Like the sunrise brings brilliant, magnificent, awe-inspiring beauty into the lives of all who  wake up to see it, so to does this day hold many great, wonderful, and beautiful surprises for you, Dear One, if you are willing are wake up and see them.

Want to know a trick, Dear One, that will make taking that first (or next) step a whole lot easier?

Instead of imagining all that you could lose, all that could go wrong, and how far you have to go,  imagine all that you could gain, and all that could go right, and all the fun that you could have along the way.

Doing so will not make that first step feel any less steep, but it could make it feel a whole lot less scary and a whole lot more inviting to take.

Your heart does not have an off switch, Dear One.  It is always on.

It is always talking to you. It is always guiding you. It is always showing you the way.

When you can’t hear it, and all you can hear is the voice in your head, the voice of fear, insecurity, doubt, judgment, concern, guilt, lack, or despair, it is does not mean that your heart has shut down, is unavailable, or that it does not have wisdom to share with you.

It simply means that in that moment you are choosing to focus your attention elsewhere.

The voice that you give your attention to Dear One, is the one that you will hear the loudest.

If you want to turn the volume back up on your heart, so that you can hear it loud and clear, so that it is the dominate voice within you, simply choose to give your undivided attention to it.

Do this and it won’t take long before all of the other rumblings within you become nothing more than a faint and distant murmur in the background.

When you create peacefully, Dear One, you are creating peace, you are attracting peacefulness to you, you are in the process of manifesting peaceful people, events, and circumstances into your life.

When you create from a place of stress, from a place of agitation, desperation, pessimism or fear, you are engaging in the process of manifesting into your life people, events, and circumstances that will bring you more of the same.

Create consciously Dear One, create with love, with excitement, with confidence and hope, and guess what it is that you are going to get more of as a result?

Creation is not just about creating, Dear One; it is not just about the actions that you take to get something done.

There is so much more to it than that.

How you feel while you are doing it matters, so pay attention.

Hiding, shutting down, running away, giving up, playing it safe, or acting out, is not going to protect you, Dear One, is not going to lessen the pain, frustration, confusion, discomfort, or lack of abundance in your life, is not going to make it better, or help you in any positive way.

But opening your heart, your mind,  your eyes, and your mouth will.

Instead of closing yourself off, open up wide Dear One, wider than you ever have before and let in the light, make room for something new, create a space for something different, for a new possibility, for a new outcome, a better outcome.

Listen to what we are telling you, Dear One.

It is the safest, quickest, most effective, efficient, and pleasurable way out of any undesired state or situation there is.

Sometimes the very best way that you can pay it back, Dear One, that you can show your gratitude and appreciation, is to say thank you, mean it, and continue forward, joyously on your journey.

You have a very powerful and potent healing tool available to you at all times, Dear One.

One that you can use anytime, anywhere, and under any circumstance.

Do you want to know what that tool is?

It’s words.

Do you want to know how you can use them to heal?

Speak nothing but loving, kind, caring, and compassionate ones when talking about yourself and everyone else around you today, and watch as their magic unfolds.

Don’t compartmentalize your life, Dear One. Don’t compartmentalize who you are, or where you think you belong, based on your strengths and weaknesses today.

ALL of you belongs everywhere.

There is no shame in slowing down to accommodate the parts of you that that need more help, that need more nurturing, that need more guidance, that need more attention.  That is where your attention belongs. That is where your attention should be.

You, Dear One, are a whole person.  There is absolutely no benefit to you to choose to sacrifice one part of yourself to support another, to sacrifice a weaker part of yourself to support a stronger part. To press on with your strengths and leave your weaknesses in the dust.

The truth is that it is the reverse of that that will ultimately be to your greatest benefit.
You want to allow the strongest parts of you to protect the weakest. Not the other way around.

Why?  Because those parts of you that are weak now, that are in most need of healing, hold for you the greatest potential for wisdom, for learning, for growth. Hold the greatest potential for adding value to the whole.

You don’t want to banish them in their infancy, Dear One.  You want to nurture them to their full capacity. And then watch, as the tables turn.

Those lessons, those values acquired through learning, through healing, once strengthened, will one day lead the charge by bring up the rear, by healing other parts of you that may fall behind.

In short, take the time to mend the weakest links, Dear One, don’t cut them loose, because in time, doing so, will serve to greatly strengthen and lengthen your chain.

Your feelings are your best teachers, Dear One.

Pay attention to them and you will always know if you are in place where you are allowing well-being or if you are resisting it.

When you are feeling good, when you are happy, grateful, joyful, loving, compassionate, graceful, peaceful or content, you are in a state of allowing.

When you are feeling badly, when you are angry, frustrated, jealous, irritated, insecure, resentful, bitter, judgmental, tense, you are in a state of resistance.

In any moment Dear One, you never need to look any farther than your own feelings to figure out if you are moving towards that which you are wanting for yourself or if you are holding yourself apart from it.

If you are going to do this, Dear One, if you have made up your mind that you are ready to change, to grow, to embrace something new, to discover what’s next, to expand what you know, to move on from where you are now, you might as well go all the way. Right?

Opening yourself up, opening up your eyes, your heart, your mind, your awareness, your consciousness, your perspective, to a big picture, to the larger reality that you are a part of, is only half of the equation.

Letting go is the other.

Don’t stop now, Dear One.

You’re halfway there.
