    Living with Purpose | Are You Confused About Whether to Sell or Stay?

    Are you confused about whether to sell or stay in your home? In my workshops and private sessions, I often attract people who are struggling with selling or staying in their home. Our homes have such a major impact on the quality of our lives that it makes sense how difficult this decision is.   As I've listened to people's stories, I've found a common thread to the struggle. The ego points out all the reasons to sell when your soul calls you to stay. Or, your ego convinces you to stay when your soul is itching to leave. Unfortunately, it can be very difficult to distinguish between the voice of your ego versus your soul. When this happens, it's important to tune into your soul's purpose for this time in your life. Look at your house from that lens and ask if your house supports you in living that purpose. If your home supports your purpose, stay until your purpose or something about your home changes. If your house doesn't support your purpose, then it may be time go or it may be time to make changes to your home or decor, so it does feed your soul. While figuring this out may sound easy, it rarely is. If you need help hearing if your soul is calling you to stay or go, I'd love to talk with you. Just click the link to schedule a free 30-minute call.  In future episodes, we'll explore specific situations where the choice to stay or go can be difficult starting with  when it's time for adult children to leave their parent's house.  Until next week, I wish you well on your journey.  

    Living with Purpose | Is the Declaration of Independence Soulful? A look from a Soul's Home® Perspective.

    Is the Declaration of Independence soulful? In honor of Independence Day today, let's look at the Declaration of Independence from a Soul's Home® perspective. Community is an important Soul's Home® ingredient and the Declaration of Independence is the foundation upon which this community of America was built. But does the Declaration of  Independence have soul? When it was written in 1776, the 13 American colonies were controlled by Britain's King George III who imposed military rule, restricted trade, and collected taxes without representation or protection of life, liberty or property. One could say that the ego of King George III attempted to overrule the souls of the colonists. The most famous line of the Declaration of Independence “…that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” shows a refusal to allow a government to quash the souls of its people. It is this notion that our Creator gives us all the right to be free and live to pursue our happiness that is the essence of the Journey to Your Soul's Home®.  Here in America, wherever you choose to live, you are free to connect with your soul because your right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is protected by your government. Okay, yes! I acknowledge that this is not always true and that when the founding fathers said, “all men are created equal', they did not include women, native Americans or slaves. While these omissions were not soulful, the work that was done to create a government that was by the people and for the people allows for a course correction over time. Most days, we take our rights for granted and give little thought to others in countries that inhibit their people from living their soul's purpose. But today, let's appreciate the opportunity we have to live soulful lives in our American community and register our wish for everyone around the world to be able to do the same. If you feel moved, write about this below because sharing is good for your soul. Next time, we'll ask, “What gives you the right to own land?”  Until next week, I wish you well on your journey.

    Living with Purpose | Does Your Décor Reflect Your Spiritual Purpose or Is it Keeping You Stuck? How To Use Décorating To Get Un-stuck.

    Does your décor reflect your spiritual purpose or is it keeping you stuck? A couple of months ago, I was spinning the wheels on my business and problem solving was going nowhere. Then, I remembered my father's advice about getting stuck in the snow, “Spinning your wheels digs you in deeper making it hard to get out. Instead rock back and forth until you can move forward.”    That's the same way the Journey to Your Soul's Home® works. You shift your focus back and forth between your purpose and your home to move forward. It was time to shift my focus to my home.   When we'd last decorated, the spiritual purpose of our home was to maintain a connection with Eric's children through their college years, re-align our marriage to an empty nest and develop my  Journey to Your Soul's Home®. With three kids in college and my business just starting, we chose not to spend a lot of time or money decorating. I hung art from my single years even though Eric didn't like it and put pictures of the kids everywhere so we'd feel connected to them. But now the spiritual purpose of our lives is different. The kids are mostly independent but well connected to us, our marriage is stronger than ever and I'm confident in my Soul's Home® approach. The new spiritual purpose of our home is to enjoy our strong marital union and use it to support each other in our work. But our home didn't reflect that. It felt stuck in time and I felt like a fraud. How could I teach anyone how to have a Soul's Home® if I didn't?   In the coming weeks, I'll share how we fixed that! In the meantime, if you need my help hearing if your soul is calling you to re-decorate or move, I'd love to talk with you. Just click Contact Me to get in touch.   Until next week, I wish you well on your journey. 

