Reason dictates, Dear One, that things are going to get bad, again, worse even, before they get any better.

But is life really dictated by reason?

We think not.
A truth that has been demonstrated to you time and time again.
What is reasonable rarely ever comes to pass.

So,  if not reason, then what can you rely on to dictate/ to predict/ to inform/ to help you prepare for what’s coming next?

It’s Faith, Dear One.

Faith is what is needed, faith is what is required, faith is what you want to hold on to and rely on more than anything else as you anticipate and prepare yourself to move ahead, as you prepare for what’s coming next.

Hold on to faith, Dear One, not reason, and breathe deeply again as you allow its limitless possibilities and potential to  blow the limited capacity of reason far out of sight and mind.

You are not meant to do this alone, Dear One.

Needing, asking for, and accepting help is not a sign of weakness. It is not an indicator of dependence, failure, stupidity, or lack in any way, shape or form either.

It is actually a sign of great wisdom.

The more you allow yourself to rely on others, the more you allow yourself to rely on the strength of the whole to heal, create, inspire, and connect, the more in alignment with your source you will be.

And the more in alignment with your source that you are, the more powerful we all will be as a result.

So the next time an opportunity arises, Dear One, for you to reach out and ask someone for help, know that it will be of a great benefit to us all for you to take it.

We want you to know, Dear One that destiny, the universe, God, spirit, prana, fate, life force, serendipity, karma, whatever you want to call it, whatever you believe in, is absolutely, positively, without a doubt, not the most powerful force in the universe dictating the course of your life.

You are.

Accept this, believe this to be true, Dear One, and you will be accepting one of the most powerful, the most precious, the most empowering gifts in all of creation – the limitless power of choice.

The purpose of each new day, Dear One, is not to give you another opportunity to experience something that you have already experienced the day before.  Each new day holds the possibility for you, if you should choose to accept it, to see, feel, say, do, taste, or hear, something new, something totally and completely different than anything you have ever experienced before.

We understand that it can be difficult, intimidating, exhausting even, to embrace the new, especially if you are attempting to do so by approaching every experience as something to be judged, understood, processed, categorized and compared to each that has come before it.

But what if, Dear One, you did not do those things?  What if instead you practiced not comparing and contrasting, not judging or evaluating, not looking back and measuring just how far you are from where you were?

What do you think the experience of change would be like then?

We would like for you to try it and see.

Making tough decisions is a part of life, Dear One.

Living is choosing. By now, you have had more then enough experiences to know that this is true.

Life can force you to make tough decisions at any time, with or without fair warning.

• Choose with your heart, connected to your source, open to the limitless possibilities and wisdom of the universe, and your choice, regardless of what you decide, will be an empowering one for you.
• Choose with your head, based on logic, expectations and experiences grounded in the past, rooted in fear, scarcity or resistance, and disconnected from your source, and your choice, regardless of what you decide, will be a limiting one for you.

Hopefully knowing this will help make the process of making your tough decision a little less tough.

When you wake up each morning, Dear One, there are infinite possibilities available to you.  And these possibilities diminish only when you choose to dismiss them.  Only when you decide that something is impossible does it become impossible.

The truth is that anything is possible.  It is in large part a matter of belief that allows everything into your reality.

First you must believe, and then you will see.

So, don’t expect miracles to show up in your day if you don’t’ believe in them.  Expect reality, and you won’t be disappointed.  Expecting a miracle can be a very difficult thing to do if you don’t believe.  Expecting reality is much simpler, and much more logical thing to do.

But, if your belief of reality is that anything is possible, well then…..

See what you expect.  Expect more than what you see.  This is the key to creation, to “miracles”.

Some things, can only been seen in the dark, Dear One.

To never enter the dark room, to never walk through the darkness with your eyes open, is to miss out on half of the experience of being alive.

Finding yourself in unfamiliar territory is actually a good thing, Dear One.

It means that things are moving, shifting, changing, evolving.

Instead of getting distressed about it, questioning it,  and exerting your time and energy trying to figure out how to get yourself back out of it, give yourself a minute to adjust, look around and explore this new space, because chances are that when you do, you will discover that you are standing exactly where you need to be.

What you believe, Dear One, is so much more important than what is.

In fact, it is the most important thing that there is.
