2024/10/21

We definitely have the ability to make choices in our lives; to do what we feel is best. But it may be important to know that there is also something guiding us in the background. Before we even took human form, in my belief, our souls decided what they wanted to experience. So they know the destination, and they leave it up to us as to how to get there. But sometimes if we get lost, they orchestrate things to get us back on track. Let's listen. Links from the Episode: Learn how to ease the pain

That way, in the event something happens, you won’t rue not letting them know. Let’s talk about it.

Unless you’re a magician, you can’t change the way things are.