    Living with Purpose | Got Pesky Household Members? 3 Things You Can Do to Turn Pesky into Pleasure

    Got pesky household members?   Last week, we applied the three choices you always have to things you don't like about your house. But what if the thing you don't like is a pesky household member? Let's face it. It's hard to live with other people! Heck, sometimes I find it hard to live with myself! So, let's use the three choices to turn pesky household members into pleasures. Should you: 1. Live with it 2. Lobby for change  3. Leave First, think about your soul's purpose for the short term – what I call the little p. If you need help figuring out your little p, check out Episode 05. Once you know your little p, ask if “living with it” makes sense. For example, is your soul is calling you to focus on something outside of the pesky relationship for now, say, a project at work or finishing school or caring for someone else? If it is, unless the pesky person is stopping you from focusing on this, your soul may be calling you to live with the pesky person, as is, until your other calling is complete. But if your soul is calling you to address this pesky relationship, you are left with two choices: lobby for change or leave. Today, leave is often the go-to choice. And leave makes sense if there's physical abuse for example. But for your garden variety pests, your soul will likely call you to try lobbying for change first. “Oh, darn you, soul! It would be so much easier to leave or ask them to leave!” And maybe you will be called to leave eventually. But for now, if your soul is calling you to lobby for change there is spiritual purpose in your home and your relationship so lobbying for change will feed your soul. “Good!” You say, “Now, I can tell that pesky person what they should do.” Not so fast. The choice to lobby for change in a relationship has two components. First, look within yourself to clarify the outcome you want and acknowledge how you need to change. Only then can you lovingly explain to your pesky person what you need from them and why it's important to you.  As difficult as it may be, you'll have the most success if you avoid blaming, listen fully and expect to repeat this process several times. This is all easy to say but I know from experience, very difficult to do. If you ever meet my husband, he'll confirm that I'm not always great at this. My wish for you is that the two of you grow spiritually through this process. If you feel moved, write about this below because sharing is good for your soul. Next time we'll talk about: A Cat That Saved A Life.  Until next week, I wish you well on your journey.

    Living with Purpose | Have So Much to Do That You Don't Know What to Do? 3 Simple Steps to Cure the “Too Much to Do” Blues

    Do you have so much to do that you have no idea what to do? I often feel like I have way too much to do. If you're overwhelmed too, here's a simple cure for the, “I've got too much to do” blues. It starts with the belief that there's always enough time to do everything your soul wants you to do. Think about it – your soul wants you to live your most authentic life and if you've always got too much to do, that just can't happen. You need spaces in-between to hear your soul. But it can be tricky to know WHAT your soul wants you to do, so let's break it down into three simple steps. First, write a list of everything you think you should do. Second, find a quiet spot to connect with your soul.  Start with the first item and ask your soul if it wants you to do it – yes? no? Or maybe so? If you need help hearing your soul check out Episode 03. If you don't get a clear yes or no, it's a maybe – which means “no for now”. Write Y, N, or M next to the item and move on to the next one.  I'm typically relieved and surprised by all that my soul removes from my plate. But don't stop here. The third step is to ask your soul when it wants you to do each “Yes”. You can focus on short term or longer term. For short term ask, “What do you want me to do now?” and see which item you feel called to do. After you've completed it or reached a natural break, go back to the Yesses and ask again, “What do you want me to do now?” For longer term ask, “Do you want me to do this, this week or later?” You can substitute this week with today, this month or this year. Whenever you feel overwhelmed, go back to the first step. Don't worry if you haven't finished all the Yesses, if they're still a yes, they'll show up again.  I hope that this will cure your “I've got too much to do” blues. If you feel moved, write about this below because sharing is good for your soul. Next time, we'll talk about whether you're a product of Nature or Nurture. Until next week, I wish you well on your journey.  

