re-connecting to love...

committing to
intimacy...
thoughts...
support...
trust...
to re-connect
to love.

Today, I am aware that I have been re-connecting to love...seeing and being part of the hopes...
joys...and struggles of myself and those around me.
By re-connecting to love I am finding a better understanding...a better way to support each other...a better trust...a better communication...and a deeper commitment to those things.
Today, I am aware that I have been re-connecting to love...allowing more intimacy...deeper thoughts...bigger dreams...and more joy.
Today, as I continue to reconnect to love, I am finding loving ties that are becoming strong once again.
Artfully Yours,
Pattie

freedom...A reflection

spreading my wings...
gently moving to
freedom...
past the bars of my
own making.

Today, I am aware of freedom...of releasing myself from the cage I sometimes lock myself in...
Today, I am aware of freedom...of opening my wings knowing I can fly into an open sky of dreams...
Today, I am aware of freedom...freedom from the bars I place around myself...my heart...my creativity...my love
Today, I am aware of freedom...the freedom to fly into the unknown with grace...with understanding that the door to this cage has always been open, I just did not see that...
Today, I am aware of freedom...I spread my wings...moving gently...feeling free.

As I reflect on this week I am aware that I have been searching and answering questions for myself as I sat on the cusp of the eye of the storm...I am aware that I have been taking control of my personal power...seeing things from a different perspective...owning that which belongs only to ME...and knowing fully that all my paths have led me here...here to where at this moment I fly past the bars of the cage of my own making...
Artfully Yours,
Pattie

paths...

different paths of life that have all led me to NOW....

Today, I am aware of paths...the different paths my life has taken...Some lined with pebbles...begging me to STOP...TURN BACK...DO NOT PROCEED! Some lined with a softness of feathers...where I float in COMFORT AND PEACE...Others lined with lessons during a series of UPS AND DOWNS...while still others have been continuously lined with LOVE.
Today, I am aware of paths...the different paths my life has taken...all which have directed me to NOW...all which have made me the person that I am today...all that remind me of things that can be accomplished...lessons that have been learned...and dreams that are yet to be realized...
Today, I am aware of paths...the different paths my life has taken...and I honor each one of those paths...I would not change a thing...I value the lessons...the love...knowing that each path has led me here...to who I am NOW at this very moment.
Artfully Yours,
Pattie

PS: How can you honor each path that you have traveled...each path that has brought you to the You that you are NOW?

projections...

owning my own projections of
expectations...
desires...
and
judgments.

Today, I am aware of projections....projections that I make in my own mind...my own pictures,
my own movie...my own visions.
Today, I am aware of projections...and how I see things...feel things...that are both disturbing and comforting.
Today, I am aware of projections...I am conscious today to not get caught up in the swirls of
expectations...desires...and judgments...
Today, I am aware of projections...I look closer to take my own responsibilities and to own that which belong only to me.
Artfully Yours,
Pattie

PS: How can you own your own projections today?

difference...

there are...
birds that
can swim...
and
fish that
can fly.

Today, I am aware of difference...the idea that birds swim and fish fly...an old proverb...which simply means to me that I can look at things differently....that I can carry on doing things in quite a different way then I have been.
Today, I am aware of difference...that sometimes I hold on to the past ways of relating to many things out of habit...fear...or not making a conscious choice...that I don't see the blessings in the here and now...and the difference I can make by choosing to swim or fly...
Today, I am aware of difference...and how if I allow myself to taste of the pleasures that are offered to me I can release the blueprints of my thinking...
Today, I am aware of difference...I take a deep breath...I allow myself to swim when I think I should fly....and fly when I think I should swim...and to get caught up in the difference.
Artfully Yours,
Pattie

PS: What can you do today, to swim when you think you should fly....or fly when you think you should swim?

eye of the storm...

finding...
peace...
empowerment...
in the
eye
of the storm.


Today, I am aware of being in the eye of the storm....I have been sitting on the edge of it for quite some time...but here there is a quiet...a time to figure things out...
Today, I am aware of being in the eye of the storm....where I am saying..."enough is enough"...
where I am aware that I must do something...I must reach out and hold true to myself...my dreams...my values....and even if what I choose to do turns out to be a mistake, at least I am throwing off the restrictions that appear to be limiting me...holding me in a pattern...taking away some of my energy.
Today, I am aware of being in the eye of the storm....where there is a quiet understanding with myself....where I am feeling that I will allow myself to shatter old patterns and limitations...so that I can see the amazing vitality and empowerment that is before me.
Today, I am aware of being in the eye of the storm....and I feel at peace.
Artfully Yours,
Pattie
