Spacious Living

The Leap Year of 2016 brought changes in every corner of my life-a mental, physical and emotional journey of purging.  That included sorting through my parents belongings to sell their home of 23 years; sorting and moving my own personal belongings because I vacated my apartment of six years; and sorting and moving my work space as my job responsibilities and location changed after ten years.  While I thought I was good at purging, we all know how we tend to fill up every nook and cranny with stuff, especially items neatly tied with an emotional bow!

Since the dust has settled, I decided to enroll in the course "A Year to Clear".  For those of us who have lost our parents, our emotions tend to get neatly wrapped up in their material belongings as a way to hold onto them and the precious memories of our childhood.  It has taken a lifetime to build up the stressful patterns that affect me physically and emotionally.  I am looking forward to discovering the space lurking behind my physical, mental and emotional attachments to my resistances and growing new habits.

"And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."  Phil 4:7

Happy Sunday!
