imagine...

Imagine a place where you can be yourself. A place created just for you.  A place where you consciously chose all the items within. A place where you can freely do what you love. A place where you are inspired to be, to create, to love life.

“Some people look for a beautiful place, others make a place beautiful.”- Hazart Inayat Khan

This place can be your home. Your home can and should nourish you. Your home should reflect and support your story. This place is what {INTERIOR ALCHEMY} is all about - creating sacred space for inspired living.  The journey starts with your relationship to your things and your relationship to yourself.  {Interior Alchemy}:  part interior design, part professional organization, and part self-care.

Storytelling is an Art

Notes ON the ART of storytelling:

 “When you are in the middle of a story it isn’t a story at all, but only a confusion; a dark roaring, a blindness, a wreckage of shattered glass and splintered wood; like a house in a whirlwind, or else a boat crushed by the icebergs or swept over the rapids, and all aboard powerless to stop it. It’s only afterwards that it becomes anything like a story at all. When you are telling it, to yourself or to someone else.”

Margaret Atwood, Alias Grace

 Storytelling is also a natural function of our brains. We like to complete things. We like to complete the story and come to a conclusion.

We all have a story to tell. We are living it out each day. We get to change to plot and evolve the main character with our every thought and action. Every communication is a mini story. What perspective are you choosing? Are you telling your highest story? 

We choose where we focus the energy of our life narrative.
