IT DOESN'T MATTER WHOM YOU LIVE WITH OR WHERE YOU MOVE FROM OR TO, YOU ALWAYS TAKE YOURSELF WITH YOU.  IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE, OR IF YOU'VE FORGOTTEN OR MISPLACED HER, THEN YOU'LL ALWAYS FEEL AS IF YOU DON'T BELONG. ANYWHERE

by Sarah Ban Breathnac in Moving On ,a lovely book I would recommend to anyone who is interested in homes

I believe with all my heart that the pursuit of domestic bliss is a spiritual path, a sacred endeavor, and more the spare bedroom covered to ceiling with clutter, than the road less traveled.  However, I've got to be honest with you before we begin.  The truth that a woman's home is the most accurate barometer of her emotional, physical, psychological, and spiritual well-being is as unsettling at times as it is reassuring.  Nonetheless, the home is the surest diagnostic laboratory I've seen for discovering the deepest longings of the feminine soul and understanding how much time, creative energy emotion and nurturing She needs to be restored. Part meditation, how-to-manual and memoir, Moving On is for anyone who has ever wanted to revamp her life and the space where she lives it.

Your threads always inspire my heart!

Thank you for being who you are, right where you are...

and expressing where your heart  is feeling like it is going  from here.

I love title of this thread, your thoughts, and you!!!

Love what you said about your home, and the compassion you are showing yourself ...

And love your intention for it all: I want to help her heal ,to feel loved so that when we walk in we are coming onto a peaceful ,loved space that gives us the feeling of a hug

I think sometimes (when life feels very hard) ...we overwhelm ourselves to the point... that it takes forever to begin something that was only hard in our thoughts.... and it creates unrest in our beautiful hearts.

As most know I just started my vacation. It isn't about jumping around... saying I Am So Happy, or  saying that I am not. It is a time to get my 'own house in order'  literally and beyond(:

I am so not perfect, though my joy comes from focusing on keeping it very simple:

This is the only moment I have, what is most valuable to me?

I use this question, to get in touch with me. 

If I try to relate to others first, I have nothing that is me...

By starting there, I can 'be' anywhere, and this allows me to care for others in the way my heart feels like it was born to feel.

Most of us who are mostly the one responsible for the upkeep of our home, can relate to times when our home-care was not the top priority. I am so glad that my hubby isn't the kind of guy who pointed/points it out... lol

I will share more...

•  ~

 though right now... I just want to say I feel so much positive energy by engaging in this thread...  While I always get something so nourishing from your authenticity... this path of yours is uniquely and beautifully your own. 

Again though  thank you for your inspiration!

&

Again though  thank you for being you!

 love selfcare

(aka Always Wonderful Possibilities)

affirmation #37973

I pump myself full of self-love whenever I am at home, and wish to do something deeply positive with my time. If the only thing I do with my time and energy, is run self love through my own energy field, I will have done a great deed for the human realm.

OMG  I love this thread it really resonates with me for it reflects my journey.  At one time not so very long ago, I was so troubled regarding health issues, uncertainty with employment, family issues, you name it. Not only was I suffering physically and emotionally the condition of my home reflected my turmoil. For "Me" it has been a journey of self discovery, awareness, grace, love and gratitude that has brought me out of the dark into the magnificent light of LOVE.

When I reflect on what has changed, quite simply it has been "Me" as a direct result my home is now my haven, my paradise for it is filled with the Love and joy that embodies "Me". It still has all the same things basically, just a couple of new things, cushions and pillows for the table and chair set on my front porch that perfectly match the wreath on my door.  Now I make time to care for "Me" lovingly. I laugh when I think recently I was outside doing yard work, "ME". I would never have done something like that previously but I found great satisfaction and joy in cutting back areas that were overgrown making it beautiful and pleasant for my eyes to see. One of the things that everyone sees when they come into my home is a plaque that says "I Love You More", it makes everyone smile, me too, because my home now truly reflects "Me" it is filled with positive energy, peace, harmony and above all the LOVE that I feel for myself and everybody.

Yes, I consider it as my safe haven. 

Nothing is better than going home to family and eating good food and relaxing.
