Try something new. Even a small change can bring great comfort, excitement, movement. Add something to your day, or take something away. Wear a different color or style. Introduce yourself to someone new. Go to a different library or store than you are used to. Buy a different kind of music or go to a movie you wouldn't ordinarily see. Life is an experiment. Have at it!

You are worthy. Your are beloved. You are precious and a gift to the universe. You are on the perfect journey. Treat yourself well.

Sing out! Express the beauty that is within you. Create art, music, drama, literature. Cook, sew, knit, embroider. Make jewelry, rugs, lamps, chairs. Look at a problem in a new way. Challenge yourself. Speak your truth in all that you create. Beauty is within you and joy is created when you release it to the world. Shine, shine, shine!

Please, please, please believe in yourself and in your happiness. You suffer. We see it. We hold you in our hearts. We know your suffering is mere illusion. Your suffering is conditioned. Your suffering is merely resistance to what is. Embrace the life you lead. Embrace the world as it is. Continue to envision well-being and peace. Continue to envision contentment and joy.

You are more psychic than you know. Open up to it without fear. Get some training and support. Try it out. As long as you approach your connection with love and acceptance, all is well. We are always here to protect you. There are no demons to harm you. All that is just your own anxiety, and the teaching of small minds. All is love. Love is all.

What is the threshold you are now approaching? There is always a door to walk through, always a window to open. What is the encumbrance you are leaving behind? What is the new chapter you are beginning? What is the next step moving you toward? Make every day a conscious choice for good, for joy, for peace. Make your acceptance of what is complete, so that the new vistas opening up to you won't be

Allow yourself the pleasure of receiving love and service. Allow yourself the pleasure of loving and serving. There is great joy in the balance of giving and receiving. Those who allow themselves only to give wind up resentful and angry, or lonely and depressed. Many of them choose not to stay in physical incarnation very long. Those who allow themselves only to receive are living half a life.

Once again we are moved to speak of physical death. We know how hard it is to practice faith in the wake of the loss of a dear one. We remember the physical attachment to physical identity. Grieve. Get angry. Go numb. Whatever it is that happens for you during the aftermath of a death is completely normal and acceptable. However, do remind yourself as often as you can that you are so much more

January seems to us an odd time for new beginnings. Why not springtime when your mother earth is renewing herself? Ah well, what does it matter anyway? Any time is perfect for a new beginning -- any year, any month, any day, any time of day or night. Choose your moment and declare a new beginning. You have the power, you and you alone. Choose your moment.

Some of you are in the sun, some of you are in winter's grip. For the so-called northern hemisphere, it is a time for rest and reflection, for celebration of the bounty of the past season. In the so-called south, it is time for growth and nurture. Wherever you are, enjoy the moment that is. Enjoy the work at hand. Enjoy those around you who contribute to your life in countless ways, some you know

Take the time to get to know people: your friends and family, coworkers and casual acquaintances. Let go of what you have imagined about them, of what you have projected onto them, of what they mean to you. Look deep into their eyes. Let them tell you their stories. Open up to the beautiful, journeying, loving humans you meet. There will always be some place to connect, something to love,

There is nothing wrong with you. You are on your journey and you are completely right to be there. You are following a life plan that has been set forth in spirit, in conjunction with your many guides and teachers and soul mates. You are always able to readjust, to renegotiate the way you follow your path. You can always make it easier and more fun! Begin with knowing that all is well, all is as

At the deepest level of your being, believe in your own safety. Believe in the support available to you, both in the physical world and in spirit. Believe in your connection to your beautiful planet. Believe in your own infinite capacity for creation and regeneration. You are beautiful and wise. You are safe.

Say to your negative friend, "I see that your negativity is important to me. It has no power in my world." Say to your addicted friend, "I see that your addiction is important to you. I choose not to participate in it with you." Say to your depressed friend, "I see that it is important to you to remain depressed right now. I choose to be cheerful and provide a model for you of how you can live."

Isn't life fun?! Isn't there a new adventure around every corner?! Isn't it great simply to be alive in the world?! If you feel yourself resisting these thoughts, just try wondering if maybe it's possible to open up to them. Just say to yourself, "I wonder if it's possible for me just to be happy to be alive. I think I'll give it a try!" Absolutely nothing in your world needs to change for you to

Why worry? Why not just relax? Simply trust in the unfolding of your life. Now is the moment when you can accept, and rest, and choose wisely and well. Now is the moment when you can release the past. It has no hold over you. Now is the moment when you can be free. Free Free Free Free.

