Home Sanctuary

Do you have a special place to go to when you need to look within and be alone with yourself?

We all need a safe, quiet space where we are surrounded by uplifting images or objects.

It is important for your own well being to create this "cave" or "nest" where you can escape from the outside world and refuel.  At my home I have made this sacred space in my office.  In my "cave" I have created an altar where I keep objects, photographs, crystals, candles, and tiny treasures from my walks on the beach or trails.  This table is a shrine that reminds me to go within and ground myself to connect with my inner being.       

                                                                                                                                                                          In addition to my altar, I have two dream boards that flank my desk where I do my work.

These boards are where I can fantasize and dream without holding back.  This is where I go for it and run free with the wind.  There are no limitations imprisoning me, only hope and love.  If we don't have dreams or aspirations, life would be rather mundane.  On my board to the left of my desk there are images from the outside world, powerful mentors that I look up to such as Mother Mary, The Dalai Lama, Barack Obama, Guru Singh, and an unknown American Indian Chief.  There are also words that resonate with me that are important for me to live my life by; such as "compassion", "balance", "love", "serenity","peace", "creativity", "friendship", "beauty", and "grace".  Next to these words are images that support their meaning.  

To the right of my desk is a board which holds various photos of my family throughout the years which have touched my heart so deeply that I can't just put them into an album on a shelf to forget about. These photos take me back in time through my life to remind me how short our time really is here on this earth and we need to "Carpe Diem", seize every morsel of tenderness that we are blessed with.

Your boards will probably change a bit from time to time to keep current with where you are at in your growth process.  Things that seemed so important to you before may not hold so much power on you anymore. That's okay, let it go, and allow the new to filter in.  This is your private jet that can fly where ever it needs to go, you are the pilot.
