Celebrating Heart .... word #41

This picture was taken our birthday in Feb. 2009....the celebrating began with a kiss... then we blow out the candles and the party begins......

this is my guy a year later in 2010......life had changed so quickly...but, we still Celebrated all our Blessings!!!

So, this year our birthdays were still celebrated...just a bit differently....I have been playing around with art journaling and this is what has emerged....
at the Center...always....GOD

we are all on different parts of the path to the center, but we are never forgotten..we are loved more than we could ever understand...

so, we keep on looking ....

and searching for answers......

but, as longas we BELIEVE and have faith that With God All Things Are Possible...

we will find what we are longing for.......GRACE ~♥~

Changing Heart...word #14 "Changing"

I have been very interested in Art Journaling lately....and one night last week,as I sat here looking through old magazines and tearing out articles I want to revisit...I noticed a strip of paper that had curled itself into sort of a heart shape... A flicker in my soul slowly grew into a flame, and before I knew it...I was tearing paper strips into hearts and swirls and cut certain words out of the magazines spread out before me. I put the words on a tray and started moving them around a bit...kinda like the magnetic words you can buy and put on your fridge to make sentences..anyway, some sort of pattern was emerging as my fingers moved the words around. It became a very meditative process...and creative, too!

I love to create "intuitively"...that is with no real plan, just kinda sorta of one....and I love it when I see the synchronicity and I smile and laugh out loud.."Ofcourse"!!! This happened with the title of of this post...I chose Changing Heart as the title due to the first picture ...then, I went back to my list of 365 words for this year( in my journal) and noticed that the next word after "Remember" ( title of my last post) was..."Changing". I wrote "changing" in my journal on Jan. 14th...and just today decided to continue with the next word on the list that is why I wrote day 14..reference to the 14th day of the new yr)...in other words, I chose the title BEFORE I knew the next word on my list was "Changing"...interesting.

Remembering Heart ...word #13

So, most mornings I wake up and wonder what my "word" for today will be.... Sometimes it comes quickly, and other times I will not know what it is til later in the day...

I am learning not to rush these things. Some of you know that I wrote down

and allowing it to settle in my heart...

I was going to try and make a "heart a day"..but, I decided not to put so much pressure on myself...I do journal a word a day tho...

My list so far is 1.Accepting Heart 2.Healing Heart. 3.Being Heart 4. In-to-Me -Se (Intimacy) Heart 5.Awakening Heart 6. Soul Heart (newly awakened) 7.Forever Heart 8.Struggling Heart

9. Heart Answers 10. Questioning Heart 11. Learning Heart 12. Listening Heart and todays heart is

Remembering Heart ....and I am so thankful that I have been blessed with such wonderful memories...

HEART HUGS,

PS...my last name means "SUN" in German..thus the reference to "BEAM"...I love hidden messages........

Soul Heart...Newly Awakened

This little faerie has been fluttering around in my heart for awhile..she yawned and stretched and slowly woke up....

She is a sweet lil thing..I put a hanger on her back...but, she would look great on the cover a journal, too...hmmmmm

I am glad I listened to her and let her out to play...I am Listening to that still small voice within me a bit more these days...

HEART HUGS,

Awakening Heart day 5

Interesting how this word came to me......it's the name of the shampoo I use.."Root Awakening"...( no affiliation!) I thought, huh....yeah, something is taking root in my heart...its like spring, ya know when the first little tender shoots of seeds start sprouting..and pushing their way thru the earth to burst into the light...but, before that can happen, the roots have to grow strong and deep..its what nourishes the tender new beginnings...i know, this sounds crazy being January and it is rainy and freezing cold outside...but, this is an inside job anyway....

yep..... the roots are growing and my heart is waking up and thawing out....I have been numb and frozen for quite awhile now...

BTW, I know I spelled Awakening incorrectly on my picture above..I will be correcting that soon!!!...see......I am Waking Up!!!

Heart Hugs,

Intimacy..Or..IN-TO-ME-SEE....day 4

Heart Bee-ing Day 3

Laying in bed this morning. I had the thought..I wonder what my "word" will be for today? I don't want to "force" it... "Let it Be"...I thought...hmmmm.."Be Still and know I Am God"....hmmm "Just Be"......"BE"......
so I got up and let Taj out to do his bizzness and my son was in the kitchen cooking breakfast and I noticed this...BEE!! how odd I thought to myself...I told my son that it will probably die anyway, as bees need to fly, and it was trapped between the window and the screen...Larry, (my son..) said that bees are usually hiberating now...and I said, yeah, I think the sun woke him up....now thats a thought..."wake up and fly!!!" Anyway, at first I was gonna spray it (ok, kill it!)..and then, after thinking about it for a moment, I decided to "Let it Be" ...

and sat down and enjoyed every bite of the yummy, coconut pancakes my son made...

Who am I meant to Be???......stay tuned..I am gonna find out!!!

Healing Heart..day 2

Above art by http://www.bonesigharts.com/ I love terris art!!

Today was a good day..I went to see Narnia with my grandaughters....one of the many lessons I heard and felt today was...."do not focus on what was taken away..rather, focus on what was given to you"......hmmm....maybe my word is "focus"???.....well, maybe, but, focusing on what has been given to me is very healing ......I am Truly Blessed......

HEART HUGS,

Heart Acceptance

This is a word that I am embracing today...I bought the wonderful piece of art above from Bone Sigh Arts

The word "ACCEPT" holds alot of power when you think about it...when you accept the realities of what is happening when your life spins out of control...you can finally release the pain and move forward..oh, i will probably slide back once inwhile...but..I really feel that I am in the Acceptance part of my life....with alot of help from Family , Friends and my Faith.

I will be putting this on my etsy soon. Every time the bell rings...well, you know the rest!!

I pray that I only have to learn the lessons one time tho!!

HEART HUGS,
