We can understand your desire to want to protect yourself, Dear One, to want to keep yourself safe from harm, to want to do all that you can to avoid injuring yourself, both physically and emotionally, and to want to keep others from doing the same.  And you should know that we want that for you too.

You should also know that nothing makes you more vulnerable then cutting yourself off from your source, than shutting down your heart, ignoring your intuition and holding yourself back because you are afraid.

The more you trust, Dear One, the more you open up, the more you allow yourself to love, connect, and move forward with an open heart, the safer you will be!

• Thank you for being a good friend
• Thank you for loving them as only you can
• Thank you for forgiving, letting go and allowing yourself to heal
• Thank you for taking a risk, being brave, speaking up
• Thank you for telling the truth, revealing yourself, sharing your story
• Thank you for doing something that you have never done before
• Thank you for going somewhere that you have never gone before
• Thank you for using your life to create
• Thank you for every moment that you choose to live with an open heart and an open mind

We are all better off because of it, Dear One.

And we wanted you to know it.

So, thank you.

You decide what stays and what goes in your life, Dear One.

You and only you.

And you do so with your choices.

You decide what stays by giving your attention to it.

You decide what goes by withdrawing your attention from it.

So what will stay and what will go today?

If you feel as if you have lost your balance, Dear One, if you feel as if you are having trouble getting both of your feet planted firmly on the ground, the single most important thing that you can do for yourself in this moment,  is to find it again.

How can you do that?

By asking yourself the following before every step that you take, and answering it honestly:

Will this choice, will this action, will this conversation, will this program, will this meal, will this purchase, will this person, will this decision, bring me closer to achieving a state of balance in my life or carry me farther away from it?

That’s how.

Embrace change today, Dear One.

(Do not resist it.)

That is all.

Are you up for the challenge?

Create from an angry, frustrated, stressed out, fearful place, Dear One, and no matter how hard you work, how hard you try, how good your intentions are, the very best that you are ever going to be able to do is create more of the same.

You can’t make an apple pie with peaches.

Make sense?

You are a powerful creator, Dear One.

You can choose to believe it or you can choose not to believe it.

Whatever you decide, you should know that your decision will not impact the reality of who and what you really are, only your experience of it.

So what’s it going to be?

Are you going to choose to live your life as a powerful creator that knows it or as one that does not?

Don’t fight your heart, Dear One, follow it.

Lay down your sword.

There are some battles that are just not worth winning.

We can feel your impatience, Dear One, your restlessness, your desire to move on from where you are now, to someplace new, to where you want to be.

We can see you searching, looking, trying, struggling, experimenting, stumbling around looking for the key to the door that you think will get you there.

Well, we’ve got some bad news for you.  No matter where you look, no matter how hard you try, no matter much you visualize it, no matter how much you want it, you are never going to find that key, Dear One.  Ever.

Why?

Because it doesn’t exist.

The door is already open.

All you need to do is walk through it.

The best thing that you can do for yourself right this minute, Dear One, is to take a deep breath, clear your head, make a conscious connection with your heart, allow the smile to rise to your lips, and trust what it is telling you.
