Reflection Friday!

Another week has past! Why is it that every week seems to go by faster and faster?? So as I reflect on the lessons of my soul this week, I have been aware of so much! First I realize that you must have a little darkness to see all the light that surrounds you! Not that you should dwell in the darkness, just that you should know that balance of it, and what it has to say to you. I also, am so aware, especially today, of when you give of yourself to a cause for someone else, that you end up helping yourself almost more than you helped the other person and their cause. For once you reach out with the purest of intentions, you then find what strength and love you have within you for humanity and for yourself. So today, when reflecting, I honor my path...I continue to walk down it, sometimes skipping, sometimes dancing, sometimes at a very slow crawl...but none the less I continue to do what it is that my heart sings to do! Today, I am reaching up to the stars above me...I am aiming high and I am feeling the balance of the universe and its creative purpose for me! And that is my wish for you today...No matter if you are doing the slow crawl, or you are skipping, or dancing...continue down your path...aim high! Cause you know what they say: Shoot for the moon, you just might find yourself falling amongst the stars! Here is to finding our hearts and our stars in perfect balance!

Creativity

Today is a day of creativity! It is an amazing thing once you clear out some clutter, both from your space and your mind, what you can come up with! Today is such a day! Visions of projects, and thoughts, and dreams dance in my head with wild abandon! Today, I am surrounded with such creative energy that it swirls and shows me colors, and designs and love! Today, is a day of creativity for both my mind and my spirit! I am picking up brushes and pens, and paper and canvas!! I am open to the magic that is taking place. Today is a brilliant day of the way things work for me...I am so aware of the fact that sometimes you just need to get rid of some of your dust bunnies in order to feel the joy of the creative process. So that is my wish for all who come here today...That you feel the wonderful joy in the creative force within you. Do not fear the dust bunnies...just wipe them away and then let all the positive energy surround you...Take the process slowly and then dance with your creativity to a beat that is all your own.

Hope!

Today has been a day of clearing out the studio, so that I can bring a bigger work table in here for some of the projects that I am working on. So it has been a day of looking at different things I have collected and sorting thru them to either keep them or throw them out. Which caused me to reflect on some of the things I have personally kept. Some beliefs that no longer suit me that needed to be shed, so it was a sort of cleaning of the soul also. Today, as I changed things around both internally and externally I found a great smile coming across my face, and that smile was fueled with HOPE! How like a butterfly who was once a caterpillar I am becoming!(I know others were having a butterfly day also!) I was reminded of a book: HOPE FOR THE FLOWERS by Trina Paulus, which was given to me in the late 70's by a good friend. It is a wonderful little book about becoming what you were meant to be. It is filled with a great deal of HOPE! So that would be my wish for you today...Fill yourself with hope...Fill yourself with the hope that you can unclutter your path and that by changing and rearranging you will be able to FEEL the HOPE!

Vision

Today I have been very aware that I MUST keep my vision! That by feeling my inner energy I then see my truths. That when I see my truths, all my directions are open to me. There is not a single thing that can not be reached! And that all those directions eventually will come together onto one path. After I did this affirmation page I noticed that the design resembled a watch...This is a sign for me! It reminds me NOT to watch for the outcome of things. By putting to much importance on the outcome I do not stay in the present. And it is here and now that needs to be attended to. So, that would also be my wish for all who enter here today! Be aware of your vision, pay attention to your inner energy, and BELIEVE that ll your directions will lead you to a path of your own happiness. Let today, be a day of VISION.

Grateful

It has taken me all day to get to this affirmation..I just could not make one this morning, for lots of reasons, mostly it was just a little "down" day! But, it got better this afternoon! It was better because the sound of the rain became soothing to me, Because I let myself take a well deserved nap, because I heard the birds singing after the rain...and BECAUSE there are those people out there who support what I do and believe in me, even when I am not totally believing in my self!
And with the simplest stroke of the keyboard, they can bring me back! Back to my center, back to my creative, back to my cute! So today, or rather this evening, it is a time of being grateful!
And I am, and I know that my outside has nothing to do with my inner spirit...And that my heart is protected on days like today, by people I love! So that is my wish for you today, that if the day is starting out in a less than positive way, reach out to someone who you know protects your heart, and it will quickly turn around for you, just the way mine did!
Artfully Yours,
Pattie