Relax. Things happen. Everything will work out one way or another. You make your choices. Notice what you are choosing and what you are attracting without judgment or shame. Simply notice. That makes it easier to choose more joyfully and productively. No shame or judgment, just awareness.

Remember when you could remember? No? That's okay, most humans don't. When you were very small, you could remember everything. You knew you had been here before. You knew you were perfect. You knew that the journey is everything. You just forgot. Do what you can to regain that knowledge of the infinity of your soul. Remember you are perfect, and perfectly imperfect. Remember you have all the time

The wisdom of animals is deep, but they do not think the way humans think. They have their own ways of being. Do not try to turn them into humans; this act diminishes their power. They do not make up stories about people and events the way humans do. Their purity is a blessing. Allow them their own beingness. See them as they are and enjoy the communion you share with them.

Take some time each day to practice tapping into your intuition. You know so much more than you think you know. You are psychic. Open up your crown chakra with purpose, and clear your third eye to allow you to interpret what is coming to you from your higher self and from the universe. Sit quietly, breathe, and imagine the brilliant white light coming in through the top of your head. All you need

You might be working on a problem in this lifetime with which you have been struggling over many lifetimes. Why not decide the war is over? Why not decide this time you can just learn the lesson, release the struggle? The thinnest veil separates you from your happiness. Release, release, release. Give up the battle and the war is won.

Just relax. Really, take this moment to close your eyes, breathe deeply, and allow your mind to rest. Imagine a beautiful light, glowing and expanding in your heart. Imagine the light spreading from your heart and filling your whole body. Imagine the light pouring out from your body to surround and protect you. You are safe. Everything is all right. Just relax.

Right now, move into your heart. Move right into your heart. What do you find there? What is blocking the opening of your heart to all the love that surrounds you? What is in the way of giving and receiving love, which is infinite? What is in your heart to do or say? Move into your beautiful, beautiful heart. There you are love, loved, and loving. Move into your heart.

When we spoke of there always being something perfect in your view, did you have the thought, "maybe I am that perfect thing?" Well, you are one of the perfect things in your view. Hold yourself up to the light of love and you will see it. Delight in the perfection of your humanness. Delight in the journey you are taking. Breathe in the love and wisdom all around you. Bless you. You are perfect.

Something perfect is within your view right now. Something absolutely perfect. How about just appreciating it? No need to name it or dissect it or understand it. Just take it in.

Blessed are those who serve. Also blessed are those who are served. You are all blessed. Do your share of serving, yes, but also be able to receive with appreciation and grace. You block yourself from the god power when you block the gifts the universe is sending. Smile, say thank you, and accept the blessings of the universe. You have many friends and loved ones, on earth and in spirit. Love

Learn from the past but don't live there. Make amends where you can. Change your behavior. Apologize. Then move on. Each day is a new opportunity. Today is your life, not the past and not the future. Today only is your opportunity to be.

Look to the stars. There is meaning there. Look at the flowers. There, also, is meaning. Look at the faces of the beautiful humans you encounter throughout your day. There is meaning for you there. Humans make meaning of all their experience. Do you best to make meaning that encourages, enlivens, affirms. It is within your power to be happy and productive. It is within your power to show a loving

But we are smiling on her all the same. We are smiling on her no matter what she is doing or how she is behaving. She is our precious child. As are all of you.

Always remember that you are here to experience the physical life. Take pleasure in the sun, the rain, the wind. Take pleasure in food and drink. Take pleasure in moving and pampering your beautiful body. Enjoy what is unique about life in the physical realm. Live it up!

We in spirit wonder sometimes why you make things so hard for yourselves, both personally and globally. But of course, when we are in human form, we are doing the same things. It is a given that in the physical world, there is laughter, there is sadness, there is good fortune, there is ill-luck, there is peace and there is dis-ease. Only focus on the stirrings in your heart, the feelings of

If you think about it, everything is pretty funny. You can laugh at yourself with affection and acceptance. Don't worry so much. Stop being mean to yourself. You are worthy, you are safe, you are free.

