she knew...

 

there are moments in the day when I feel them with me...by my side...and it is at that moment when I feel their hearts close to mine...whispering I LOVE YOU.

peace...

 

digging in the earth and watching as the flowers grew she felt at peace...she felt it more often now...allowing her to realize that she was growing too.

spirit...

 

lightly fluttering around me I feel their presence....they watch over me and keep me safe...gently I reach out to touch them...they are just beyond my reach...my heart knows they are there...

always connected...

 

No matter what....there will always be a connection between people and emotions...there is nothing that can change that connection unless you let it...some connections are felt and not seen...some connections are seen and not felt...some connections are both...the choice is yours.

 

What connection do you feel today?

flourish...

 

I am in the garden of my life....growing...dreaming...believing...trusting...loved...happy...knowing in my heart that this is how I flourish...

What thoughts help you to flourish?

dream...

 

there they are...my dreams...the ones I pushed back...pushed aside...gave up on as I concentrated on everyone but myself...

there they are...my dreams...reappearing as I reawaken.

 

What are your dreams for yourself?

growth...

 

 

there are times when you can feel your growth...big and bold...shooting upward.

 

there are times when it whispers a softness of newness...

 

there are times when you are not even aware of your growth...

 

BUT...you are always growing.

 

 

What growth are you aware of today?

celebrate YOU...

 

There is that moment...when you know...when you feel your life force expanding and rising...and at that moment you must celebrate who you are...what you do...your gifts...your beauty...celebrate love, with affection, affirmation, validation for all of your abundance...Celebrate YOU! 

What can you celebrate about yourself today?

Connect the dots...

 

The message came across my email..."connect the dots"...I am aware to connect the past with the present ...aware that all have made me the person that I am today...aware that my heart is full of gratitude for all that has transpired in my life...both the light and the dark...today, I connect all the dots and feel full...

 

What dots can you connect today?

Listen to the softness...

 

CHATTER...CHATTER...CHATTER...

 

STOP...Light a candle...BREATHE...LISTEN...

Listen to the softness...right below the surface...Fill yourself up with it and carry it throughout the day...

 

Can you hear the softness of your day?

new beginnings...

 

New beginnings...I often think of the sadness when it appears that things are ending...coming to a close...being finished...today, I am resting with that thought...I am seeing that often when things close you are open to starting a new beginning...that you have space that can be filled with all sorts of possibilities...and that those things that appear to be ending will stay in your heart as you move forward...

 

What new beginning can you be aware of today for yourself?

be...full of hope...

be full of hope...that is how it must begin...hold it in your heart...when you have hope you have faith...when you have faith you can see change...staying full of hope is your power when you feel you have none...

What do you need to be full of hope for today?

be...positive...

Sometimes life can seem messy...but rather than clinging to the negative I must see the positive...rather than holding onto an idea of what things should look like I must let go and accept things as there truly are...that messy can be beautiful too if I take a moment to breath in the beauty of it and be positive...

What do you need to be more positive about today?

flying lessons...

 

As I reflect on this week I feel a sense of knowing...knowing that I am learning my flying lessons...I am not repeating old patterns....I am moving forward with the love I receive...that heart beats will always exist regardless of time and space...that if you tuck the love away instead of the hurt you are learning your flying lesson...

 

What flying lesson are you aware of?

move forward...

 

Move forward...spread your wings...release what others' think of you...be dedicated to yourself by following your own heart...you are not leaving...rather you are consciously allowing yourself to move forward with gratitude in your heart for the love you once received...
How can you move forward today?

never broken...

 

There are bonds that time and space can never break...a joining of heart beats that will always exist...a birth that can never be broken regardless of whatever else may be going on...

 

What bond do you know that can never be broken?

choose love...you will survive...

 

There are going to be moments like these...where you have to tuck things into your heart to keep them safe...to keep yourself safe...but that is OK...You will survive...especially when you tuck the love away instead of the hurt....you've learned this lesson...and although it is hard right now...you know much more than you ever did before...choose love...you will survive...

 

Do you have something to tuck safely away will love in order to survive?

INGENUITY...

 

Monkey: INGENUITY...The situation calls for Adaptability and Innovation...

Today, I have been made aware to adjust...and then to adjust again...and know that there is nothing wrong with that. To know that if one direction does not work out I can stop...look...and listen in order to adjust my direction...and that by trusting myself everything will turn out just as it is suppose to as long as I listen to my heart..

How can you adjust today?

 

overcome obstacles...

 

This week I am using my Animal Power Oracle Cards for direction when I ask my morning question:

 

WHAT DO I NEED TO BE AWARE OF TODAY?

 

Today I drew the Elephant...RESOLVE You will OVERCOME ANY OBSTACLES...

 

I am aware that I place those obstacles in my own way...I have been shifting lately and allowing myself to listen to my heart and follow through...I have been busy creating for the first time (in years) every day...beyond my journal page...I have been following my path and my voice and I am not being stopped by the obstacles that I sometimes place in my way that I use as an excuse not to carry on...I am living my voice!

 

What obstacle can you overcome?

be...your own protector...

 

 

 

As I reflect on this week...I am aware that I am shifting and I am once again excited about the color of my world...I am hopeful because love surrounds me...I am paying attention and listening to my hearts stirrings in order to follow where the path is leading me with courage and strength...I am my own protector...I am surrounding myself with LOVE...I am surrounding myself with SUPPORT...I am surrounding myself with great STRENGTH...and I send it outward to the universe...

How was your week?
