Sacred Space......

This is my space.....like selfishly my own space.

It is not designer perfect by any means but I do not care.  

 This was the draw when we bought the house...this crazy, built by the original owner corner desk.  I loved that I could put my sewing machine on the desk and drag out all my fabrics without moving it off the kitchen table.

 After twelve years of coffee spills, worn spots, and needles stuck in the carpet, the carpet came up and wood went down.

 An old recliner went to Goodwill and and my chocolate brown marshmallow feeling recliner took its place.

 And on the shelves are all of my favorite things.  Family pictures, quotes that speak to me, quilt books, photography manuals, and sacred pictures painted by a special friend. 

   In here is everything I love and when I drink my morning coffee in my favorite chair I am in my happy space surrounded by "my stuff".

It is peace, tranquility, and warm fuzzy feelings because it is MY space.

Favorite Things.....

Not jewelry, not fancy cars, not designer clothes...though these things are nice.  My favorite things are empty journals, motivational books, and coffee cups.  The coffee cups that start my day off with a quote that can stay with me throughout the day.  

 I love waking up in the morning now that I can start the day without an alarm...retirement is perfect!

A cup of coffee and time in my favorite space (more on that later). 

I love to write.  I don't have an agenda but journaling my thoughts has always been a thing for me.  

So give me 30 minutes, sometimes more, to sip on coffee, read something uplifting and motivational, and then journal whatever is on my mind.  Just my thoughts for the day.  It is pen to paper and no one has to read it or like why I have to say.  It is for me.

I am always on the lookout for something to read, a pretty journal to write in and a coffee cup that inspires me....
