Beyond the Lemonade

When life hands you lemons, why stop at lemonade? 

Smell the lemons, juggle them, make pink lemonade, lemon chiffon, lemon tarts, lemon meringue, and lemon drops.

The amazing tart taste that is so unique is a combination of the lemons' sourness and the added sweetness you bring to them.

When life brings you a sour situation, take the opportunity to create a little tartness in your life. 

What can this challenge teach me? How will it help me grow? How will I overcome it and become stronger and more resilient? 

Become such a gifted creator of lemon cuisine that you will not experience the "sour" parts of life. Only opportunities to make it a "tart," unique and grand expression of your soul.

Drink up! ~Silas

Making Miracles

Sometimes you create problems so that you can come up with ingenious and miraculous solutions. 

If you, instead, create the miracles first, then the problem does not need to exist and your life becomes a miracle. 

So do not strive to be a problem solver, strive to be a miracle maker. ~Silas

First You Ask

If you petition the fae for help, we might ask for a show of gratitude, respect and we also enjoy a shiny trinket or two. 

It is not your wealth or property that we seek, but your commitment.

We are not pets to be trained, but fellow travelers, with abilities that can be of benefit to you. 

But we will never provide help unless you ask.~Silas

Re-Writing the Story

You have vivid imaginations, capable of amazing visions. 

What would happen if you used this vision to create beauty and love instead of fear and hate?

When you see a person who makes you fearful, what is the source of that fear?

Did this person actually hurt you? Then your fear is valid. 

Did someone who looked like them hurt someone who looked like you? Do they belong to a group that did something to harm another person? Are they just so different that you don't have an opinion to form, but you create a fear-based one and view them as a threat?

The man covered in menacing tattoos may be a doctor who saves lives. The standoffish young woman may have been recently assaulted and has not yet learned to trust. The person whose skin is of a different color than yours may be somebody's mother, brother, child or the best friend they ever had. 

If you don't know someone's story, and can't make up a positive one, then don't make up one at all. Better yet, get to know the person and create a whole new chapter.

Changing the world is not as hard as you think. But it does mean working hard to change your thinking. ~Silas

Clean Up Your Area

There are many now who are worrying themselves sick over the state of affairs of the world. The world has problems, but there are too many of them for you to solve them all.

You don’t have to have the most menacing “CAPS LOCK” on social media. Simply, do something to help your cause. Do not demand the same of others. That is not your job.

Volunteer, pick up trash, send healing energy to someone you don’t know.

Make your small corner of the world a beautiful place to live. When others see it, they will want to create their own.

 

And then the revolution of love begins. ~Silas

Taking Off the Blinders

When you feel that you have only one doorway, one pathway available to you, it is because, you have put blinders on yourself and can only see the one narrow path. 

You convince yourself that only by moving forward down this path can you succeed with your plans and goals in life.

It is time to take off the blinders. 

Do it now. Then look to the left and right. Look behind you. See hundreds of doors and pathways each with hundreds of choices contained inside of them. Your options are without limit if you can broaden your vision.

Let today be the day, that you open up to see all of the options you have in your life. Don’t rush to try them all, just explore, until you find one that feels perfect for you.

Then, enjoy the adventure. ~Silas

The Perfect Gift For You

The greatest gift you can possibly give to yourself is you.

You are Divine energy expressing itself in a manner that the most perfect aspect of you has chosen.

Your flaws, as you call them are in place because you have put them there to be the perfect vehicle for you learning experience on Earth during this lifetime.

Your talents, and you all have them, are the cherry on top of the most satisfying cake with the richest, creamiest icing that your taste buds are capable of perceiving. Enjoy them, explore them and share them with the world.

Make time every day to turn inward. Find yourself amid all that your society has told you that you must be.

Find the real you. This is the soulmate and partner you have been seeking. You would not sell this magnificent being short by entering poorly chosen or abusive relationships. 

To attract the highest quality mate, you must first become that. And to become that, you must meet and fall in love with the most perfect mate of all……yourself. ~Silas

Changing Into Yourself

Sometimes when you change, you do not become a different person. You become the person you really are.

That person that you have hidden from others. That person that you have been suppressing to do your job or find the right relationship. 

Spend time with yourself every day. Learn to be who you are and when you find yourself suppressing your personality around others, seek out those who allow the "real you" to come out.

You will have people in your life for whom you must "tone it down," just a little. Don't discount them all as they may have something to share and enhance your life. Just don't define yourself by those relationships.

Take some time to experience the wild, untamed, joyful and passionate you, uncensored and without boundaries. If you do this often enough, you will always be able to come back to that place no matter what the world throws at you. 

Enjoy yourself! Earth is an amazing playground! ~Silas

Life Alchemy: The Next Step

Now that you are a Life Alchemist, turning all of the “base metal” situations your life hands you into gold, what is next?

Will people find out about your talents and look for ways to exploit them? Will others continually bring you a steady stream of lead until you are overwhelmed trying to transform it all? 

There are reasons that alchemists work in secret.You may not have gold to covet, but people might be attracted to your joy and positive attitude.

You can shield yourself from undesirable energies, but as your vibration rises, you will find less of them attracted to you. 

The next step in your Alchemy mastery is to turn lower quality gold in to that of a higher quality. The original challenges are easily transmuted and self-mastery becomes an achievable goal.

Your learning continues while you are on Earth, but as you learn the hard skills necessary for the Alchemy craft, you will start, refining and polishing your work. 

You can discover metals more desirable than gold as you expand your energy into other dimensions and open all of your psychic as well as physical senses.

Your limits exist only in your head. So it is time to get out of your head and start the magical transformation process! And today is as good a day as any! ~Silas
