Just beyond reach...

dangling...
tempting...
a dream
just
beyond
my
reach...

Do you have one? A dream dangling there just beyond your reach....where you can see it but just can't seem to touch it or experience it to the fullest. I am aware of that today, aware that no matter how hard I try to reach for that dream...no matter how close I seem to come on some days I just can't grab a hold of it....know that it is real...
I wonder if I torture myself with this dream...if I keep it at arms length just to see what might happen if I do grab it....or if it is real...perhaps only in my mind...in my dreams...an illusion of something that might be...could be...should of been...
Today, I wonder what I should do about that dream...should I hope that just the sight of it should push me forward? Should I try harder to make it come true? Give it more time and space to drop closer to me...so that I could hold it in my hands? Should I let it go?
This dream that is just beyond my reach...holds great strength for me on days...holds great strength over me on other days...and yet I keep it close where my eyes can see it...and I hold it in my heart....but I cannot seem to either let it go or pull it close....
Today, I am aware of this dream just beyond reach....and today, I question it....

remaining open....a reflection

remaining open to...
growth...
dreams...
adventures...
thoughts...
feelings...
love.

Today, I am aware to remain open...not allowing myself to close up....close off...
Today, I am aware that nothing is ever simply black and white...there are so many variables that go into any given situation...that each of us has our story...and that no two are alike even though they might stand side by side.
Today, I remain open to new growth...new dreams...new adventures...new thoughts...new feelings...new creativity...new love.
Today, I am aware to remain open and see all that surrounds me.

As I reflect on this week...I am aware of connecting to my words with honesty. That I have been gentle with myself as I rock back and forth...side to side with emotion. That I make sure to turn things over to see the richness and texture of what is underneath. I am aware of building bridges to safely hold me as I step forward. To softly observe and separate the past...present and future in order to chase any blues away that might stop me from learning to fly.
Artfully Yours,
Pattie

PS: What can you do today to be aware to remain open to all your possibilities?

PPSS: As you reflect on your week may you be gentle with yourself as you step forward to fly.

Today, I am chasing away the blues...separating the thoughts and the feelings...observing the past...present...future.

bridges...

bridges
anchored between
here and there
safely allowing
me to
step forward.

Today, I am building bridges...bridges made from knowledge...faith...belief...hope...love. Bridges that allow me to feel safe when I leap between the "here" and the "there". Bridges that allow me to trust myself as my inner voice carries me across gaps into different territory.
Today, I am building bridges...knowing that I can fly...dream...create...And even though I may fear a fall, my bridges of faith allow me to leap....allow me to learn to fly forward toward my dreams.
Artfully Yours,
Pattie

PS: Today, can you build a bridge of faith that will allow you to leap into one of your dreams?

gentle motion....

forward...
backward...
side to side...
gentle motion
leading me
to myself.

Today, I gently feel the swaying motion...the swinging...the right/left..the good/bad...the in/out.
Today, I gently feel the two sides...my heart in the middle. Gently I feel the motions...gently I try to find the balance...the middle...looking and watching the movements...the whispers...the internal message.
Today, I gently feel the swaying motion...forward...backward...side to side...circular motions...
opening up to energy...love...creativity...joy...happiness.
Today, I gently feel the motion as I step back into my routine...step back into my self...my thoughts...allowing me to see and understand my self better...allowing me to see new dreams.
Today, I gently feel the swaying motion.
Artfully Yours,
Pattie

Today, I take an honest look...at my role without judgment...looking at my behavior...looking at my patterns...
Today, I take an honest look...at my truth...openly connecting with words...actions...emotions.
Both positive and negative...flaws and dreams.
Today, I take an honest look....to discover and see more of my true self.

As I reflect on this week I am very aware of re-emerging....of slowly allowing myself to remember what it feels like to float ...to flow...to release.
As I reflect on this week I am very aware of trying to stay centered...truthful...and open to myself ...to my thoughts...to my center.
