Creating What You Want

Yesterday I was creating the Lake House and Hermitage Retreat Houses the way I want.
Finishing touches of beauty, cleanliness and order were called for.
Giving every guest the experience I want to have for myself.
I create spaces into which I could welcome anyone with joy.

I would ask us all to treat others as we wish to be treated.
If you honor, respect and love yourself, you will give yourself the very best for you.
If you disrespect, devalue and don’t care about you, you may not care about your needs.
It may be time to give yourself the beauty, order and cleanliness you really desire.

Imagine a most honored guest in your home or workplace.
Imagine someone whom you admire and wish to please.
Imagine giving your very best to someone you cherish.
Imagine loving someone so well that they remember to love themselves.

This is the way you are called to create your world.
Create beauty for yourself to remember the beauty within you.
Create order to feel organized, clear and focused.
Create cleanliness to represent a life clear of debris and clutter.

When I create my home, office space, healing and counseling centers and retreats, I envision wanting to offer a space where everyone who enters (including myself) feels energized and awakened, peaceful and creative, happy and fulfilled.
I envision a space of freedom and trust, where we remember love and renew our whole essence.
I envision a place with few distractions and multiple opportunities to give ourselves what we need.
I create the opportunity to inspire ourselves to live our potential and actualize our calling.

In the world, this calls for work.
Making everything clean and new.
Surrounding myself with color and natural beauty.
Providing fresh water, clean air and a quiet place to rest and center one’s energy.

Yes, I make beds with fresh linens, wash windows and floors.
Yes, I put art on the walls and feng shui the bagua.
Yes, I fill the rooms with love and light.
Yes, I love to create, beauty, order and cleanliness.

I simply love what I create and create what I love.

I love you in your creations, too.
