Abundance...

recognizing...
realizing...
enjoying...
sharing...
the abundance
of my
life.

Today, I am aware of the abundance that is in my life. Today, I am aware to recognize it and share it...It is not wealth that makes me feel abundant or successful in the monetary sense.
But rather it is a positiveness...an affirmation...a belief in myself and in others...it is being able to use my creativity...to be aware of love...to dance in happiness...and surround myself with joy. It is the simple gesture of sharing that shows me the true amount of abundance that surrounds me. It is not comparing myself to others that is allowing me to feel rich and full...It is knowing that I have much to give not only to myself but to others as well...It is by recognizing my abundance that is allowing me to make a difference in my life today. Today, I am aware of the abundance that I am releasing to myself and to others.

connected....An extra thought!

connected...
to my
moments.
connected...
to my
self...
Connected.

As I was sitting early this morning, painting...my mind connected to different visual pictures from my life...different memorable moment...different ebbs...different flows....different events that I am grateful for. Today, I am aware of being connected...connected to parts of myself, that at one time I thought was the "worse" thing I could possibly be going through...connected to parts of myself that I thought I would never "live" through they were so painful...parts of myself, that were so positive...so brilliant that I could barely compose myself...parts of myself, that were alive with wonder..with excitement...with love. Today, I am aware of being connected...connected to myself...connected to others who helped me get through... get over...be connected...see... feel...relearn...revisit...
Today, I am aware that all of these events...these parts of me have helped to form the person that I am now. That I did live through all of them...that I did make note of all of them...that I did learn from all of them...and that I am grateful for all of them! Today, in this early morning, where there is a light misty rain, I am aware that the tears that one sheds sometimes only helps for them to see more clearly...that the moments that come into ones life connect them to their spirit...to their core...to whom they really are. That the moments that are good/and the moments that we think are bad both serve us well with the lessons we have to learn.
Today, I am aware of being connected...today I smile and visit these connections with a peace and love that honors who I am and allows me to see the making of myself from the inside out. Today, I am aware of being connected with all that I am and all that I am yet to be.

the path.

Today, I am aware of my path...the path that is allowing me to be exactly where I am suppose to be at this moment. A path that is helping to shape my story...my tale...my life. Today, I am moving forward...calmly through the bends and curves. There are triumphs...courage...beauty upon this path...it shows me power...gains me wisdom...and allows me to be exposed to both an understanding of who I am and my deepest self...Today, I am aware of the path that I am on and I walk one step at a time...
Today, as I reflect on this week I am aware that I hit some curves on this path of mine...and although I did stumble I did not fall...for I listened to my true self and I honored my center awareness. I am aware that we are all subject to the good days and the bad days, and no matter, what day I am in upon this path, I need to believe, and recognize the blessings and show my true colors. As the path widens I am aware that when I feel a contentment this path blooms with endless possibilities...And as I continue down this winding path, I am aware of the strong foundations that I build...and that love reinforces and nourishes this foundation. Today, as I reflect on my week I am aware that slowly...steadily ... I progress...with less fear, with more love,with confidence down this winding path.

blossoming on
this winding path...

Today I am aware of the winding path I set before myself...with its curves and its bends...I look backward as far as I can and I realize that I have always been on this same path...I have always been emotionally vested in the realization of time...of love...of creativity...Perhaps I now notice that I was often times stuck in a bend...or a curve where I could not see backward or forward...Today I am aware of the winding path I set before me and I look forward to see my core and I realize that it doesn't matter at this moment if I look forward or I look backward these feelings have always been with me and the flowers continue to bloom... this inner flowering allows possibilities to appear...allows movement...allows joy...Today, I am aware of the winding path I have set before myself and I am aware that all of my experiences up to now have brought me here...right at this moment to this perfect blossoming on this winding path....

garden
view...

Today I am aware of my garden's view...As I look out and see the flowers in bloom, I am reminded that I am also in bloom...I am in a time of spontaneous growth from within. I am feeling safe and strong in a lot of ways...and I am dreaming...I am being nourished...As I gaze upon my garden I am aware that life is not to be managed...but to be lived. I am aware today, that I should not let my every day routines over take me...but rather be free to take the trip into the garden...the magic...the uncharted...the fertile soil. I am reminded to relax...to enjoy...to laugh...to love as I pass by each flower that beckons me to stop and glaze and smell it....To touch...and appreciate all that it offers me. Today as I stand within my garden view I begin to abandon some of my old thoughts and stand tall with the newness that grows around me.

Different sides...A reflection

emotions
responses
made of
different colors
different sides
to bring me
to the center.

Today, I am so aware of the different sides to my heart...the different colors ...the different emotions...the different responses that bring me to my center... There are defining moments in ones' life that alter their heart forever...from the birth of a child...to the death of a love one...to newly found creativity and to love. These moments in there profound way change us...allow us to grow...allow us to move...allow us to be one with ourself and one with the world. These moments change the structure of who we are because the emotional response comes from the center of your heart...the center of love. Today, I am aware that loving and giving...taking and wanting...sharing and exposing bring the different colors of my heart to the surface and I am more of who I really am every day.
Today, as I reflect on my week it has been a whirl wind of emotions...of time passing to quickly...and at other times it not passing quickly enough...It has been an awareness of being in a
full circle...a full circle of energy and love. I have been aware of a path that is taking me exactly where I am suppose to be...and perhaps have always been in some sense...or perhaps it has been the missing piece that I have been waiting for...and I move forward even through the bends and curves...I am shown courage...beauty is revealed...I gain wisdom...and I am shown power... all which allow me to be exposed to both an understanding of who I am and my deepest self and to the love that is there for me. I am aware of the spinning of energy ... floating emotions...dizzy and yet smiling...laughing and yet crying...and yet I am eager to allow myself to find out that everything is more than a dream...and so I stay to feel the different colors of my heart.
Today, I am aware that my life is forever changed.
Artfully Yours,
Pattie

PS: Can you feel the center of your heart with all the different colors?
