Damn Laundry Room - by: Jane Kifer

I have a bag started to get rid of stuff! yay me,- NO, not yay me. I put it, once again, for the holding period until it is full, in my laundry room. Fine enough, NO NOT FINE enough! It is my relationship corner and let me tell you , we are constantly doing laundry! Emotionally, constantly getting old patterns and shit out! So exhausting (and amazing). I made a deliberate choice to put a pinkish, beige, whiteish abstract painting I made in there, and I hung pictures up of two birds facing each other and a little post it of two hearts. That helped actually, things calmed down and became less "house cleaning" with our hearts. I stopped gathering bags to give away there, but , yesterday I thought one little bag hung up would be okay right? Ugh I am going to go move it. We had the wonderful experience of cleaning out more emotional stuff last night. Not my favorite way to spend my time, but worth it in the end- always. I need to go move it. Next to my desk seems okay, only thing is the kids get into it and pull everything I want to give away back out and then I'm cleaning up even more! In my bedroom I also honored the relationship corner more. I put a photo of my partner and myself, TWO PLANTS that are healthy and blooming. The relationship corner of the house and or of the bedroom are the most back right corner from walking in the door. Keep in mind not every home is a perfect square, like my little dilapidated bungalow of perfection, but unless the area is missing in some way, this should be honored with intention and awareness for healthy relationships. Trust me!

Headboard Means Support - by: Jane Kifer

Let's talk Headboards! Turns out they are sort of important, especially for a couple. It needs to be wood and solid and attached to the bed. It is there to support you two! Make changes. It's important for your relationship. I finally bought a bed as an adult and I LOVE it, I am a grown up- Wahoo! Thankfully it has a great headboard- as I started taking the Feng Shui class I realized it's importance- whew, good choice Jane. They also say that there should be space under the bed, not on the ground type of bed. AND NO CLUTTER under there! Put the wrapping paper, sweaters and JUNK SOMEWHERE ELSE! This is not a storage dumping ground, this is a sacred space where you spend half of your life. Don't sleep on a heap of stuff like the princess and the pea, believe me, those quantum particles will be felt in your life! My mentor actually said, if you are trying to have a baby, it is helpful for the space under the bed to collect ling particles- a sort of energetic dust in creation. I, however, am NOT interested in conceiving at this time, so I make sure to sweep under there often!
