During May, I had a couple of significant things happened that brought on a change and also the opportunity for further growth. 

I can never predict how a person will respond once they decide to take advantage of a Joy Guide membership to get a really reduced appointment since they get one free and then when it comes to renewal, respond so negatively that you just decide, ok, enough. 

I have decided to do three things around the Joy Guide Membership. 1 those who are current, had their membership updated to lifetime, Joy Guide Membership was then removed and instead of one free appointment a year, it was reduced to $50 for one. All other benefits of the membership stand. 

Joy Guide was meant for those who did not have the money for a lifetime, but the people who had their membership updated, have renewed enough to qualify for the change and I appreciate each and everyone one of them for continuing to do so as I do all those who decided to select lifetime.

This past week, I worked with the group Teaching of the Angels, with Tom Newman's group and though a lot of work, very enjoyable. Each person who had personal appointments and attended the circles and events, were so positive and life affirming that though I am physically spent from all the work, spiritually I am renewed, but not misguided on making the change I did now going on 3 years.  Most business in the first year fail. In a Pandemic, a lot of new businesses started as well as well known ones, failed, but instead of failing, spirit watching over me because when you work with spirit, spirit takes care of you, I thrived and still do. This is not meant to rub in anyone's noses the look at me statement, this is to prove that working with spirit, understanding your purpose, spirit will help you. I am very fortunate to have the work I have. I am appreciative every day for everyone who has continued to support my work.  I also realized I am more at peace because of how my work is right now. 

I cannot say when or if I will ever work in person again. I still have to be very cautious, especially now, due to a plastic fire I was in when I was 18, that damaged my lungs. I all my life have lived with a diminished lung capacity. When I had double pneumonia, they were damaged even more. My Doctor has stated all during covid, stay away from people and if you have to go out, be very very very cautious and remember that you have to mask up, wash hands and not touch your face.  I know as a spiritual person, I can change all of this perspective, but I have dealt with this so long in my life, it is hard to change what the body knows. Even though we are being told, fully vaccinated can go out with masks, I can't. I also can't trust to work in small spaces or close to people because of this very fact.  I contracted TB years ago because of working with someone who came in with it. It was a long year of getting through that treatment, now 19 years ago, that I still carry the scars of TB because of what it can do to your body. I recently told my Doctor how much I appreciate her as she has helped me stay alive these past 20+ years. With a body that wants to be different and a spirit and mind that says otherwise, I am keeping a balance even though I have all my life had a vision of living to 88 years.

Why I am sharing this is to tell you, I am not being selfish, I am being thoughtful. I want to be available for spirit to work through till our agreement, which was 70.  I don't want to be someone who spends most of my time being sick, but being healthy for spirit to work through for those who are seeking.  I don't want people to give up hope on a better day as I don't believe there won't be one, but for now this is how life is. There is just too much negativity in the world to not work on yourself and be better than them. I practice all the time what spirit says: "Be better than you yourself each and every day." I cannot express, that life gives us exactly what we need, no matter what and how it comes to us. If we don't appreciate at least what we have, we can never have more, at least what counts as more. Money, the most expensive things in life, the biggest house or best car and all the trips one can have, won't matter when we leave this place. Humans live a disposable life. We throw away stuff all the time once it no longer has meaning.  People fall into this category as well. We remove ourselves and people from experiences that no longer have meaning just as easily. I have seen this time and time again. 

I simply believe this, that when people move on from you, you have done what you were meant to do for them. If they continue with you, that is also there is more to do for them. If you believe in them, they will believe in you. If they become more than what they intended to become, that is more than you had in the first place, but never be disappointed, be at peace. You can only do the best you can and if it is not enough, be at peace that for you, you were enough.

Have a great June,

Steven
