intuition....a reflection

going...
beyond
the fear
listening...
closely
to my
own
intuition.

Today, I am aware of my own intuition....of listening closely to the words and feelings of my heart. Over the past several days I have sought out the advice from others to guide me through some challenging situations for me....some advice has been comforting...some upsetting...some giving me a different prospective...all have been a guidance to bring me here today. Today, when I rely on my own intuition...knowing the answers that I seek are within me...
As I overcome my challenges...my fears...I am determined to trust my instincts...my own unique beliefs and values that are import to me...as I step outside the fear that has been gripping me, my instincts tell me not to be confused...not to be hostile or angry over situations that I am in that cannot be changed...but rather to proceed slowly...carefully...lovingly forward with myself...that the intuition within allows me to know what is the best for me...
As I reflect on this week I am aware of all the twists and turns...the fear that I have been facing and today, I am aware that I will not let it win!

PS: What can you do today to allow yourself to listen to your intuition for any situation or challenge you might be having?

emerging...

tears
allowing
growth...
dreams...
feelings...
to
emerge.

This morning I am aware of emerging....I have been experiencing many emotions over the past few weeks...laying silent here.....Some I have chosen to deal with....others have been pushed deep within. Today, I am aware that I am allowing those deeper ones to emerge...helping me to come to answers...decisions...growth... as I allow myself to experience them...Allowing myself to feel these deeply buried emotions...allowing tears to flow...releasing some of the fear is a process of acknowledgment...and with this I am allowing dreams to resurface....Today, I am aware of myself emerging...feeling a little more in touch with my continuous growth and ME....
Artfully Yours,

PS: Can you allow yourself time to experience buried emotions in order to grow?

focused...

centered..
moving...
heightened..
focused.

Today, I am aware of being focused....focused to the tasks at hand....I realize that when I am centered I have little time to worry about outcomes...I move quickly...I am industrious...absorbed in the task...nothing seems to get in my way as I reach heights far above me.
Today, I am aware of being focused and how productive I have been these past few days as I allow myself to be centered in my tasks at hand.
Artfully Yours,
Pattie

PS: Can you give yourself permission to allow yourself to totally focus on your task at hand?

Sweet Strength...

growing
and
asking
for
the
sweetness
of
strength

Today, I came across a quote that spoke to me....

"If spiritual growth is what you seek, don't ask for more strawberries...ask for more tigers"
by Phillip Simmons

Today, I am aware of sweet strength....and I am asking for more of it as I travel this path.

As I reflect on my week, I see a number of things that need to be worked on...I have a had a roller coaster of events going on...from coming off a fabulous vacation to dealing with health issues....Finding simple ways to connect and looking for the sweetness of strength...
Artfully Yours,
Pattie

PS: As you reflect on your week....can you find the tiger in the sweetness of strength when you need it?

Simple Ways...

light touches...
great warmth...
connecting
to others
in very
simple ways.

Today, I am aware of the simple ways I can show love to those close to me...I can start with the lightest of touches...a call...making an appointment...doing paper work...driving...Then stretching upward to great warmth...a kind word...a simple kiss...holding ones hand...dreaming a bigger dream together...All by simply projecting my love outward...to reach them...I am connected...by tender thoughts...by gentle dreams...by deep gratitude...
Today, I am aware of the simple ways of expressing my deepest feelings.
Artfully Yours,
Pattie

PS: What simple way can you show your love?

growing kindness

branching
out
with
seeds
of
love
growing
kindness...

Today, I am aware of the growing kindness within and around me...as I ready myself to take some time off, I realize that I am in a very outgoing and friendly mood....that I am passing that on randomly to others...talking more to the check-out clerk...the wait staff when out to eat...the nurses and Doctors I am in contact with...along with other patients...with friends..family...and complete strangers. Sometimes that kindness is demonstrated with a gift...with a card, but lately I am aware that the smallest of opportunities provides the most kindness...helping someone load their groceries int he car...reaching something on a high shelf when you see someone struggling...lending a helping hand...or listening as someone speaks can mean far more to another than a material item. Today, I am aware of growing kindness...allowint it to branch out from em with seeds of love.
Artfully Yours,
Pattie

PS: How can you pass on a random act of kindness today?

I WILL BE OFF LINE FOR THE NEXT WEEK....GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!

Feelings....A reflection

growing
feelings
with
love
respect
dreams.

Today, I am aware of the abundance of feelings growing within and around me...gently...carefully nurturing and recognizing each one. Some of these feeling have been reawakened and form new growth...some are filled with a fire of passion...while others hold answers that are unfolding...and new growth to appear and take place...insight...consideration ...love...respect...esteem...and creativity blossom. Today, I am aware of the feelings that are growing and forming new buds to awaken me.
As I reflect on my week I am aware that many feelings have been surfacing...feelings that have had a sleepy winter but now spring forth as changes are taking place. There has been a lightness of gratitude that has given me a flooding of joy that surrounds me and what I do...causing me to be very aware of the little effort it takes to smile...to laugh...to love...that all these feelings have different directions...colors...people...circumstances that help fulfill my love and dreams..
Today, as I reflect on my week I am aware of all the feelings that surround me and how they are both independent of each other and yet very much intertwined.
Artfully Yours,
Pattie

PS: Today, can you see the colors of your feelings growing...both independently and intertwining?