Imagine waking up in the morning fully aware of your beauty and wisdom. Imagine waking up each day with a sure sense of your own eternal nature. How would you begin your day with this knowledge at the forefront? How would you move through it? How would your perceptions and reactions differ from your typical day without that conscious knowledge? Just imagine. That's a good beginning.

You are much happier with the transcendental in your life. It keeps you connected to who you really are. Whatever form it takes--religion, meditation, art, nature--honor the transcendental every day.

However you choose to live your life, do it with love and compassion for your own struggles and the struggles of others. Do it in the knowledge that you are exactly where you are meant to be. You are on the right path, the only path. Everything in your experience is leading one way and one way only, to enlightenment. Choose a loving, relaxed approach to life, and then whatever you are doing will

Here's how it will be when you accept everything just as it is. You will realize that the war is over. You will celebrate what you've come through. You will relax and enjoy the wonders around you and within you. You will then be a calm, loving presence in your own life and in the lives of others. From that calm, loving place, all your decisions will come naturally and be for your highest good.

Go into your heart to find your joy. It's always there. Always. It's only the awareness that gets lost sometimes. Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and go into your heart.

When there is action, intention is important. Be sure you are intending only good. Be sure you are acting from heart-space. For example, when confronting a friend, you are best served when the intention is merely to express your feelings, with no attachment to any particular outcome. When what you intend is to hurt your friend, or to manipulate him, you will not be served. On the other hand,

You are not the roles you take on, you are not Wife Mother Daughter Healer -- those are just things you do. If you over-identify with any of them, you limit yourself and stress yourself. Identifying with the role makes you think THAT'S why you are worthy, when actually, you are eternal, limitless, and worthy just because.

Everyone is flawed. Everyone is imperfect. That's what's so perfect about it. You are all on your journey to soul essence. You are all on the journey of human BEing. Be happy. Try things. Release all self-consciousness and find your way to self-beingness. From there it's only a small step to selfless, egoless essence. But don't worry. You can come around as many times as you like.

Oh, it's so simple. Just open your heart. Just allow the love within you to pour out. See your fellow creatures as children of god-source. Whatever you label as misbehavior is pain, pain, pain. Have compassion, send love, be a beacon. All is well. All is well. All is well.

If you allow it, you will come into your full power now. Approach the idea with confidence and self-trust. Stand in the sunshine and allow the god-presence to shine through you. Share with others your experience of feeling powerful. No need for justification or explanation. Simply share your experience and you will be an example to those who are ready to join you in that god-space. You are among

Lift your head up. Walk with assurance and self-confidence. Meet people with a smile and a greeting from your heart. Open your eyes to the wonderful beings in your sphere. Allow them into your life, into your heart of hearts. Only by allowing do you create intimacy and connection. Only by allowing do you assuage your loneliness. Loneliness is not inherent, it is learned. Open up and allow.

When was the last time you went outside, not just from building to car to building? When was the last time you had nothing to walk on but the earth? When was the last time all you heard were the sounds of nature? You need the giving earth, you need the babbling brook, you need the roar of the ocean, you need the smell of the pines, you need the singing birds. Get out of town and breathe. Allow

When someone dies, of course you grieve. Of course, you are sad. When someone dies young, of course you rage against fate, against god. When someone dies, of course, you want to understand. Only realize that all those feelings and thoughts come from the physical part of your soul's expression - the part of you that is completely identified with the physical form you are now manifesting.

You are blessed with an invaluable gift--your sense of humor. When you are laughing, you cannot worry. When you are laughing, you cannot judge. Feel the laughter well up from within. Laugh at yourself most of all, with good will and comapssion. With laughter comes release, a sharing of the universality of the human condition. Laugh laugh laugh and then notice the big sigh that comes at the end.

Declare your independence from everything that separates you from light and pleasure and happiness and your own true loving nature. Recognize your interdependence with others. Share your joys and sorrows with others and allow them to share their joys and sorrows with you. We are

We want you to remember that there is always another way to look at a situation. Whatever you think is happening, there will be some other explanation or interpretation. Why leap to the one that hurts? Why explain things in a way that feels bad? You'll never know all the ins and outs of any human predicament. Find the happiest possible way of looking at it, find the love that is always with you.

