From My Heart and Home To Yours…

Happy New Year! Can you believe it is 2015? Holy moly time is flying!

This was the first year (maybe ever) that I didn’t travel over the holidays. In fact, we didn’t make any plans at all. Instead we played everything by ear and ended up spending most of the last two weeks relaxing in the comfort of our own home.

At first it seemed like the holidays were going to be depressing, boring and lonely. Shouldn’t we be out seeing friends, skiing in Lake Tahoe or throwing a last minute New Years Eve Party? But the truth was, even though all those ideas sounded fun, I wasn’t up for it this year.

Instead, I laid on the couch A LOT, watched movies, read books, worked on a 2015 photo album (something I intend to do every year but never get to)  and slept like I was a teenager again. We made a mess of the house, cooked simple meals and enjoyed the spaciousness of having nothing to do. Our time together turned out to be more lovely than I ever imagined. (We did venture out to see some NYE fireworks.. checkout this awesome picture my husband took!)

As I have been getting back into the swing of life this week… work, meetings, appointments, setting goals, taking down the holiday decorations, etc.  I have been reflecting on the sacredness of home.

So often we take for granted the four walls and roof we live under.

Home is such a gift… and not only for the ways it provides us with the luxury of shelter (something so many don’t have) but also for the ways it allows us to slow down, drop in and be real with ourselves and those we love. Home holds us through life’s highs and it’s unexpected lows. It is a witness to our most sparkly self and the self who can be messy, overwhelmed or stressed a lot of the time. It really is haven for rest, reflection and rejuvenation if we allow it to be.

As I look around my home, I feel incredibly grateful for all the ways it supports me and my life. It not only is a beautiful and comfortable place to come home to at night but it is also a clear reflection of who I am and where I am in my life. When I take the time to think about it, I am in awe of the laughter that has been had here, conversations sparked, tears shed, milestones celebrated and memories made. It truly is a sacred space. (And one that provides nourishment at a level so far beyond the physical.)

With the New Year in swing, I invite you to take a moment to reflect and give thanks to your home. I also invite you to think about the ways you can show your home more love, appreciation and respect this year. Do you need to honor it? Clean it? Organize it? Bless it? Spend more time in it? Make it more beautiful? What are the ways you can deeply acknowledge your home as a vital aspect of who you are. How can you work in partnership with it to create a space that you not only love but also supports your best life?

Home is essential to our well being and deeply connected to feeling grounded, vibrant and alive. – Click to Tweet

Sending love,
