Photo by sylvar; creative commons license. “Just watch what happens next,” my angels and spirit guides tell me. “Just watch how this all unfolds.” That whisper of intuition in my ear in the middle of the night is probably the only thing that keeps me from running away, screaming, from the situation I’ve been observing…

So DO Something about It!
Photo of butterflies waiting to hatch by Tico Bassie Some people make big changes in their lives. They never say a word about what they’re doing…they just quietly redefine themselves.

Photo by gragsie. If you’d told me 6 months ago that I’d love Mondays–that they might even be my favorite day of the week–I would have said you were crazy.
