The Art of Storytelling at Home

We are in the midst of our greatest story.

This is our life we are creating each day.

May we have space to express and play out these stories.

“Let your house be a place to tell stories. By surrounding yourself with objects and translations of your very own travel observations, you create a place full of your memories, a unique, authentic place that reflects your personality.”

Sibela Court

home is where... {fill in the blank} what does home mean to you?

Home can be your sanctuary, your place to be you in all your you-ness, a place to nurture your dreams. Embracing the journey of creating a home you love - a home that tells your highest story.

I choose W O N D E R +  C A L M +  L O V E.

A Supportive Home (laboratory for life)

Consider your home as a laboratory for life.

Be Intentional.

When we intentionally guide our imagination we can create a home that expressess and supports our highest intentions + desires.

Take the perspective that your home is a stage for your authentic story + style to unfold, allowing it to aide you in reaching a deeper understanding of who you are and what your life here on Earth can be.  

Be aware of the general mood you infuse into your space, while acknowledging the need for our home space to accomodate all our moods (shadow selves included).

Home is a tool to express yourself, it can remind you of the happiness that lies within you - If you seek outside yourself you will always be elluded. Instead express the inside on the outside.

It is up to you to create a home that supports a way of life that appeals to you. consider designing spaces that allow for you to live out your personal manifesto.

When we get our home in order other areas of life may begin to follow suit - it is a reciprocal process.

Celebrate the Rituals of Home Life

I believe seeing home life as a Sacred Ritual can elevate everyday life to a new level. Imagine if you could turn everyday routines into special moments.

Why not turn your home into a sancturary for your life? It would a combination of intention + presence.

Good DESIGN is no longer just about colour, function and aesthetics. It is about creating a product, an idea, a space that can enhance our life and help us deal with what obstacles this changing world is throwing at us. Our houses are no longer simply homes but places where we work, study, socialise and shop. We demand dwellings that celebrate the rituals of domestic life and allow for privacy and change of mood.

Some ideas on activities that can become 'rituals' when they are consciously done  with clear intention:

• Waking Up

• Make the bed thank the bed

• Music while cleaning up

• Opening all the windows welcoming a breathe of fresh air + a fresh start

• A candle blessing

• Thanking things as they are put away.

• Food prep

• Brushing teeth 

• Showering

• Going to Bed

I will leave this musing here and revisit each topic above as I continue to practice experiencing the everyday as ritual.
