Everything in our day to day can be viewed as either the mundane and trivial, or, the magical and miraculous.
A few good days at the beach with one of my badass girlfriends has released a greater level of freedom within me to simply be myself and allow that self to be seen and known.
Bring an only child and unafraid of being a “loner,” I realize I’ve held many of my friends at a distance for some strange fear of being known and therefore being unlovable. (I apologize for this, y’all) ♥️ Now as I have desired deeper relationships (yep, that was certainly on the goals list this year), to actually do the work of such has, as I said, been very freeing, and wonderfully delightful.
Consistently be a work in progress. I figure, if we are still here, there’s something more to learn and experience. Don’t squander it.
Pardon my low-res image. 😁 This was a home I’d saved a photo of on one of my first mobile phones back in 2009. It was a dream house, at the time. Today, I might go for something more French-provincial inspired. We’ll see.
I’ve noted recently that I often dream of houses - from crazy catacomb houses to crazily designed apartments, to wildly disheveled mobile homes (momma and I had a beautiful mobile home when I was younger). I’ve noted that it’s been a pattern, so I’ve dug deeper to question why I dream these places up. Most often, they’re places I’ve never seen before. I found significance in connecting “house” with the state of my mind. (We can find this correlation in connections such as “messy home, messy mind.” Right? Isn’t it distressing to have a messy house?) A few weeks ago, in a dream, I re-employed a guardsman for my estate and that is where I put all of these pieces together.
If you thought of your mind as a glorious, provincial estate, would you care for it differently? Would you have guards? Would you be more mindful about whom you invite over & allow inside?
I’ll share more about this over the next few weeks as it develops more. In the meantime, care for the estate of your mind - it is a priceless possession no one can take from you. You have the power with it.
