The Personality of Your Home

A house is who you are, not who you ought to be.  –Jill Robinson
Houses are not only the physical buildings we reside in, but the very essence of our physical and spiritual bodies.  Like it or not, the personalities of our homes are accurate barometers that reflect, through our surroundings, where we have been, what’s going on in our lives, and who we are – today, this moment – though not necessarily where we’re heading.
Taking steps toward acceptance, blessing our circumstances, and discovering our personal preferences – can jump-start the expression of our authenticity through the way we care for and even decorate our homes.  When we do, the principles of gratitude, simplicity and order will begin to transform the places where we live into havens of comfort and contentment.
Money certainly can help us express ourselves through our surroundings, creating a warm, inviting home that reflects our own personality.  But, it doesn’t have to begin by hiring a life coach, a decorator or pulling out our credit cards or check book.  Be grateful for the home you have, right now, today…knowing that, at this moment, all you have is all you truly need.
