Making Room

A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.
Benjamin Franklin

Yup... Another entry of me just chatting with you. Little Ms. Research everything is on a short break.

Sooooo.... Ummmmm. I've noticed that when my home is not in order I cannot focus very well. Although I go through my day interacting with my clients, taking care of business or simply hanging with friends there is always this little nagging feeling that I hadn't put my finger on. Ahhh Haaaaaaa. Disorganization leaves me feeling unsettled. If you are anything like me, your home is very important to you. I strive to make my place a haven of safety, comfort and inspiration. 

Today I walked into my place and there were things on my favorite table other than fresh flowers and my favorite cookbooks. I love cooking and when I went into my kitchen I wasn't inspired to be creative with breakfast because my dishes weren't put away and my sink had traces of yesterday's meals. My big comfy white couch wasn't inviting because in all of my frenzy I washed clothes after my bedtime and left clean laundry on it. I walked into my bathroom and didn't want to take an olive oil bath although I've run about 20 miles in the last week. Even my bedroom that I call the Canary Lounge (hahahahaha) was out of order. My instruments are there and I wasn't inspired to sing. So where did I end up? On my computer. I mean it's good because it led me to write you this letter, but I really want to cook or write music and I just can't right now. 

I think it is safe to say that life is better when things are in order. That doesn't mean perfection. It doesn't mean you shouldn't leave a trail of clothes heading to your bedroom just because you feel like it. It just means it is a nice feeling to walk into a clean home. If your space is clear it frees up room in your mind and spirit to attract prosperity, happiness, fulfillment, love and success. I am challenging myself to detox my life. Each day I will focus on clearing all of my spaces. I will tap into my home, my relationships, my body and my mind. May I share my journey with you? Will you share yours with me?
