 The visions and dreams of my intuitive heart softly take shape when I surrender them to a higher power. When I picture them, the images bring a smile to my face, lighting my eyes with the sparkle of joy. Letting go, my heart recaptures the glow. In gratitude, I behold the beauty given to me. ~ ATB

Anticipation fuels my day, 
as I think about events to come. 
The future's not ours to see?
Perhaps our hearts know more than we think.
Perhaps the anticipation vibration 
will prepare me for the tsunami wave.
Like a good scout,
may I be ready for whatever comes...
riding the wave in grace
and sunlit serenity. ~ ATB

Angel in my Inbox: 
A Henry Reed mandala...

  a purple delight of green healing power

energizes my day, today. 

 Angel effects come in many symbols, 

appear in a variety of ways, 

offering transformational tools

to inspire my creativity.

Mandala art is something 

I may reflect on, or draw on my own.

What beauty is in the circle 

that I would paint today?

SUMMERTIME FUN 

is when I allow myself to take a whimsical journey of spirit, with all the curiosity of the child that resides in me, the essence of playfulness. When I look at life from the vantage point of this creative center, I can see wonder and beauty all around me. Joy comes to me. I en-JOY the season of summer...keeping its pathways in my heart. ~ ATB

Something is trying to get my attention. Someone has good news to tell. Why am I so worked up about it? If I listen, with all of my heart, I'll know that all is well. ~ ATB

Like a white stenciled design on a cake, I can mentally stencil an image of serenity above the perplexity running in the background of my mind. Holding that peaceful image in my heart, I relax into the knowing that this beautiful complexity I sense swirling below, is fashioning beautifully and naturally, the colors of my creativity ~ ATB

Basking in the glow of heart-centered love,
I discover that the flow I'm seeking 
comes to me more easily, 
as easily as the inspiration of each breath.
Holding that warmth and tenderness 
becomes naturally more a part of me. 
With curiosity and compassion, I venture forth...
grateful for this inward journey to spirit,
appreciating the beauty before me. ~ ATB

So much for HeART connections! Zowie! Zing...go the strings of my heart... spinning sounds of music, listening with ears of angels, lighting rainbows of peace, humming the song of the universe, visioning an aurora of harmony around the planet, dancing with the Lord of the Dance, spiraling healing dreams of All Things Beautiful. ~ ATB

The Daily Mandala: August 19, 2011

Being a bright light to the world is possible with the attitude of playfulness that resides along with creativity at the HeART of our soul. Living creatively is an ART, with our HEART at the HeART of it. With our HEART ART we bring our life forward. We step onto the stage, allowing the spotlight to shine on us, lighting our unique expression. We become visible to our audience, whose hearts connect with our art, our life story, our Heart Art, our heart. ~ ATB

My midsummer midnight star search begins, as the intensity of the magi's quest in midwinter stumbles across the periphery of my mind in midsummer. The juxtaposition of the vivid images of the Christmas season with the solar power of summer light reminds me to put the Christ in every season of my life...expanding the beauty of that light, love and peace beyond measure. ~ ATB

 Listening...

to the still small voice broadcasting within...

is a skill to practice over a lifetime.

Understanding the knowing,

reverberating heartstrings,

tuning to pathways,

catching the orchestral vision,

playing the song meant to be heard.

Enlightened, lightened, brightened, I relax into the space between, where my brush strokes have taken me. It's a beautiful place, this space. It's my space, my place. Me. ~ ATB

Pink dolphins dip into the pool of my dreams, nudging me to open up my heart and freely, serenely, safely float among the fragrant water blossoms...diving playfully  now and then, to discover the treasures beneath the waves. ~ ATB

The Daily Mandala: August 14, 2011

 Confusion about goals comes when I feel wavering about them. Even though I think I have the dream in sight, I might be holding the vision on spindly, wobbly legs. I realize that I must  right the easel of this art project of mine. Stand it up before me, get out the paint brushes, and view the foundation dream that remains strong in the back of my mind. Bring it to the forefront of the picture; and then, paint with abandon. ~ ATB

The Daily Mandala: August 13, 2011

Swirly summer venues
become stages of my life...
revolving, evolving, solving the mystery
that intrigues me. It's a magical blend, 
as in a dream, yet painted on the canvas 
of my heart, the layers of color create 
an ever more beautiful scene. 
I'm happy when I gaze at this collage 
of mine. The complexity, diversity, 
richly defines me now. Discovery: 
I wouldn't have it any other way. ~ ATB

The Daily Mandala: August 12, 2011

Going backwards to go forwards is hard for me to grasp at times. I really feel skewed when in a stalling mode. Yet, it's at times like these that I know I need to lighten up, let my light shine through the skewness. Have a little fun with the interesting stuff that's going on in my life. Enjoy the playfulness of the universe, the angels, knowing that God has the best intentions for me, and that all will align in divine order...in patience and in love. ~ ATB

On a clear day I can see forever in my dreams. Today, may the skies clear, may the sunlight brighten the far corners of the landscape, may calm breezes blow over my inner sea of possibilities. May I become a light beacon for those who share  the voyage with me. May we  together be peaceful points of light... bringing love, joy, hope and bright blessings for a beautiful tomorrow. ~ ATB

 Today I rediscover the joy of brainstorming with kindred spirits. Around the table, our ideas and insights energize us and build upon each other, layer by layer. A fascinating new realm comes into view that, alone, we would not have noticed. Our unity of thought becomes the pattern for infinite possibilities. ~ ATB

With a warm and thankful heart, I sense my creative spirit glowing and growing with each new day's experiences. As I open my heart, tuning in to the messages all around me (if I will but see, hear, and feel the vision being shown me), my life becomes a fascinating, magical, whimsical adventure. It is at those times that I love being me. Then, like Peter Pan, I find myself shouting, "I've gotta crow!" ~ ATB

 Inch worm...measuring the universe...reminds me that often I must go backward to go forward, reach tentatively yet bravely off the precipice to find the joyful path to swing upon to achieve my goals, my dreams. I may skirt around them, but with patience and persistence I will find the resources, powering up spirit to energize my steps and reach my destination. ~ ATB

The Daily Mandala: August 5, 2011

 Out on a limb, out of my comfort zone, I keep on keeping on because of believing in something so strongly. I find myself compelled to take a risk. I may fall flat on my face. I may feel totally out of my element and out of coherence. Yet, I know the pieces will fall into place; and a beautiful pattern will take shape. I'll emerge whole once again. For I know that without risk, there is no faith. ~ ATB

 Today I listen from my heart. I'm tuned in, awake, aware. The vibrancy of the life force within energizes and heals any fractures of spirit I may feel. All is well and beautiful with my soul. I discover that I can take this heart-centered awareness and express it out into the world. And, so I do. ~ ATB

 Reflections on the resonance of renewal surprise me with their insistence. Like a song playing constantly in the background of my mind, these insights flicker and then fire up again. "Get on with the show," the song bursts seem to say. "You've found your true colors. Enjoy!" ~ ATB
