I challenged myself back in June to begin writing in my blog daily, and I've hung on quite well! And a lot of my posts have given me a lot to think about, and to learn about myself as well. There's something nice about achieving a goal!
Today's topic in my book is about making your home a part of your hobby. If you're like me, you look at maintaining your home as a chore, not a hobby. But a part of what we do inside our home is an expression of ourselves, and a reflection of who we are. One of my passions back in the day was collecting antique Pyrex and some Vernon Kilns stoneware. In order to enjoy it, I was inspired by a Swedish plate rack design, so I had my Dad and my son build me one to hold some plates. Every time I look at it, I smile and remember them building it together.
Sometimes our outlook holds us back, and sometimes it helps us grow. Changing our perspective from our chores being a drudgery to being a pleasurable pursuit. For example, the idea of "cleaning the garage" doesn't sound fun -- until you change your thinking to "once it's done, there will be room for my hobby"!!
It's important that we let our home reflect our personality; perhaps your hobbies will play a part in your home's decor. But as you're running down your TO DO list of household chores, think about how you can do more than just clean .... put your stamp on the chore, make it a reflection of your inner Spirit and let it shine, shine, shine!
