Sometimes a little turbulence can be the price of admission Dear One.

When you begin to tread a new path, one that you have never taken before, know that the ground might feel rough, bumpy or uneven to you at first.  It may continue to feel that way until you cross over it a couple of times, clear out a path, make an impression, and become familiar with your new surroundings.

Bumps in the road do not mean that you are going the wrong way.  They do not mean that you have chosen incorrectly, made a wrong turn or that you need to go back.   Sometimes they are just the experiences that come along with going somewhere you have never gone before.

If the road gets bumpy, when you are traveling a path that you felt guided to travel, don’t doubt Dear One, trust, get excited, because the turbulence that you are feeling may very well be the entry point into someplace new.  You just may be on the verge of discovering the very thing that you have been searching for, that you have been asking for.

How do you know for sure?

You listen to your heart, you trust your instincts, you have faith in yourself and all that brought you to this point.

And then, if you should feel so inclined, you leap.

There is nothing more toxic Dear One, then taking action that you believe to be unworthy of you.

There is nothing more cleansing Dear One, than humility.

A willingness to proceed. Sometimes that is all that you need to muster up in yourself Dear One.

When fear, doubt, confusion, remorse, indecision, sadness or panic even, overwhelm you and you get lost in your current set of circumstances and want nothing more than to shut down, disconnect, give up – if you do nothing more then simply remain open to the idea of continuing to move forward – then you will!

Digging in, stopping in your tracks will not heal, solve, or resolve anything. If fact, it can do the exact opposite of that. Stopping can prolong pain and suffering, confusion, remorse and loneliness.

Life’s current is constantly moving, flowing towards someplace new. If you let go and allow yourself to float for a while – no kicking, no screaming, no splashing about – simply let go and float, before you know it, you will be in a different place. The scenery will have changed and you will find that you have moved on from that place that was no longer serving you.

You can’t stress your way to health Dear One – or love, or abundance or contentment or joy or satisfaction or creativity or clarity. 

Just something to keep in mind.

Enjoy your day!

Forgive Dear One and allow yourself to forget.

You’ll remember the wisdom of the lessons that you learned.  They are a part of you now and no one can take them from you, ever.

You no longer need to hold on to the hatred, hurt, fear, frustration, distrust or heartbreak that got you there.

It really is OK to let it go.

You know it is time to rest when you feel tired.  You know it is time to eat when you feel hungry.  You know it is time to move when you feel restless.

Listen to your body Dear One.  Trust its wisdom.  Take action on its behalf – and you will experience a much greater sense of ease keeping it in balance.

It knows what it needs and it is always telling you.  It is not shy or coy.  It does not manipulate or play games, or try to confuse you or teach you a lesson.

Your physical body only knows how to speak/express truth.

Trust it.  Listen to it.  Take action on its behalf  and expect to feel a whole lot better.

It is much more important that you learn to trust and believe in yourself Dear One, than it is for you to exert a great deal of energy trying to surround yourself with trustworthy souls.

Once you trust yourself, your instincts, your hunches, your intuition, your gut, your ability to read people, you will have little or no need to doubt those around you.

You will know whether or not they are worthy of your trust. You will know when they are being truthful or telling you a lie.  You will know when their advice has your best interest at heart or their own.  You will know Dear One, when you trust the best and most accurate guidance system out there, yourself.

How do you learn to trust in yourself?

You practice. Practice, practice, practice.

The more you do it, the better you will become at it.

And here is the thing; The more you trust, the more you will attract those who are trustworthy into your life.  That’s just the way it works Dear One.

Be generous Dear One, with your spirit, with your gifts, with your heart, in all that you do.  There is no reason for you to hold on to yourself, to hold back  – for you will never run out of you or of any of the wonderful qualities that make you, you.  In fact, the more of yourself that you give away, the quicker you will find yourself restored.  Share your gifts, share yourself.  Allow both to flow freely out into the world.

Remember Dear One, you live in an abundant universe – where there is no lack.

But know that there is a big difference between giving yourself away/giving of yourself and having others take from you.  You will know the difference by how it feels to you because one is restorative and energizing and the other is rather draining.

Take notice of how your energy is flowing – from you, through you, out into the world.

Once you become aware of and can see the difference between giving your energy willingly and having it taken from you, either aggressively or passively, it is our belief that you will at once acquire an awareness of how to protect yourself and prevent the latter from taking place.

Once you learn to see and direct how and where you energy flows, no one or no thing will ever be able to take it from you again without your consent.

Don’t worry so much about trying to write a happy ending Dear One.

Instead try writing a story about a happy journey.

How hard you work does not determine the quality of your life Dear One.

How much joy you feel does.

Remember that as you head back to work today, and everyday after.
