You are looking forward to making steady progress, but it could prove to be elusive for a while longer, so don't try to fill in too many details yet. One of your current challenges is to keep your life in motion without necessarily knowing exactly where you are going. Faith in the unknown isn't easy for you, but it can smooth out your frayed edges today".
This was my horoscope some time ago. Even though, I usually do not take stock in everything I read from horoscopes, this one just seemed to speak to me. Especially, "one of the current challenges is to keep your life in motion without knowing exactly where you are going" and "faith in the unknown isn't easy for you..." How true is this? So many of us wonder if where we are right now, is actually where we are supposed to be. We wonder if the choices we made in life were correct and did we choose the right roads to travel? As I read this horoscope, it reminded me of a story some friends shared with me a couple of years ago. They, along with their child and dog, climbed up one of the mountains in the Adirondacks. Along their way, they were surrounded by beauty and they had no doubt they were on the right path. However, once they started their way down the mountain, their path became less clear as they realized they had not brought a flashlight and it was it was becoming very dark. By the time they had reached their halfway point, they could not see their own hand in front of their face. They did however, have a lighter. So, with a little lighter and a whole lot of faith, they started their decent down the final part of this mountain. Only stopping briefly to rest. All they had was a little lighter to light their way and it really only lit about a foot in front of them. Yet, with child and dog in tow, they continued they journey down this path until they reached their final destination. Psalm 119:105 (NIV) says "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path". Plainly, the headlights on our vehicles can be a great example of this passage. When you drive at night, you know your headlights only illuminate a few hundred feet in front of you. Yet, even though you can't see farther than that, it does not deter you from going where you need to go. Our life is no different. We were never promised to see the entire way, we were only promised a light for our path. Even though, we can only see what is directly in front of us and around us, we still need to continue our journey in life. We need to move forward. In faith, no matter what is going on around us or what we can or cannot see, we will get to where it is we need to go. How many of us are frustrated because we know where we should be going, yet get lost along the way? If you are anything like I was, you get lost and refuse to stop and ask for help. Well, here is a little bit of advice. Stop and ask for help! Sometimes, we just need to ask for help to get us back on the right road. This can come in the form of prayer, meditation, yoga or just asking a friend for advice. But if we don't at least ask for help when we get lost, we may never truly find our way. If you feel you are on the right road yet are getting discouraged because the road is full of potholes maybe you need to stop and rest a bit! Or, if the luggage from your past is weighing you down from getting to your destination sooner maybe you need to stop for rest and for some help! Just remember to stop just long enough to rest or get the help you need to move forward. If you stop and look around and see nothing but misery, then chances are, you have made a wrong turn somewhere and more-than-likely ended up going the wrong way. So, if this is you and you have no idea where in the hell you are right now, what do you do? Well, Winston Churchill said it perfectly. "If you are going through hell, keep going". First and foremost, keep moving forward. Recognize that you are not where you want to be and trust the Universe to guide you back to where you need to be. Do not sit there and beat yourself up for making a wrong decision or taking a wrong road. I guarentee that God won't beat you up! Nor, is there is any reason to turn around and go back and find out what went wrong and when. Remember, always move forward. In my last email, I mentioned about not having eyes in the back of heads for a reason. We are only meant to look forward in life...never backwards. The important thing is to get back on the right road. Trust on this. I can tell you if you continue to move forward you will end up exactly where you need to be. If you feel you are not where you feel you should be, understand there will be an opportunity for you to get your life back on the right path. The Universe only wants you to succeed and will ALWAYS present opportunities for this to happen. Usually, it will come in some way for you to help someone or something in need. It will come in some form of kindness from you directed towards someone or something else. It may be helping a stray dog find a new home or giving a homeless person their next meal. Or simply, giving someone that parking spot you have waited over 10 minutes to get. Whatever the case may be, recognize it as a way for you to get back on the right path.
I hope all is well and each of you are on the right road in life. If not, may this help you get back on path!
You are loved and it is all good!

Thanks so very much Tammy for your kindness. You both left such a wonderful impression. This is why I remember you both so very well. It is almost like a imprint you would see on old film. Both of your faces are forever imprinted on my heart. I love hearing from you. Again, thanks!
