Lost on the Rocky Road

Are you feeling angry? Despondent? Reached a very low point from which you cannot seem to rise above?

Good for you! Yes, we say, good for you!

You have realized that you are lost. Now you can stop heading in the wrong direction and try something different.

Whenever you feel this way, know that you must make a change to correct it. Is it not wonderful that the Universe gives you this chance? This wake up call? 

When you feel lost it is because those of us on this side of the veil are screaming, "WRONG WAY! TURN AROUND!"


When you hear us, we rejoice. To you this might sound like derisive laughter, but we cannot help ourselves. We are so glad to have been heard.

So, what next? You are depressed, furious and your head aches from banging it against the wall. 

Ask yourself, what have I learned? What is the theme here? 

You will see common issues coming up. People that bother you in a particular way. Old fears resurfacing through new experience. 

Look for the common thread, and yank it out. Hold it up to the light and examine it. Once you have identified it, you can discard it and not have to deal with it again.

Thank the Universe for giving you this opportunity to change before a huge disaster strikes. Then make the change. It may be an attitude or a behavior, but you will find it if you look and all will make sense.

What is certain, if you are to continue down the path you will just become more lost, more frustrated and it will take longer to find your way.

How lucky you are that the Universe loves you so. ~Silas

All Work and All Play

Sometimes it is that which seems the least logical that is the correct answer. When you have tried all of the traditional ways of doing things, try something non-traditional. What have you got to lose?

For instance, you are stressed and overwhelmed with work, chores and to-dos. 

You cannot in your wildest imagination see it all getting done.

This is the perfect time to take a break.

Does this sound illogical? It is not.

You see, the problem is not that you have too much to do, the problem is that you cannot see yourself accomplishing it and this causes you stress.

The stress is your problem, not your tasks. 

When you feel completely overwhelmed, take 5 to 10 minutes (more if you have it) and play. Stop thinking about work and do something fun. 


This is the ultimate purpose for work. You make money, you pay for your food and living space so that you can take the time to have fun. If this is not your goal, then you need to rethink your work priorities.

Don't worry that you won't get it done. A little play time (dancing, singing, walking in nature etc.) will clear your head and organize your thoughts so that your work is more efficient. 

You will work smarter rather than harder and be absolutely amazed with what you can accomplish.

Start enjoying your life,whether you have a lot to do, or not. Otherwise, you are missing the point of this incarnation. ~Silas

It's Okay to Hug a Tree

You make jokes about being barefoot and hugging trees, yet this is your natural state.

Staying indoors can become an addiction. Much like eating food that is not healthy, you may get a "rush" from air conditioning and television. You may feel uncomfortable out of doors and miss the security and climate control of staying inside.

Like eating nutritious food and exercising, it may take a while to feel good outside. You may fear the "burn" of the sun or the dirt beneath your feet, but try it for some time each day.


Soon you will find it helps you to stay grounded. You will enjoy the tickling feeling of wind on your face, appreciate the warmth of the sun and find visual pleasure in the sights and sounds of nature.

Consciously go outside every day and breathe the fresh air. Fill your heart with loving thoughts and send them down into Mother Earth. Breathe in more love and send it up to Father Sky. Then quiet your mind stay still and breathe. 

Feel the response that returns to you and know that you are an indispensable part of nature. 

You are loved, you are life, you are right where you belong.......in the family. ~Silas
