For anyone feeling sad, just try today. Don’t worry about anything else. Just try today. You have no idea how many others are feeling the same way, but will never say so. Just try today. Whatever that means for you. You’re not alone, even if it feels that way. But, don’t forget: while in your darkness, somebody is thinking of how much they love you. You’re going to laugh again. Long, big laughs that take up hours and fill up rooms. Sunnier days are coming. You deserve them all. You’re sitting on a powerhouse. Driven by your positivity. The keys are right at your fingertips. If not ready, don’t worry; it will be there waiting for you for when you are. Take whatever time you need. ❤️ …

This could be a time when we fall for things that aren’t real. People or situations. Someone new who seems too good to be true. And is. A time when we believe things others tell us, and are easily swayed – romantically, or in whatever ways at all. Perhaps, for now, go with those who have established some sort of track record with you over time, if it’s something loving and kind. We’re going through quite a time. Maybe there’s no better time than these coming days. To quiet the noise where possible, and take these moments to clear your thoughts and look deeply at your desires. And breathe – deeply. Alone in a room or outdoors. Thoughts will be flying. Breathe that wonderful breath through your nose! I have a big Italian one, so there’s a lot I can take in! And gently, with your eyes closed. Aaaaaaah … Can you feel it already? I do! Let that agitation happily float away. It loves to fly! You’re doing it a favor! It’s not attached to you unless you make it. And, in that gentle place underneath, your heart always knows. Who cares for you – in whatever way! – for the long term, or if it’s something fleeting. There’s nothing to worry about today. Or any other day. Perhaps take this little moment right as you read – to deeply breathe, and be still like the trees. They don’t seem worried. They’re doing okay. You take these moments of breath and calm – alone in a room, or wherever you are – to become strong. To get in touch with this quiet place inside. I promise it’s there. And after, the noise will sound like noise. Not words to agitate or sway you. And people will gather to you. They’ll sense your calm. And, if no one has said it today, you’re beautiful. You’re simply a dream! I always think you are. Look how far you’ve come. You’ve made it to here. You’re a survivor. You didn’t crumble along the way. Breathe in now. If only for a minute. Then maybe try for a minute more. I find I need to, now more than ever. To close my eyes, and deeply breathe, and let those thoughts float away. Like clouds they’ll evaporate. They’ll lift away. And what’s revealed is sky. And maybe hues of blues and golds. (I always see them around you.) Only sky … majestic and wide. There’s a lot of wisdom in what seems only air. It goes on forever. You might even smile as you’re breathing and closing your eyes. As you feel this gentle love start in your heart and hover around you. And you’ll come out the other side. You might want to stay in that beauty for as long as you’re able. You’re refreshed. And you’re calm. And not so easily influenced. You’ll find God is inside. Not somewhere “out there” so far from you. It’s within you all along. You have a wisdom in you that guides you. So you won’t overreact. While others are scrambling and agitating and influencing, you’ll be that stately oak. One of those trees we talked about. You’ll navigate the breeze. With a solid-gold compass in your heart. It centers you. While others run with thoughts and are losing their heads, you’re solid. You’re loving. You’re capable. You’re forgiving. You’re calm. And, you have a strength, as you’re moving from a higher place than the storm. You’re above. And you are loved. … Thank you for your love, too. We remind each other to be strong. I love you! ❤️
