The heart wants to explore. \”The little self, driven by fear and a craving for comfort, identifies only with ‘me.’ The true self, driven by nothing, identifies with the unbounded awareness that we truly are.\”   ~Ezra Bayda~  Transitions call upon us to walk forward in faith. Without attachment, we can

Soul agreements, like karmic agreements, are arranged prior to birth. \”A task companion relationship is very compatible, without a lot of arguing, bickering or dealing with intense (karmic) issues.\”   ~From Michael, the Basic Teachings~  When two souls are ready to interact, a magnetic pull begins to emanate.

No matter how far you have come, remember this… you have only just begun. \”I wanted a perfect ending.
