Sacred Space
Hi there,
Yay for Tuesday (well in case you weren't so fond of Monday). We're practically at Wednesday. It's true....In some countries!
Do you have a special place that you like to unwind? Maybe with a long bubble bath and the latest InStyle magazine or a corner of your home that has a large overstuffed pillow and reading light. My favourite place is a coffee shop about 2 blocks from my home. They have big comfy leather chairs, lots of tables, and play some amazing music. Lots of people watching inside and outside the huge wall of windows. Wireless connections for those with laptops. Not me, I'm a pen and journal kind of gal. You'll find me a large latte in a china mug, green leather journal and one of my ACME Studio pens. These pens are artistic in design and fabulous to write with so I'm a happy monkey. www.acmestudio.com - enjoy the visit!
Everyone needs to have one place where they can enjoy quiet time, YOU time. Some love the library (though these days, they aren't so quiet!) or hanging out in large bookstores (Chapters Indigo is one of my other home away from homes). Doesn't even have to be a particularly peaceful environment. Just one that makes you happy and nourishes your creative soul. The Art Gallery of Ontario is also one place that makes my heart soar. All that ART!!!! The Royal Ontario Museum does it too - the gem exhibit - endless colours and sparkles and prisms, oh MY!
Some people are only able to find their personal space in their dreams at night. Now I'm not one to really interpret dreams BUT if I see a pattern over a number of weeks, I'll check it out. Usually my dreams are pretty much clear visions rather than abstract ideas. Only my daytime thinking is all over the map! Night time is an entirely different story. Plays out like a movie, and in colour yet!
It is important to take some of YOU time every week. Each day would be ideal - even for 15 minutes to catch your breath. One of my all-time favourite books is by Cheryl Richardson called "Take Time for Your Life".

The BEST investment you'll ever make in life is in yourself. Please start today.
Until Wednesday, over and out from the kitchen of Chartreuse Monkey!
