Last night, I could just picture her. This 12 year old girl, heels firmly dug in, arms folded across chest, bottom lip tightened, and a look in her eyes that piercingly said, “You can’t make me!” I know this girl. She lives within. She proudly heads up the Department of Resistance and Internal Struggle. She …
Today I rest in some newly created space. I take a moment to savour my progress, which has shown up in all different forms lately. The Universe sure does GREAT work! How about you? Where in life are you noticing new space? Feels wonderful, yes? P.S. My kitchen junk drawer is staring at me. Soon, my friend. Your time is …
Today’s creating space was perhaps the most important so far. I made a decision to free time in my life for greater wellness and increased energy. To pursue a simpler life. I’ve come to know at a deep level, this is something I am to master. I mean really embody at every level. Body. Mind. Heart. Soul. This is …
This morning I faxed off the realtor listing for an investment property that we’re selling. It’s had no end of problems, so we are getting rid of it. Is it the perfect time to sell given a depressed market? Actually yes. Because the energetic cost on us as owners is far greater than the financial loss we’ll incur. …
Wow… half way there. (And part of me screams, and so much still to declutter!) Do you feel the same way? Don’t worry, 15 days still remain. AND I’m so clear that the conversation of creating space has just begun. If it takes me a year to get organized with consistent baby steps each day, …
Remember when I mentioned to look for what is ready to leave you? Well, we didn’t need to look far. At the start of this decluttering journey our washer squealed its last spin cycle. (Correction: I’m not actually sure it spun at all on its last trip, perhaps ‘smoke’ is a better word.) And then this past …
Today I’m filling my car with things to take to their respective homes: recycling, goodwill, and a second hand store. This frees me of the piles I’ve been stacking in corners of my home. We’re only 13 days in but I’m already feeling like this mission of creating space is becoming a way of life. …
I love that the weather has warmed so I can get outside to enjoy the snow. Today’s brisk morning walk was a good decluttering of the mind. I love hearing the crunch underneath my feet and feeling the fresh new air in my lungs. Somehow I am more inspired. Mother Nature has that effect on me. I’m turning …
So today’s creating space isn’t the most profound or exciting, but oh so necessary. We noticed it on the weekend when we were preparing dinner. An old frying pan whose teflon coating had long abandoned it. Yet lo and behold, it found its way back into our cupboard. When I saw it today, I thought, …
Today, Hanna helped created the space in our home. She made me close my eyes, took my hand and guided me to her bedroom. When I opened my eyes, I saw a nice, tidy room. Beautiful. But something was missing. “Where’s your lamp?” “Well, mom, I put that big night light away. I’m not going …
Today, I took my books to my fabulous accountant. DONE! Sitting in my home office tonight, I love how much more spacious it feels. This calls for a celebration. So, with glass of wine in hand, I pause. I celebrate. I soak in this juicy win. And this curious eager voice inside is bouncing up and down asking…. …
Structure — it’s the thing many people, especially creative beings, resist. And yet it’s so important in focusing our efforts. Today I used a lot of structure to cruise through 12 months of bookkeeping for my business. Amazing! Here’s what I did: 1. I removed all distractions like email, TV, Facebook and even asked for the support of my family to allow …