    How to Leverage Your Troubles to Find Meaning and Purpose in Life

    Can your troubles help you find purpose in life?  Last week, we talked about focusing on your soul's purpose in order to stay balanced during life's ups and downs. But what if you don't know what your purpose is? Likely, you'll find it in your troubles.   Let's transcend your troubles by leveraging them to find purpose. Times of turmoil are fertile grounds for discovering purpose because by experiencing what you don't want, you can clarify what you do want and are more motivated to get it.   Unfortunately, this opportunity is often missed because the ego fixates on our suffering, ruminates on what we don't want, and becomes wistful about the past.    Rather than engaging our soul to springboard from our troubles into a meaningful life by envisioning a positive future, our ego wants to spiral us deeper into despair. Instead, engage your soul to focus on what you want. Recall a time that you or someone you know transcended an obstacle by turning it into an opportunity. Use that memory to inspire you to do the same.   So what does all this have to do with Soul's Home®? The foundation of Soul's Home® is knowing your short term or long–term purpose so you can set up your home to help you live that purpose.   I hope you'll be able to leverage your troubles to find meaning and create a home that supports you in living a meaningful life. If you want help finding meaning in your life and in your home, check out the link to the Soul's Home® Alignment DIY.   Next time we'll ask, “Is your home an investment?”.

    What's Your Point?  What do I mean by “What's your point?” It's a lesson I learned from spinning ballerinas and balancing yogis.  To spin without falling, a dancer “spots” by focusing on a fixed object as her body turns and whips her head around to see the object each time she rotates. The balancing yogi fixates on a point to stay steady.  Losing focus means wobbling and that's bound to happen sometimes  but with maturity,  you regain focus and steady again.  When your life feels out of balance or  you're dizzy from spinning in circles, remember the ballerinas and yogis and ask yourself,  “What's my point?”  Your point is something you look forward to in the future. The thing that your soul is calling you towards either in the short term or long term. It's what gives your life meaning in that moment.   If you want to spin perfectly or stay balanced even during chaotic times, you must first be clear about what your point is. The more you understand your purpose, the harder it'll be for life's ups and downs to throw you off balance or stop you from spinning and the easier it'll be to get back in the saddle when they do.   When you find yourself out of kilter, remember the ballerina and yogi, re-connect to your purpose and ask how you can use the events that are throwing you off to best serve your purpose.  But what if you have no clue what your purpose is?

    Where are you on Maslow's Hierarchy of needs?    Maslow believed that people are motivated to act on their needs in priority order: Physiological, Safety, Love/ Belonging, Esteem and Self-Actualization. So, if you don't have food and water, you'll seek it even at the expense of your safety. Once you have food and water, you'll seek safety. Until you have safety, it will be your priority before seeking love and so on. Maslow believed that the ultimate goal of self-actualization was not possible until all the lower needs were met.  I was excited to learn about this in Psychology 101 because it explained why there were so many struggling people who couldn't just pull themselves up by the bootstraps and make something of themselves!   Here I was, a young woman who had grown up in the safety and love of my parent's home with all the advantages of middle-class America. I had the luxury of being able to focus on figuring out what I wanted to do with my life. But what about all those people at the bottom of the pyramid whose only thoughts are protecting their safety or getting enough to eat?    This is why “home” is so important. The Journey to Your Soul's Home® is about getting all your needs met so you can self-actualize by living your soul's purpose. Where are you right now on Maslow's Hierarchy? What can you do to strengthen the foundation of your triangle so you can achieve self-actualization? I believe that as each of us moves to the top of the pyramid, we'll be able to give a hand up to others below so we may all live to our greatest potential.  If you feel moved, write about this below because sharing is good for your soul.

    Are you a product of your nature or how you've been nurtured? As a teenager, I had an ongoing good-natured debate with my mother about whether or not, people were a product of nature or nurture. She was a science teacher so, she argued the Nature side – that people were born with genetic predispositions. I studied psychology so, I argued the Nurture side – that it was the environments people lived in, particularly when they were a child that shaped who they were. But now, I've come to realize that we were both right – both what you are born with and your environment shape who you are. Learning how to make the most of what you were born with by creating an environment where you will thrive is the essence of the Journey to Your Soul's Home®. On the nature side, you were born with a purpose – your soul's purpose and you were given unique talents to carry out that purpose.   On the nurture side, creating a home where your talents will thrive is critical to living your soul's purpose. You can think of it like this. Your soul's purpose is what nature gave you – your predisposition. Your Soul's Home® is the environment that will  nurture your soul's purpose. The two have a direct relationship so as you focus on your environment, your ability to live your soul's purpose increases and as you focus on your purpose, improvements to your environment will flow. Allow your focus to shift back and forth between the two as your soul feels moved and eventually, you will be fully living your soul's purpose and be living in a home that fully supports your purpose.

