When you think you’ve lost it all, Dear One, when you believe that there is no where else to go, and you’ve got absolutely nothing left, remember this:

You’ve always got another choice to make.

Your life is meant to be a joy, Dear One, and if the things that you are doing, from day-to-day-to-day, are no longer bringing you joy, then it is time to let them go.  Simply put them down and step away, and make room to allow for something new.

You are the one who determines your point of attraction.

What you put out there is what you get back.

So, you tell us, Dear One, based on what you are putting out there, what do you think is headed your way?

And more importantly, do you think you will be happy when it gets here?

We need you to do something very important for us today, Dear One.

Be genuine. Be authentic. Be brave. Be honest.  Be open.  Be curious. Be conscious. Be silly. Be scared. Be uncertain. Be doubtful. Be flawed.

Be human.

Be you.

When your behaviors are no longer serving you, Dear One, when they stop yielding the desired results, when your actions are no longer in alignment with your thoughts, feelings,
and desires – don’t start doubting yourself, your choices, your abilities, or your judgment. Don’t get angry, frustrated, or hopeless.  Don’t start looking for something or someone to blame.

Instead, try remembering that life is constantly changing, and so are you.

If the beliefs, routines, rituals, patterns and behaviors that brought you comfort, security, health, relief and joy yesterday, do not do so today – it may simply be time to change them.

The only way to know for sure, Dear One, what love really is, is to experience it for yourself. It is not something that you can learn, that you can come to truly understand from a book, a song, a movie, a poem, or a class.

And the best way to do that, to have a truly authentic experience of love, is to love yourself, purely, totally, completely, and unconditionally. That means  thinking, speaking, and acting lovingly towards yourself, all the time.

Do that, know that experience, give yourself the experience of knowing what unconditional love looks, feels, sounds, smells, and tastes like, and you will never again have to ask yourself or anyone else the question ‘Is this love?’, because you will know.

You will then know from firsthand experience what true love feels like, so you will be able to recognize if what you are feeling for them is love, and Dear One, you will know how to recognize if they are truly loving you in return.

Making tough decisions is a part of life, Dear One.

Living is choosing. You know this very well.

You are forced to make tough decisions everyday, and today is no different.

• Choose with your heart, connected to your source, open to the vast possibilities and wisdom of the universe, and your choice, regardless of what you decide, will be an empowering one for you.
• Choose with your head, out of fear, based on logic, experience and expectations grounded in the past, disconnected from your source, and your choice, regardless of what you decide, will be a limiting one for you.

So there you have it.

Does this help to make your tough decision a little less so?

We hope so.

We have been asked time and time again, Dear One:

• Does religion matter?
• Does politics matter?
• Does the news matter?
• Does art matter?
• Does their criticism matter? (or their praise)
• Does a lie matter?

And every time we are asked our answer is always the same – we have absolutely no idea at all what so ever.   It is not for us to say.

But what we can say to you with absolute certainty is this:

• Your opinions matter
• Your ideas matter
• Your beliefs matter
• Your actions matter
• Your feelings matter
• Your heart matters
• You matter

The more you love, Dear One, the more love you bring into this world, the more love there will be!

We want to make this as simple for you as we possibly can, Dear One.

Forgiveness has absolutely, positively, nothing what so ever to do with them.

It is simply the act of releasing your connection to something that no longer serves you,  releasing your bond with something that you no longer want to remain connected to.

It is letting go of the rope that is dragging you, removing your hand from the hot stove that is burning you, abandoning the sinking ship.