Reflection Friday

Today as I reflect on this past week I notice a softness to myself..I notice that with all my colors and dreams that I need this softness in order to continue on my path. Sometimes I think that perhaps I have taken on to much, have nothing of importance to say or do, and then that is where the softness must come in. Gently I know that by listening to my inner spirit and walking with it, I can dance and sing with my truest voice. By moving from within, I can celebrate all that I have to offer. Even if I am just offering it to myself. The gift of creativity that I feel in my core is something that I want to share.(And I want to thank all who share their core with me! ) I hope with all my heart that it gives people something to hold on to the way it does for me. That their heart smiles a little, or is touched in some sort of way to bring them into their own inner spirit. My life is full with wonderment and love. So that is my wish for all who come to view today, that you feel the softness of yourself, that you allow that softness to over take you in moments where you doubt yourself, or your creativity. All of us are connected in such a spiritual way, that when we stand together we are a powerful force! BELIEVE!

Celebration!

Today, after talking with a good friend, I celebrate!! I celebrate who I am and the path that I am heading down! I celebrate my standing stead fast even though at times it may be hard! I celebrate my colors, my thoughts, my art with a standing ovation today! I celebrate the fact that I am not allowing the fear to overtake me this time around! I celebrate my voice, my love and my friends! Today, is a day of complete celebration for what I do! So all the dear souls that enter here today, that is my wish for you!! That you CELEBRATE yourself for all the wonderful things that you do..that you celebrate the love that you give out every day, and that you do so without fear. That we continue to grow and fly together and reach out beyond our own circle...
I celebrate YOU....and I celebrate ME!

Movement

Today is one of those days in the studio where I am not quite completing anything, but rather, I am moving from one to another of the different projects that I am working on. I am sharing my space today, and I am very aware of the different energy that surrounds me! So, I am staying focused by being aware of the movement! By watching as my hands pick up certain pens to use, and some are better than others...This pen for this page was almost out of ink!! I am aware of the way the paint brushes feel in my hand, and the pencil strokes...quick and flowing. I look inward today and feel a certain JOY that I have so many things to do, a touch of fear is there also, but today I continue to move forward. Everything that I am doing is because it feels RIGHT to me...it feels as if it belongs along side me on this path. So, today, although this is the only piece that was completed, I continue with my movement, I continue to honor my heart, I continue to BELIEVE! So that is my wish for you also today...Even if your space is small and you have to share it with others, continue to move...continue to be aware of your energy..continue to allow yourself the honor of growth. Continue to move from within!

A day of Love

Today I have been pleasantly aware of the fact that any negative thoughts I am having, or trouble that I feel is brewing within my space is really just a distraction. A distraction that keeps me from moving forward on my path, a distraction that keeps me stuck in one place for longer than I need be. Today, I am aware of the fact that if I keep focused on the LOVE...The inner core of my direction, my designs, my song, my loves, then I can walk, dance and sing freer than I have ever done before! So that is my wish for you, that even though it is impossible not to have some negative thoughts or events happen in your life, keep your focus on the LOVE . The love of yourself, the love of your creativity, the love of others...the rest is just a distraction.

Trusting...

Today has been one of those days where I bounce from one thing to another, because....
Well, I think it is because I just can't seem to FINISH anything. Several things play through my head when I say that.. and most of them just come from the FEAR place...So today, I have realized that I just need to trust my life! I just need to trust that the leaf of my creativity is blowing out there in the wind and will land on a soft pink pillow where it will be safe and sound once again! So that is my wish for all who enter here today.Trust that even on a day when you don't seem quite your creative self, when you are feeling less than who you know yourself to be, TRUST that you will land on a safe soft spot of comfort...and tomorrow you will begin again.
Artfully Yours,

Reflection

Today has been a day!! I have been up and down and all over the board with emotions...Once I settled down (after a nice nap!!) I know that looking over the week I must see and feel with my heart, and not be afraid to expose it, even when it is raw with emotion...I also know that when exposing I learn more about myself and get an exchange of ideas that perhaps I hadn't looked at...Today, I see myself a little clearer and know that I still have miles to go on this path...I am getting closer to my core one step, one moment at a time. Today, my heart is open and it cries and laughs with me. So that is my wish for all who enter here...that even when they feel a sense of sadness around them...look to see where it is coming from..look for someone you can share that with and perhaps see it from a different view...look and know that it is only a temporary thing and that you are strong.
