Latest on the Kitchen
Topic: Home
 
So I am falling in love with my kitchen. A once boring, drab, uninviting space where I was consistently haunted by the clutter and sink full of dirty diishes...I am now inspired to BE in this kitchen. To create meals full of energy and love, to be shared with those I care about. It is still a work in progress, but coming along beautifully, don't you think?

I have red cabinets!
Topic: Home

This is the sunrise yesterday morning. Beautiful isn't it? The moon was smiling its last little crescent as well. Today the moon is new, in Leo. Thank goodness for the new moon. And thank goodness for its two week intervals of waxing and waning. I have said this before, but two weeks is a great time period. It is not too long, but just long enough. Anything seems doable in a two week time period (I know someone is reading this thinking, "there are a lot of things that just cannot be done in two weeks" but I am not looking for resistance here, only possibilities!). Just as the last two weeks have been an intense energy shifting for me, with all the decluttering and home detoxing I've been working on, I now feel like it is time to rest and restore myself this weekend in preparation for the energy shift toward the full moon. The next two weeks I see my home totally transforming, myself along with it. I know I need to be careful not to overdo anything, especially if my body is sending me signals that I am doing too much all at once. 
But look! My cabinets are RED!!! I love it so much. I admit, there was a tinge of resistence with this, but I just love it more each day. I want to be in my kitchen. I am inspired to cook things because it feels FUN to be in there. I can't wait until its totally decluttered and we decorate, it will really just come together beautifully. I know what I like when I see it, and thankfully, Amanda has the ability to feel what I like, and is in the perfect detached position to see my home's potential for its character to shine through.

Decluttering & More Design Pictures!
Topic: Home

TOTAL REHAUL OF THE HOME!!! This goes in tune with my gradual rehaul of the SELF. As I take loads and loads of clutter and STUFF out of my home to prep for painting, I am being VERY picky about what goes back in. A the moment, I can only cram so many things into the garage until I actually GET RID OF IT...so there is a pile for burning cardboard stuffs and a HUGE pile to be given away or to go to the dump. I am taking out all furniture too that I do not love. Doing this has turned my tiny little studio into an energy flowing spacious room that my kids and I can freely dance around in! I am trying to not put up TOO many progress pictures, just the basics, until it is DONE. Well, until it is at a satisfactory point, LOL. Here are some peaks:

The Tower
Topic: Home
So, here is the tower. What would you make of this guy living right next to your house (as in, on your property)? I've been intimidated by it a lot, but am trying to let go of that fear. Especially since I'm not planning on moving out of my grandma's house anytime soon. So I've tried to learn more about it. Aparantly it runs on about 18,000 volts and the military that put it there claim it to be harmless. I've always held doubts about that. It is a power line basically. Not like a radio tower. So, what do you know about these things?

Flowers and Plants!
Topic: Home

White Ginger flowers smell soooooooooooo good! This bouquet is on my altar. I would be happy to just stand next to them all day long sniffing them, LOL. When I walk into my home, I smell them. When I come out of the shower, when I wake up, as I go to sleep, I smell them. They have this scent of vanilla cream with a just a drop of fruit juice in it... heavenly. The only thing is that they wilt and die pretty quickly, so you just have to have a lot of them, so you can pick them once a week and have on going heaven scent in your home!

   We also cut a big bunch of red ginger to go on the kitchen table. I just love how vibrant the red is, it is actually more of a magenta, and they just make me feel...ALIVE. Cheerful and bright. Womanly. There is a huge patch of these along the sidewalk outside, they are basically constantly producing, so I almost ALWAYS have these in my house! I just love flowers. Not only do they brighten up a room and add life to any home, but they give me a sense of comfort and safety. Like when life is basically upsidedown, at least I've got some beautiful flowers around my house to look at!

A peak into my space (no, not MySpace!)
Topic: Home

Enjoy! I'm so proud of it, and really enjoy being in my space. I just keep getting more inspiration over time to add beauty here or there.

I have also added reminders for myself lol.gif See the "breathe" and "smile" signs? I can't wait to paint the walls!! That will come in time though wink.gif Any ideas on colors? I'm really wanting an earthy, light yellow, maybe some beige/brownish with orange tint, maybe some sage/mint green or something...not sure yet.

A beautiful Bird of Paradise and Palm leaf arrangement, with half of a ripe papaya, as I started getting creative with centerpieces for my table.
