Become more aware of the obstacles to your own pleasure.

Stop focusing and planning and be at peace in the moment. Patience is key at this time. Slow down, sit back, and watch the roses bloom and the birds feed in the meadow. This isn’t the time to forge ahead in any way. You may not be taking enough breaks, so you’re invited to be still and contemplate your good fortune, even if it means blessing the chaos in your life. Allow everything to fall away except the stillness of the moment; it’s like living within the space between breaths.
You’ve done all you can for now and it’s time to unwind and allow your story to unfold of its own accord. You’ve earned the right to rest and relax. Amazing ideas will come if you do. Remember the ancient saying “We do without doing and everything gets done.”
Too many of the details behind your current circumstances prevent you from moving forward quickly at this time. A light is being shed on what is concealed within you or your situation. This is the time to wait for more to be revealed.
Perhaps you lack clarity and the knowledge of how to proceed. It’s time to educate yourself a little more about your intention and then put that information to work for you. Dig deep to gain strength and have the courage to ask someone “in the know” to shed light on your circumstances. That person will be sent to you. Beware of moving too quickly in the dark, as you will likely trip and fall and have to start again.
You’re being given an opportunity to transform Fate into Destiny. At birth, each human being is given a unique map with myriad paths that intersect with one another. Your map of Destiny shows all the places you’re meant to visit, places where you will be challenged to evolve into the highest aspects of the Self.
Remember that you’re a spark of the Divine come to Earth to experience Itself in human form. As such, your path is unique. It’s also somewhat preordained, and Fate represents the events in your life that were meant to happen and that you can’t change. Fate is transformed into Destiny according to how you respond to your circumstances. Destiny offers you the ability to make great opportunities out of fated experience, so free will and choice are possible at certain points on your map.
Now is one of those times. You’re faced with a relationship or circumstance brought to you by Fate. How you respond will lead you into your perfect Destiny. Your Ally may assume the form of a soul mate come to heal your heart and be your companion. Perhaps your Challenger makes you face things within you that must change in order for you to express your highest good. Maybe Fate brings you and Ally in the form of a wonderful new project … or a Challenger in the form of a failed business.
No matter which form they take, all are perfect expressions of Fate inviting you into your Destiny. Pay attention as your map unfolds now. And remember that Fate makes the map, but Destiny is determined by the manner in which you engage your journey.
Move with your own rhythm, step to the music only you can hear. The path is winding and circular. You are assured that what you were experiencing as a setback is really part of an upward spiral. Perception is everything: you’re not retracing your steps or going backward, but rather around and up. You can be comforted, knowing that your path is one of success, adventure, and experience.
Keep on dancing and magic will happen. Also, it’s okay to allow someone else to take the lead at this time. Make sure to let others know that you’re open. Always remember that relationships are mirrors and will show you the past, the present, and the potential future.
All relationships have a destiny. Each is a sacred teacher with valuable lessons to share, even if it appears that the two of you are dancing in different directions. All the steps are perfect, even when you may seem to be stumbling. Destiny’s true path is seldom straight.
After your rest and relaxation …
You will be rightly inspired to move forward and take confident and assertive action to reach your goal.
Envisioning the path of the highest good with an optimistic outlook, things come together as if by magic to create the reality you seek.
You have every reason to be hopeful. Move forward, knowing that you have everything you need and more. Just remember to share the enthusiasm, believe in others, and be optimistic for them too, and your good fortune will multiply.

Recognize your own unique beauty. Stop comparing yourself to others. Real beauty is apparent in all cultures and in all ages. Beauty should not be used as a weapon.
It is never too late to change. Regret is useless forgiveness may be necessary. Bravery is valuable.
Healthy fierceness is required. Strengthen your physical body. Walk forward in pride and know that you can fight any battle. You need to strike a balance between masculine and feminine.
Pleasure should be made a priority – actively seek it. Do not forget what makes you happy. Become more aware of the obstacles to your own pleasure.
Be yourself. Your power is who you really are. Resist the urge to create a false identity. You will overcome adversity by developing your own strengths.

“Sometimes questions are more important than answers.” ~ Nancy Willard
Paying attention to the questions you ask yourself can be a spiritual practice in and of itself. For instance, questions such as “Why is this happening to me?” or “Why do I always do this?” often have self-judgement built right in them, and as a result they make us feel bad rather than help us find the answer to any challenge we are experiencing.
Simply changing the focus of our questions can open up whole new avenues of compassion for ourselves and provide a way forward through our darkest moments. Be aware of your intention, and let your questions flow in a way that is curious, loving, and healing.
TODAY’s ACTION
Try on these questions when faced with challenges:
What will best support me in this situation?
What do I really want?
How would I act if I were not afraid?
~ Warrior Goddess Wisdom, Daily inspiration for women, by Heatherash Amara
New beginnings: It is time for a fresh start. One cycle ends, and a new one begins. Rejoice: a new you emerges! You are blossoming.
Protection: You are loved and protected even through the most difficult of trials. This is a time for healing. You need mothering or to use your mothering energy. Magic is happening!
Power: Change is welcome. Allow the storm to pass, as it is necessary to clear the way. You are protected in your search for equality. Do not misuse your power.
Strategy: Use your head rather than your heart. Formulate a wise strategy. Plan ahead for best results.
Unity: You will be victorious. Teamwork or a partnership may be better than going it alone. Synergy is important right now. Delegation is useful.
