Making space and moving

Throughout our lives, we move around. My parents grew up in rural communities, and I was about 3 when we moved from town to the country! At nearly 6, we moved back (to an acre just outside town) so I could go to school and my dad was closer to his job, then I went off to college 12 years later ... Z-man helping  Over the intervening 54 years, I've been in different spaces from one -7 years, and in my little house the last 19! Now, my daughter and son in law are building me a Grannie Flat in their back yard (!!) So after nearly 2 decades,  I'm engaged in downsizing and purging for that move, which will be in stages! During construction, I'll be mere yards away, in a back nook in their home! Able to watch over and bless the process at every stage! Deciding what to take with for that 3-6 months, what can go into short term storage!  I've ordered my new mattress, but for the nonce, I'll borrow one of the kids bed, that fits in the space.  My new room Note to self:  ...

Setting space

 Recently, I binge watched sessions with Simple Shui maven Amanda Gibby Peters , and love her simple tips for incorporating Feng Shui into our daily lives. I've long been interested in Feng Shui, had a consultation for my treatment room, and have taken several mini workshops. Sanctuary First and foremost for harmonizing energy is editing our space (i.e. clearing clutter!) to reflect current interests and activities. Clutter clearing isn't a 'once and done' event- rather its an onging process! One of Amanda's Simple Shui tips is to use salt for an, "everyday, any situation cleanse.  You simply leave a small bowl of (sea or Himalayan) salt out for 24 hours. At 24 hours, dispose of it outside in the dirt or trash - whatever makes the most sense for you. You will feel brighter and lighter immediately."  As I'm currently in process of preparing my home for sale (!!) and pruning my possessions, I love finding simple tools that can help the process!  Amanda...
