This is not the time to sit back and relax, withdraw or not say one word. This is the time to take a stand for what you believe in, be seen and speak out.
We certainly can speak out against injustices, or speak up for what we believe in, but our loved ones in spirit are not able to do so. They come forth en masse, asking us to be their voices, to speak for them, help them self-express.
While they knock on the doors of their dearly beloveds, their family and friends, they often-times come up empty handed. 
They know you are there, they can see the ‘lights’ are on, but for some reason either you are unable to hear them because you are not listening or there is too much on your mind. You may be so busy you can’t even hear yourself think, let alone hear them ‘talk’. It is possible you wouldn’t know when they reach out because you have never recognized an encounter, let alone had a conversation. Trust me – they are there and they do their best to connect with you.
In the preceding blog post I wrote about the importance and value of speaking up and speaking out. The post included an exercise for you to explore, if you were so inclined. The purpose of the exercise was to help you connect with yourself and commit to achieving positive, life-altering results. Did you commit to that exercise, and if so, what type of results have you achieved?
Do you know that many of your loved ones in spirit continue to strive to learn, grow and improve their current existences? They are not content with the ‘status quo’ of their ‘lives’ and make a genuine effort to improve themselves by forgiving themselves and others; resolving differences, and imparting the lessons they have learned and continue to learn, with you.
They seek happiness and in doing so, want nothing more than for you to be happy in every aspect of your life. You can help them as much as they can help you. It’s a matter of making the decision and reaching out.
I highly recommend you take a stand for what you believe in, ask for what you need, be seen and speak out. Do it for yourself, and in doing do, you will be doing it for them.
