The most productive thing that you can do for yourself today, Dear One, is whatever it is that is going to make you smile.

We promise you, Dear One, that everything will be ok, that you will never be without us, that there is no limit to what is possible for you, that inspiration is divine guidance and that following it will never lead you astray, that you will always be beautiful in the eyes of spirit, that you will be loved for all of eternity, that there is always an answer, that you are never trapped, that you can heal from anything, that nothing lasts forever, that if you can imagine it you can create it, and that we always keep our promises.

Remember, Dear One, an emotion is something that you feel, it is not something that defines who you are.

You did not come forth into the cutting edge of reality, Dear One, onto the cutting edge of thought, creation, of all that is to stand still. Did you?

You did not come into being at this time, in this place, to stay put, to play it safe, to experience as little growth, movement, change and expansion as you possibly could. Right?

Just something for you to keep in mind while you are making up your mind about what it is you are going to do today.

Think about what motivates your own rude, rash, unkind, thoughtless, inconsiderate, impulsive, fearful, or aggressive behavior, Dear One.

Is it an intentional desire to hurt, upset, inconvenience, distress, or disrespect those around you? Or is it something else?

Just something to keep in mind before you take their words, actions, attitudes, or behaviors to heart.

Why bother doing all that you can Dear One, when you can get by doing just enough?

Why bother doing the right the thing when no one really seems to care or to even be paying attention?

Why bother trusting, and making the harder, braver, more challenging choice when you’ve got something to lose?

Why bother putting in the extra effort to be thoughtful, generous, loving, persistent, patient, forgiving, and kind when it is not requested, required or expected?

Because what you put out is what you get back.

That’s why.

Focus your attention on everything that you don’t have, everything that is not working, everything that you have lost, not yet found, no longer wanted, or that scares you, and you know what you are going to get?

More of the same.

Focus your attention on all that you have, on all that is working, and all that you want to be, do, enjoy, and create more of in your life, and you know what you are going get?

More of the same.

What you are looking at matters, Dear One.

And you are the one choosing the view.

Remember that.

Trust, believe, keep an open heart and an open mind, and you’ll feel us with you every step of the way, Dear One.

Don’t, and we’ll still be with you, only you just may not feel it.

Your life is not a story To be continued… Dear One.  Your life is a story of firsts, fresh starts, new beginnings.   With the dawn of each new day you get to start again, start over, start fresh…..from the beginning.  That is what is so great about it.

Don’t, Don’t, Don’t carry the events, feelings and choices of yesterday with you into tomorrow if you don’t want them there.  It is just as easy not to do this as it is to do this.  All that is required is a little bit of consciousness.  There is no rule that requires you to continue to carry all of your baggage with you from one day to the next.  What you carry with you is a choice.  And since you are the one doing the choosing, why not choose to carry over only your very favorite things?

Take one step forward at a time, Dear One, joyfully, intentionally, mindfully, feel good about where you are going, and you will be traveling faster towards your desired destination then if you ran full steam ahead towards it motivated by frustration, sadness, anger, fear or insecurity.

Mindful choices guided by good feelings are infinitely more powerful than those guided by loss, lack, obligation, fear or desperation.

It is not the amount of space between where you are and where you want to be that determines the length of your journey, Dear One.

The length of your journey is determined by the distance that you must travel from where you are, to feeling good about where you want to be.

And how long  that  takes, is entirely up to you.
