I am here, dearest Jan – and I’ve been wanting to talk with you. I am so proud of you – walking with the dogs, being with friends, getting out more. And Peggy is coming soon! You know that I will be there with you both. Jan, I know that you are tired of life. I know that it beats you down – all the distress in the world. All the hatred and hurt. I know that there are times you wish you were beyond your life on earth – and of course you will be when the time is right. You know that. What I am most concerned about is your attitude for the moments you have now. It is so important that you fully live each moment, and I see that you are doing that. It is more for what you bring others than for your own soul – which has come so very far in this life. Seeing each other as souls is now your most important quest on earth. Practice looking deeply into eyes. Seeing the beauty there as the gateway directly to the soul. Today you saw your neighbors deeply – and it was beautiful. You see your animal family as souls more easily – and always through the eyes. Practice, for the way is to gently push aside the ego mask that can so quickly trigger response. Just pause and allow the mask to fall aside. It doesn’t take much to move it – just a pause. This is a wonderful opportunity to practice now – and will be so beneficial when Peggy is here. Know that you are loved, dear Jan – and I am right there with you, helping in all ways.
