Scrolling through my Instagram feed one morning, I came across Jill Amy Sager as she pulled a tarot card for me. Perhaps it was for you as well, but her down-to-earth style invited me to, “Take what you need and leave the rest.”
She shuffled…pulled a card…and without a beat, Jill mined the wisdom of her soul. There was no forcing of a message into my heart. “Take what you need and leave the rest,” she reminded me.
This open-hearted presence is exactly what you’ll find in her latest book entitled “Guidance from the Universe: Hopeful Message for Everyday Challenges.” In a style akin to Anne Lamott, Jill opens up her life for us to join her on the journey of transformation.
In the Preface, she writes, “This book captures the highlights of that path and the insight I gained through my healing process to help you along with yours. My intention is to demonstrate how you have the power to change your life for the better with just a simple shift in perspective provided by words from Guidance, who inspired me to share this wisdom with you.”
She describes Guidance as a radio frequency that’s always on…a channel of love. Who doesn’t want to tune in to that channel?
Each of the thirty short chapters hones in on a heart-opening theme such as Awareness, Anger, Death, and Abundance. Jill begins each chapter with a word of wisdom channeled from Guidance, and this page or two of insights is worth reading more than once. On more than one occasion, I found my eyes finding their way back up to the top of the page to soak in the wisdom a bit longer.
Following the voice of Guidance, we’re treated to story after story from Jill’s fascinating life, which feels so different from my own…and yet, oh so similar. The depth of vulnerability she shares about the extended time in the hospital as a child, the challenges of her physical condition, professional disappointments, and the multiple relationships she’s navigated (including coming out as a lesbian who ultimately marries a man) will make you thankful for your own challenges and inspired by her tenacity.
By the time I started the second chapter, I was ready to drink in more of the wisdom from Guidance, and I wanted to give Jill a giant hug for all that she’s gone through. And days later as I finished the last page, I found myself deeply appreciative for the simple shifts that she illustrated through her own life.
She doesn’t make personal and spiritual growth feel overwhelming with a ten step process. She’s like, “Hey, let’s talk about love for a moment. Here’s what I’ve experienced in my own life. What if you think about it this way…?”
Oh yeah, I could do that. I could make that simple shift, and it might open my heart (and life) to limitless possibilities that I’m missing out on right now.
Need some hopeful Guidance in your life? Jill has tapped into a Source of wisdom that’s available to all of us. Take what you need, and leave the rest. My guess is you’ll be taking it all in just like me.
