simple flight...a reflection

taking control of my personal power...

Today, I am aware of simple flight...a flight that is allowing me to own my emotions...to acknowledge them...to give name to them...to express them...all the while allowing me to start a simple flight forward.
Today, I am aware of simple flight...taking control of my personal power by being able to acknowledge the essence of my emotions allowing me to take flight.

As I reflect on this week I can NOW see clearly that my emotions have been weaved into cocoons that I am slowly unraveling...that I have been filling space with both the things that nourish me and that serve me no purpose...I have been asking for inner guidance to sort through and weed out...Allowing me to weave a dream catcher to see the rich details and brilliant colors that shine around me as I move closer to myself and my truth...my happiness...allowing me to take a simple flight without fear.

know peace...

kNOW!

Every year I pick a word to focus on and this year I picked the word KNOW....because I need to be aware of what I my heart knows...but also because the word NOW is in this word...and I need to stay present in the NOW of my knowing....

Webster defines KNOW as:
1 a (1) : to perceive directly : have direct cognition of (2) : to have understanding of ing oneself> (3) : to recognize the nature of : discern b (1) : to recognize as being the same as something previously known (2) : to be acquainted or familiar with (3) : to have experience of
2 a : to be aware of the truth or factuality of : be convinced or certain of b : to have a practical understanding of s how to write>

and NOW as:
1 a : at the present time or moment b : in the time immediately before the present c : in the time immediately to follow : forthwith

So it feels like the perfect word for the year for me....

Pattie
