simplicity

It seems every weekend I pick a new purification project. Last weekend it was my closet, today I am doing the rest. It is amazing how much stuff one can accumulate. Some people use 'stuff' to fill every nook and cranny, perhaps keeping them company so that they don't feel lonely. Some are just unbalanced, and use 'stuff' as a way to fill the hole inside of them that of course, will never be filled in that way. I actually don't have very much 'stuff' anymore, but even what I have feels like too much and so I am pairing away and becoming light. Everything around me should be a direct reflection of me, the current me, the true me, the real me. I need space and air to breathe in order to create. Empty the cup so I can fill it up with new inspirations and fill my world with beauty *and* usefulness. I think it is so important to be very conscious of your world... to live deliberately! So I arranged an art space and lined up my paints, cleaned out my brushes, lined up blank canvases white with possibilities. I spray painted an ugly old shelf gold to fill with my essential oils and empty blue glass bottles ready for making blends. Making sacred space and giving respect for the things that give me joy, it felt very simple but the symbolism profound.

(this is a pic of a spa i thought was amazing! my laptop is filled with random pics of inspiration. Love the air and light here and of course the plants.)
