Shine, Dear One, right where you are.

We need you to trust yourself and speak up, Dear One, NOW.

Please don’t wait for all of them, some of them, or even one of them to agree with you first, before you share your perspective, before you choose to act on it, and expose it to the world.

Because that may never happen.

And what a shame it would be, for both you and for them, if your brilliance, your insights, your point of view, your thoughts, ideas, and opinions were never heard because someone else didn’t think of them first.

You don’t need to change your reality to begin to turn things around, Dear One — just your mind.

Maybe you are not lost at all, Dear One.

Maybe you are simply in the process of moving into someplace new, someplace better, someplace you have never been before.

Did you ever think of that?

How much light you have in your life, Dear One, how connected you are to source, is entirely up to you.

We, consciousness, guidance, spirit, source, are not more available to you on some days and less available to you on others.   We are not more available to some people and less available to others.

We are equally available to all, like the sun, and from our perspective, there are no rainy days.

The openness of your heart, Dear One, your ability to trust, is what determines the amount of light in your life, how connected you are to your source.  Nothing more and nothing less.

You can choose to open up the shades a little and let a small amount of light in, or you can choose to open them up all the way and let the light pour in all around you.

Just how bright would you like it to be today, Dear One?

Regardless of how scared you are, Dear One, how out of control, lost or chaotic you feel, how far off course you think you have traveled, you are and will always only ever be one choice, one breath, one thought away from your center.

Always.

Why should you reach out, open yourself up, be vulnerable, risk rejection, take a chance, cross boundaries, follow your heart, say what you feel, and connect, Dear One?

The answer is simple.

Because it feels so good to do so.

Most of the challenges, struggles and issues in your life, Dear One, would resolve themselves beautifully if only you would remember to choose to take care of yourself first – to nurture, honor, love, and respect yourself first – to create, to discover, to experience a good feeling place for yourself, first.

• Choice is your gift
• Connection is your cure
• Consciousness is your spotlight
• Your heart is your guide
• Thoughts are your fuel
• Desire is your driver
• Love is your pleasure
• Happiness is your choice

You’ve got everything that you need to get the job done, Dear One.

Now all you’ve got to do is remember to pull the right tool out and use it when you need it.

There can be no brighter future ahead, Dear One, if you don’t allow more light into your present.

The very best thing that you can do to create a better tomorrow for yourself is to find something to be happy about today.
