what would it feel like?

Ask and it shall be given. Seek and you will find.

Are you a dreamer...unrealistic...pollyanna...pie in the sky?  What would it feel like to have exactly what you wanted?  What would it feel like to have the house of your dreams, extra money in your pocket, your ideal health, your soulmate, a life that fits you?  And why do we settle for less?  What are we waiting for if it isn't now?  Why do we easily believe that life is a challenge and find it a challenge to believe that it could be easy?  Does this at all shape how we perceive our world?  Albert Einstein said one of the most important questions we have to answer in our lifetime is whether or not we believe this to be a friendly Universe. 

How is it for you? 

As a child, one thing I had looked forever for was a full conch shell on the beach.  Growing up on the Great Lakes, I always thought I would find one...never realizing that it was nearly impossible.  But dreams, even small ones can actualize...it may take time...you have to keep looking.  I found one just a short time ago in Bethany Beach, Delaware while walking with my friend, Susan.  She exclaimed, "See!  It took a hurricane, but you got your whole conch shell!"  It is a treasured item in my room...a reminder to stay focused on my dreams...keep searching for that treasure.  It is there for all of us every single day if we are willing to seek. 

What treasure are you seeking?

Abraham Hicks-What Would it Feel Like?



make your home sensual

All evidence of truth comes only from the senses.

Friedrich Nietzsche, 19th century German philosopher

We spend a lot of time and money on our homes...making sure they have the right look and, yes, I must confess...in the mad pursuit of keeping up with the Joneses. But how does our home feel? Ilse Crawford's book, The Sensual Home, explores this notion...that our homes should support our inner as well as outer life.

The smells, the sounds, the feel, the tastes within, and the visual space we create. Hers is a challenge to create harmony in your home by surrounding yourself with those things that connect with your spirit of being rather than what is trendy. It is an invitation to explore who we are in our outer surroundings. Can you imagine how we would be nourished and how others would feel to enter our space if it authentically represented us? Imagine if we explored our inner urgings to create something unique and magnificient? Today, I invite you to the ancient ritual of creating home...making room for the amazing creation that YOU ARE! Set aside the magazines for just a moment...what is it that inspires you? What colors catch your breath? What could you cook tonight that would fill your home with amazing aromas? Make time for love, laughter and light...bring your spirit into this world!
