Take a few minutes and write down 5 things that you are grateful for, Dear One.

Why?

Because gratitude is a powerful emotion and we want you to enjoy all of the benefits that it will bring to your day today.

You can choose to believe that you can handle it Dear One, or you can choose to believe that you can’t.

Whichever choice you make, you’ll be right.

There is no such thing as impossible Dear One.  There are only those things that you have not yet seen come to pass.

There is a huge difference between never and not yet.

Practice saying “not yet” instead of “never” and your whole perspective of the world, of what’s possible, will change.

Never closes doors Dear One.

Not yet blows them wide open.

An unsolicited piece of advice for you today Dear One: Don’t fight your heart, follow it.

When there is a battle raging within you between your head and your heart – – know this, your heart will always win, every single time – – eventually.

You can choose to take the long road around and figure this one out for yourself the hard way, or you can choose to take the shortcut, and trust us.

We would love nothing more than to see you save yourself whole heap of time, aggravation and grief by deciding to act on your hearts behalf sooner rather than later Dear One.

But all we can do is make the suggestion, it is up to you decide which route  you want to take.

What you see as failure or rejection Dear One, we see as simply a lack of alignment.

And your alignment is something that you have the ability to change, anytime you would like.

There is no honor in doing that which you do not believe in Dear One.

There is no honor in pretending to care when you do not.

There is no honor in deceiving someone simply to avoid confrontation.

Do you really want to do the honorable thing?

Be honest.  Be compassionate. Be loving.

Open your heart, release your judgments and care.

Smile, Dear One.

Something wonderful is going to happen to you very soon.

And when it does, you should remember to smile and say thank you.

If you do, there is a very good chance that it will happen again.

And when it does, you should remember to smile and say thank you.

If you do, there is a very good chance that it will happen again .

Are you starting to get the idea?

Your heart does not have an off switch Dear One.  It is always on.

It is always talking to you. It is always guiding you. It is always showing you the way.

When you can’t hear it, and all you can hear is the voice in your head, the voice of fear, insecurity, doubt, judgment, concern, guilt, lack, or despair, it is does not mean that your heart has shut down, is unavailable, or that it does not have wisdom to share with you.

It simply means that in that moment you are choosing to focus your attention elsewhere.

The voice that you give your attention to Dear One, is the one that you will hear the loudest.

If you want to turn the volume back up on your heart, so that you can hear it loud and clear, so that it is the dominate voice within you, simply choose to give your undivided attention to it.

Do this and it won’t take long before all of the other rumblings within you become nothing more than a faint and distant murmur in the background.

Was I unhappy there, when I was in in spirit?

• No, you were loved here, Dear One.

Then why did I leave?

• To experience love there.

Act courageously today Dear One; say what you think, do what you feel, honor your heart, act on its behalf.

And then celebrate the fact that you have done so – regardless of the outcome.

This is not a practice designed to get you to take bigger strides, its an exercise to help you feel good about consciously making more authentic ones.
