If your body is telling you that it needs some time off, Dear One, take it.

Trust us when we tell you that you will be so much better off choosing to do so now while the choice is still yours to make.

What is it that you are going to choose to talk about today, Dear One?

• The things that you love or the things that you hate?
• The things that you have or the things that you don’t?
• The things that make you feel strong or the things that make you feel weak?
• The parts of you that are hurting or the parts that are healing?
• The things that are wrong with the world, or the things you can do to make it better?

The story that you tell is the story that you create.

So, think first and decide before you speak, Dear One, what it is that you want to create for yourself today.

Creating the plan, doing the work, maintaining the relationships, finding what’s missing, fixing what’s broken, cleaning up the mess, etc.   If you view all of these things as nothing more than tasks that need to be completed on your to-do list, Dear One, then that is all they can or ever will be to you – things you need to get out of the way.

But the truth is that they can be so much more than that.

These are the events of your life.  These are your experiences.  You are truly missing out on something potentially wonderful if you are just enduring or getting through them.

To you today we say don’t waste one more second of your life simply getting through something, Dear One.  Instead, choose to get engaged, choose to get involved, choose to actively and consciously participate in the process of creation/creativity with whatever it is you are doing.

No task – no matter how small or seemingly trivial or taxing or time consuming is without a creative possibility.  You simply need to find it, engage with it, open yourself up to it and to the inspiration that exists to help you complete it.  It is there.  We promise you that.

With every task that you take on, look, listen, open yourself up the creative possibility that exists in the process of completing it.

Remember, that the completion of every task that you take on is an act of creation/creativity, and every act of creation/creativity is a sacred act.

Taking care of yourself, Dear One; caring for your physical, emotional, and energetic body, allowing yourself to experience joy, to feel good, to be happy, healthy, and at ease, maintaining your connection to source, well-being, spirit, light, God, whatever you choose to call it, is one of the most powerful acts of self-care that there is.

And anything that you do, say, create, engage in, or give your attention to that does not honor, maintain, or strengthen that connection, in our eyes, is an act of self-neglect.

You are not lacking guidance, Dear One. That you’ve got in spades.

What you are lacking is the confidence in yourself to believe it when you hear it – to trust it – to act on it.

Instead of asking for, searching for, seeking out more guidance – allow yourself to be courageous enough to act on that which you already know to be true.

Confirmation comes with action, Dear One. You’ll never know for sure until you try.

Sometimes the best solution to a problem, Dear One, is to simply allow yourself to forget that it exists at all.

Give all of your attention to that which is wanted, to that which is desired, to that which makes you feel good, great, or giddy with delight and let all of the rest fade away.

When you do, you will discover that one of two things will happen:

1. That once you’ve move on from it, once you’ve let it go, that your problem too will let go of you.
2. That all that you need to solve it, that the solution that you have been looking for, will be there waiting for you when you arrive in that better feeling place.

Do you want to know one of the best ways for you to get to know yourself better, Dear One?

Slow down, put in the effort, take the time, and get to know them better.

Find out who they really are, what they feel, think, and believe, why they do what they do, why they say what they say.

Make every interaction really personal.

By taking the time to get to know who they really are, instead of spending your time with some superficial version of who you think they really are, you will  be tapping  into a wealth of information about yourself.

Your feelings about them, your reactions to them, and your responses to the real them, will reveal a lot to you, about you.

It is a glorious thing, Dear One to walk in your own shoes, along your own path, that you have laid out for yourself.  There is nothing else like it – that feeling of being right where you want to be.  It is the perfect fit – It is coming home.

Experience has taught you that when you trust yourself and rely on your own inner guidance, intuition, wisdom and hunches to lead you, that you travel in a direction that is conducive to achieving your goals, desires, wishes.   Experience has also taught you that when you ignore your own instincts and blindly follow the advice, guidance and direction of others, regardless of what your heart is telling you, that you end up moving away from those things that you truly want most for yourself.

Know this — it won’t always be a struggle for you to trust yourself, to know which way your heart is leading you.  With time, patience and practice, practice, practice, you will learn and before you know it, the sound of your own heart will be the loudest one in your head.

When you trust yourself, Dear One, enough to always let your own heart have the final say before you take action, you will come to know first hand what it means when someone says home is right where you are, home is where the heart is.

Trust yourself, Dear One and you will be home.

• Pray for it
• Visualize it
• Imagine it
• Feel it
• Look for it
• Enthusiastically anticipate its arrival

All of these are very sound and powerful steps for you to take when you are working on manifesting change in your life, Dear One.

But it is important for you to know that these steps are conditional.

In order for any of these to work with any level of effectiveness, you must first do one very important thing: Make the decision with absolute certainty that you are ready and willing to change – your thoughts, your actions, your behaviors, your relationships, your boundaries, your belief in what’s possible, your belief in yourself and your belief in what you are capable of.

You can’t stay rooted exactly where you are, doing exactly what you have done, thinking exactly what you have thought, feeling exactly what you have felt,  and expect to manifest change in your life, regardless of how badly you want it.

Transformation can only occur when you allow it to occur, Dear One.

There is no divine schedule, Dear One.

• There is only you and your journey.
• You and your experiences.
• You and your relationships.
• You and your attitude, choices, behaviors, patterns, and beliefs.

You are not late. You are not behind.  You do not have to hurry to catch up.  You did not miss your chance.  And you most definitely did not get it wrong.

How much stress, how much pressure, how much disappointment do you think you could eliminate from your life, right now, by choosing to believe us, by choosing to believe that what we are telling you is true?

Breathe easy, Dear One.  You are right where you need to be.

And you are right on time.
