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?

Right this minute you are only one thought away from feeling so much better, Dear One.

You are most powerful as a creator, Dear One, when you are enjoying the experience of imagining things just as you would like them to be.

Much more so then when you are fretting about the details of how you are going to try and make it all happen.

Your job as a creator is to imagine, enjoy, choose, allow, and imagine some more.

It is the universes job to take care of all the rest.

If you want to do your job well today, Dear One, stop worrying so much about the details and allow yourself to get back to the task of imagining all that you want, and enjoying yourself in the process of doing so.

Rise and shine, Dear One.

There is no need for you to be afraid. There is no need for you to be fearful or trepidatious of the day ahead.

We are here with you and we are going to do this with you, we are going to walk this path with you, we are going to take this journey together.

We will be with you today, as we are with you every day.

So as you rise, Dear One, keep us close to your heart, know that you are not alone, know that you are loved, supported, and being guided, know that you have great wisdom and unlimited creative power at your disposal.

And knowing all this, with great confidence, allow yourself to shine.

Love is not a word, Dear One.

• It is an action.
• It is a feeling, a rhythm, a way to be.
• It is an energy, an attitude, an answer, a solution.

Love is a lot of things, Dear One.

But a word is definitely not one of them.

Remember that the next time that you hear it, or say it.

1. Did fear, obligation, insecurity, or a belief in limited resources motivate any of your decisions yesterday, Dear One? 

2. Would your choices have been different if you allowed yourself to be motivated by trust, self-love, joy, and a belief that you had access to an unlimited source of abundance instead? 

3. What beliefs are you going to allow to motivate your choices today?

You should know, Dear One, that there is no such thing as divine punishment.

God, spirit, light, chi, prana, life force, source, whatever you choose to call it, does not punish. It does not judge, accuse, blame, denounce, criticize, evaluate, or keep score either.

It only creates.

And you (consciousness) are the author, the artist, the architect of all that is created.

Life is the canvas, and your choices are the pen, the paintbrush, the chisel through which creation flows.

We will say it again, Dear One, just so that there is absolutely no misunderstanding on the subject; Punishment is a construct of your own design, and is never something that originates from spirit, ever.

Do you believe yourself to be a victim of the circumstances of your life, Dear One, or the creator of them?

Take a minute to think about it before you answer, because your reply will pretty much determine the course of the rest of your day, your week, your month, your year, your life.

Peace/harmony/balance in all things is your ultimate goal, Dear One.

Remember that, keep that front of mind today, and you’ll never need to wonder for long in what direction to point yourself next.

If you are unsure, simply ask yourself; will this action, will this relationship, will this conversation, will this choice, will this decision bring me closer to peace/harmony/balance, or further from it?

When peace/harmony/balance is your destination, Dear One, the direction forward will always be clear.

• Listen to the wisdom of your body, Dear One, to heal and strengthen your body.
• Listen to the wisdom of your mind, the logical voice in your head, to nurture and expand your intellect.
• Listen to the wisdom of your heart, your intuition, to tend to your spirit, to guide loving yourself and others.

Body/Mind/Spirit; each has its own intelligence, its own guidance system that is talking to you, telling you what is needed to keep it running smoothly, to keep things in balance.

Trust the wisdom of each to take care of itself.
Your job is to listen and act on its behalf.

The mind is not meant to lead the heart, Dear One.
And the spirit is not meant to lead the intellect.

They all serve very different functions.

And when all are in balance, and working together as they should – you will be balanced, you will feel balanced.
