Altar your Home!

When I was little I would gather all of my stuffed animals and dolls on my bed before I would go to sleep at night. 

I would have to kiss each and every single one good night before I could even think of sleeping! 

I was a great Mom :) 

I made sure that Mr. Snail was laying next to Ramona bc they were best friends. Howie, my preemie Cabbage Patch was closest to me bc he was the youngest and, Diana cried during the night so my hand Had to be touching hers when we both went to sleep...

Each doll had a story. 
No one else knew the story.
But...

I did!

Nothing has changed. 

Every picture frame, candle holder, kitchen garbage can, coffee table, comforter, dish, saucer, broom... 
has a story that only I know.

IKEA had a commercial a couple of years ago. It was a sad story of a single broken lamp with a spotlight on it. Sad music was playing and the broken lamp was at the curb, ready to be taken by the garbage man :( To make matters worse the little lamp was getting RAINED ON!!! Then the music stops and the announcer says, "Get over it, it's just a lamp! Brand new lamps starting at $9.99."

Record Scratch!!!! I would have KEPT that lamp for years! "Um, I'm not Throwing this broken lamp out!!! The arm is broken but it Still works! Besides its my handy lamp that served me well for so long! I studied for my exams under it, I huddled over my journal while my friend, my lamp, gave me the gift of light! 

Or... those scissors that don't work anymore, but they Used to and I can't throw them out bc I got them in college and they are the Cutest pink! 

Or...that old teddy bear my 1st boyfriend gave me that is stained on his nose from my tears from clutching it during our break up."

The biggest ALTAR you create is your HOME.

Altars are created to tell the Universe what you want!
What message is your home telling the Universe you want more of? More broken lamps that will do for Now. That work well Enough?! More negative past energies that no longer serve you?!?!

Yikes!

We have roommates that take up more energy than our actual human roommates!

How about your bed that you sleep in every night and that you bought two ex-boyfriends ago... 
Your "roommates" speak to you every day!!!

Every time we enter our sacred place, our home, we are sent messages from the articles in our home. Make sure what they are saying to you is Loving, Encouraging and makes you feel Safe and Protected.   

Your home should remind you of how fun, cool, & spontaneous you are!

Your house should reflect the person you WANT to be!!! 

When were you your best self? 
-Have pictures of that time in your life on your walls. 

Fond memories should be on display! 
-Hang photos of people you love, and who you love who You Are when you hang out with them. 

Have things around your home that make you Laugh!

As I dust every item I ask myself, "What does this vase, painting, book... 
Make me feel or think of?"

If it has a bad memory or feeling attached to it it's GOT TO GO. If it has a positive feeling attached to it, it stays. 

Today, comb your sacred space to make sure that you are living with happy roommates :)

Especially, my King & Queens who live in NYC, where space is limited. Follow through with your Urge to Purge!!! 
Don't just clean around the articles in your life, Review them! 
Hold every item in your home & let it speak to you: Positive or Negative Energy??? 
What does this statue make you think of? 
Take inventory. 
Keep only the things that empower you & discard those that dis empower you! 

Donate the items that no longer serve you. You will be giving charity to others and yourself!

Now go and throw out that broken soap dish that no one sees but every time you wash your hands you notice the crack. 
Throw it out!!! :)))