Before you say the next thing, take a moment to think about it. Is it kind? Is it really necessary? Will it help the situation? Watch out for over-censoring yourself; definitely speak your mind, but also be conscious of what you a e saying. Be conscious of the effect it might have. Be kind.

It really is okay just to let it go. You don't have to convince anyone of anything. You don't have to justify your actions to anyone. You don't have to explain. As long as you are in your heart, you will know what to do. As long as you play your part with love and stillness, all will be well. Just let it go.

Really, really, really let go of regret. Whatever you wish you had done or had not done, there's no way to know if your life would have been better had things gone differently. If you find yourself unable to release a certain regret, maybe there's a way for you to bring the essence of what you are missing into your life today. Maybe it's true you'll never play center field in the major leagues,

Find your own way to dance in the light. Dance with others, dance with the moon, dance with your own inner rhythm. Waltz, headbang, tap dance. Turn the music up loud and move.

Within you is the answer. Find whatever help you need to listen to your own wisdom. Many healing modalities are available to you. Any or all of them might be the ticket to greater life satisfaction, happier relationships, more fulfilling work, and your own personal, spiritual growth. Ask around. Find what works for you. Within you is the answer, and most people want to help you.

You have gifts to give. Never forget it. You are talented, loving and true. You might lose sight of it from time to time, but your special uniqueness never deserts you. Tune into what you are doing when you feel "in the flow." That will be a hint of your special gift. Yum.

All we want to say to you is that you are precious to us and to yourselves. You are precious to each other, if you will only see it. You can choose how to live, how to think, how to breathe, even. Always choose from that preciousness, from the place of joyful beingness. All is well.

Whatever you do, don't give up your connection with your inmost self. When you are low, that inner voice will be a source of comfort and, yes, even joy. That inner voice is your essential, eternal, spiritual, loving being, connected to all that is. It's all you need to be completely happy. Tune in and relax.

If you feel like crying, let 'er rip. Cry, cry, cry. Cry like a baby. Cry it all out. Find the pain inside you and consciously watch it pour out with your tears. If you can, get someone to hold you or to pat your knee and say "There, there." Then wash your face and do the next good thing. Life is beautiful.

Isn't it delightful? Isn't it charming? Isn't it funny? Isn't it beautiful? Look at the world with these eyes. Everywhere you look there is something to enjoy. Everywhere you look there is something to wonder at. Everywhere you look there is something to cherish. Why not just enjoy it? Why not?

Do you find yourself in a strange land? Literally or figuratively? Relax. It's okay not to know. It's okay to ask for directions and instructions. It's okay to go with the flow, listen and learn. It's okay to explore and experiment. What will you find in this wonderful new place? Whether it's a new city or a part of your inner experience becoming newly conscious, relax and enjoy. What a gift!

Whenever you are sad, or downtrodden, or in pain, please remember that blessings are always available to you. Please remember that your life's plan includes a use for these low times. Please also remember that you can choose to grow and learn without the low times. You choose. So, right now, at the deepest level, choose joyful life lessons. Choose blessings.

Do not confuse tolerance or resignation for acceptance, or numbness for peace, or pleasure for happiness. Pleasure arises from happiness, not the other way around. And happiness and peace naturally arise from acceptance.

Dear Friends, Kathie here. I apologize for the sparsity of posts here over the last month or so. Bear with me and I will no doubt begin again. In the meantime, blessings to you and yours. Maybe you would enjoy re-reading some of the old posts. The lessons are simple and few, really, when it comes down to it. Love yourself, others and the life you have chosen. Be still, breathe, and notice. Accept

Say "Hello!" Say "Isn't it a beautiful day?!" Say "It was great seeing you again!" Say "Ain't life grand?!?" Say "Aaaaahhhh, that was nice." Say "I'm so lucky!" Say "Wow!" Say "Thank you!" Say "You're wonderful!" Say "Wasn't that fun!??" It works.

Because you are hungry, you eat. Because you are thirsty, you drink. Because you love.... You see? Love requires no accompaniment, no response, no further action. Love is, plain and simple. Love abides. Love abides.

Just be gentle with yourself and others. Be accepting and kind. Don't look to someone else for your happiness or pleasure. Every moment is alive with possibility. Drink it in. Drink it in.

