It is understandable, Dear One, for you to fear change, for you to be frightened, nervous, or hesitant about the idea of moving from what is known to what is unknown.

But what if we told you that by moving forward, and embracing change, you would actually be doing the exact opposite.

What if we told you that by pursuing your passions, trusting your instincts, taking the leap, and letting change in, you would be stepping back into a very familiar place, a place that is more you than any other place could be, a place that is made up of the energy that created you, that you were born into, and have spent all of eternity in.

The truth is Dear One, that the more you trust yourself, the more you let go, the more you allow yourself to follow your heart and to change, to move from what is known to what is unknown, the more at home you will feel, the more at home you will be.

You are so much stronger, so much wiser, so much more capable than you believe that you are, Dear One.

But don’t take our word for it.

Make today the day that you discover it for yourself.

Don’t you dare start this day off with regret, Dear One.

Living is choosing.

If you don’t like/feel good about the choices that you made yesterday, don’t regret them, learn from them and choose differently today.

No matter how badly you feel, no matter how badly you made them feel, no matter how much you punish yourself, or those around you, regret will not solve, fix, change or improve anything for the better, Dear One.

It never has and it never will.

Regret won’t help you or them to forget, forgive, connect, improve, repair, restore, heal or move on.

But forgiveness will – hope will – courage will – faith will – strength, love, kindness, and compassion will.

If you want to make it right, Dear One, regret is not the answer you are looking for.

Make a different choice.

Do you want to know which choice is the wise choice, Dear One?

We’ll tell you how to figure it out.

The wise choice is not the one that will result in the least amount of pain, discomfort, or disruption to yours or someone else’s life, but the one that will result in the greatest amount of growth for all those involved.

If you think about it before you choose, we think you’ll be able to recognize the difference.

Sometimes trying harder is not the answer, Dear One.

Sometimes taking a break is.

Trust yourself enough to know if this is one of those times.

How do you know for sure?

Ask your heart.  It will tell you.

Don’t worry so much about being judged, Dear One.
Don’t worry so much about what they may think of you.

We wouldn’t even give it a second thought.

We wouldn’t even be a little nervous thinking about what they may think of you.

But what should make you nervous, Dear One, is what you think of you; is your opinion of you.

Because if it’s not good, if it’s not positive, if your opinion of you is not wonderful,  if you can’t see in you even a small spark of the divine, and feel some sense of confidence knowing it is there, then their opinion of you is the least of your troubles.

• Why not be brave?
• Why not speak up?
• Why not take a chance?
• Why not follow your heart?

Why not surprise yourself today Dear One, and do that which you have been afraid to do?

You never know when a pleasant surprise is going to show up in your day, Dear One.

The best thing that you can do to encourage one, to attract one to you, is to anticipate its arrival.

Some days you will be confident, and some days you will be insecure. Some days you will feel pretty and some days you will feel plain.  Some days you will be adored, and some days you will be lonely.  Some days you will be creative, and some days you will be dull.  Some days you will be kind, and some days you will be cruel. Some days you will do no wrong, and some days you will do no right.

But know this, Dear One, that in this life that is full of contradictions, full of realities that are true one minute and not true the next, one thing will never stop being true, and that is that you will never stop being powerful.

You can never stop being powerful.  It is who and what you are.

Now you can choose to use your power to create things that you want in this life, or you can choose to use your power to create things that you despise, or fear, or secretly think that you deserve.   But either way, Dear One, no matter what, you can never stop being powerful, you can never give your power away, or run out of it, or lose it, or have it taken from you, ever.

You can be tricked into thinking it is gone, you can trick yourself into thinking it is gone too. But regardless of how you feel, what you have been told, or what you believe, you will still be powerful, you will still have the power that creates worlds running through you, at your fingertips, at all times, to do with as you please.  You will still be the one with the pen in your hand, writing your story, creating your world, with every thought that you think, word that you speak,  action that you take, and belief that you hold in your heart.

Don’t try so hard today, Dear One.

Take a deep breath and allow instead.