Love your past. All your experiences contributed to your growth to this point. Remember the good times with appreciation and the bad times with humility and acceptance. Love your past and step ahead into the future knowing you are supported.

Love, love, love yourself. You are worthy, beautiful, creative and wise. You are made of stardust and dreams. You are at one with all that is. You are loved and loving. You are a blessed daughter or son of the divine. You are You are You are You are.

Never forget your true nature. Never forrget your true beauty. Never forget that you are here to enjoy, to learn, and to contribute. Never forget. Always remember.

It really is possible for you to begin behaving differently -- to treat that person you don't like with love and respect, to start the daly walk around the neighborhood, to believe in yourself as the beautiful, loving, divine creature that you are. Just decide, try it, recommit to the decision when you lapse. You are capable, creative, supported, loved, ingenius, determined, light-hearted, kind.

Begin by noticing. Begin by noticing a thought, an emotion, a physical sensation. Just put your attention there for a moment with a mild curiosity. No need to change anything, no need to understand, just curious. This is the beginning of awareness, the beginning of waking up. Just noticing. Once in a while, move out from yourself and notice a sound, a smell, a sight. This is the beginning of

Just one step. That's all you need commit to. Just take one step and then see what's next. One step, and listen for the next good move. Don't be overwhelmed by all the possibilities. Just choose a step and take it. You need not be lead by fear. Life will lead you. Allow it. You are blessed.

Jesus is your brother. As are Gandhi, Mohammed and the Buddha. You can see the holiness in these people, and in your sisters Mother Teresa and Amma, the Hugging Saint. However, you tend to forget your own holiness. You are also a blessed child of the divine. Believe it and live it. All is well.

Sometimes it is good to be cautious, to think things through. But often, you are better off just diving in. You'll work out the kinks as you go. Take a leap, you are always supported.

Trust in the magic of everyday life. Trust in the blessings always on offer. Trust in the wisdom and intuition within you. Take a step, trusting in the always reliable support available to you. Greet the day with your head held high, a smile on your lips, and an invitation in your eyes.

Your soul group is always with you. Enlist them in your decision-making. Include them in your network of support. Their wisdom is infinite, and their love for you eternal. Their patience is limitless and they do not judge. Call on them in times of grief and times of joy.

The energy of the universe is infinite, and you are a part of that energy. You are connected to that power. Relax into contact. You are creating this human lifetime with every breath. Create consciously. Use your connection to all that is to create your optimal life experience. Love, compassion, generosity of spirit, good works, abundance, great relationships with people. Create

Find what moves you. Find what makes you dance. Find what makes your heart soar. Find what stimulates your intellect. Find what feels transcendent. You are honoring your beautiful self and the beauty of all that is when you allow yourself to be moved, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

Notice the moments in your day that invite you to breathe and contemplate. There are many, if you will only notice. Meditation is not only for the yoga room. Still your body, close your eyes, breathe. That's all it takes. Every moment of such stillness is precious and increases the beautiful peaceful flow of your chi, and the world's. Take each opportunity for quiet you are given. Be still.

Let people surprise you. Give them a chance to come through for you. Whatever you think you know about a person just might not be true. Open up to a deeper and more authentic relationship by showing your vulnerability. Ask for help and support. People are wonderful.

When you think of the people who suffered losses in the recent natural disasters, do not think of them with pity or dismay. Send thoughts of healing and redemption. Send prayers for protection, renewal and health. Draw upon the great capacity of the universe for love and light. That is the way to help them. Send money, if you choose, and send light and love. Hold the vision of repair,

It only takes a moment for all the stress to be gone. It only takes a moment for the sadness to pass. When you surrender to it, it is on its way out. Don't struggle with it. Let it pass. Let it go. It only takes a moment's awareness.

Even when your kind act is unappreciated, it is true. Even when your sadness is unnoticed it is true. Even when your belief is not validated, it is true. When you are open and in touch with us, you need no one else to see it. The communication between your own heart and our spirit is its own reward.

Believe me when I say to you that you are the holder of your own destiny. You have mapped out a general plan, but the plan is always negotiable. You can choose to change your path at any moment. If you have come into this lifetime planning to experience hardshp, you can decide right now to change your path to bliss. Learn the lesson of humility. Learn the lesson of accepting help. You can