    What shall you do? It's often hard to know what to do. There are so many difficult decisions in life. I remember the first time I struggled to make a big decision, my mother gave me some sage advice. She said, “Suzanne, you always have three choices: 1. Live with it, 2. Lobby for change or 3. Leave.” Knowing the three choices has felt liberating and empowering. Liberating because it shrinks a sea of unlimited choices down to bite sized pieces and empowering because – gosh, darn it! With this tool, I can decide and move on! So, let's look closer at these three choices. First, name something about your home that you don't like. Second, think about your soul's purpose for the short term – what I call the little p. If you need help figuring out your little p, check out Episode 05. Third, consider your choices in the context of your little p. Given your soul's purpose for the short term, what would feed your soul the most right now? Is it time for you to live with your home the way it is? Is it time to lobby for change by decorating or remodeling? Or is it simply time to leave or move out? Sit quietly and ask your soul to guide you. The answer may come quickly, or you may need to take more time to explore your options and let them simmer before the answer is clear. It's important to know that the answer can be different depending upon when you are asking the question. Let's say for example, that your soul is calling you to take care of an ill family member. This may not be the time for you to renovate your house so, the answer may be to live with it. But once that family member has recovered, your soul may call you to a new beginning by directing you to renovate or leave. No matter what you decide, my wish for you is that you are at peace with your decision and in your soul's flow as you implement it. If you need help figuring out if you should live with it, lobby for change or leave your home, you can check out the link to our free quiz: Does Your Home Feed Your Soul?    If you feel moved, write about this below because sharing is good for your soul.

    We've talked about the BIG P – the part of your soul's purpose that's your life's work, what you were born to do. But what about your little “p” or what your soul is calling you to do for the short term?  I really like the little p because even if you are struggling to figure out what your Big P is you can still stay on track by tuning in to your little p. Your little p will always lead to your Big P. Your little p says, “It's okay to be where you are, don't worry about the future just be here with me now and I'll make sure you get to where you need to be.” Sometimes, it's impossible to see your Big P clearly until you have fully addressed your little p. For example, someone who has lived through abuse or has health challenges may need to heal and recover before their Big P gets into focus or is even possible to realize.  Even people who know their Big P need to follow their little p to achieve their Big P. Remember we talked about Jane Goodall's Big P – to promote understanding and protection of great apes and their habitat. Today, she travels the world, speaking to inspire action. Can you imagine if she started doing that in 1960 instead of living among the chimpanzees in Tanzania? She first needed to understand the apes and their needs and gain credibility before she could be an effective advocate for them.  It's normal to wish we were farther along than we are. If that's where you are, go ahead – take time to feel like crap about being where you are. It's okay. I hereby give you permission to feel like crap for as long as you like – it can be your little p. And when you're done feeling like crap, ask: “Soul, what do you want me to focus on now?” You define now according to what you need – this moment, today, this week, this year? Maybe, it just takes as long as it takes – that's okay. Use the list of common little p's below to help your soul hone in on yours. Careful though, don't pick too many, 2 or 3 will suffice. Anything more than that will be counter productive.   Explore Your Options  Learn or Study  Create or Birth Prepare Pursue &/or Receive What You Need to Live Your Purpose Connect with Others Perform Your Craft or Purpose Survive, Manage, or Protect from Crisis  Lobby for Change  Prune and Purge People, Activities and Things Rest, Recover and Heal from a Physical/Emotional Difficulty Re-discover Yourself After a Life Change Be a Caretaker for a Loved One  Make Time and Space to Hear Your Soul Coast & Have Fun Develop Good Self-Care Habits  Improve Your Financial Health  Heal Damaged Relationships  Stand Up for Yourself Move away from danger  If you feel so moved, please let me know how focusing on little p works for you by writing comments below.  Until next week, I wish you well on your journey. 

    Adult Children Living at Home: A Soulful Guide to Knowing When it's Time to Let Them Go.

    Should you kick your adult children out of your house? The number of adult children who've returned home or never left has risen over the last decade, leaving some parents with a dilemma.   If this describes you, how do you make a soulful decision about whether or not to allow your adult children to live with you? The key is to recognize whether or not you're enabling or empowering your child by allowing them to live with you.   Enabling encourages active addiction, free loading or constant conflict. Enabling won't help your child become a responsible adult and starves everyone's souls.   On the other hand, empowerment inspires your child to pursue their soul's purpose, contribute to the household and live harmoniously, feeding everyone's souls. Once fully empowered, your adult child will leave on their own when the time is right.   If you're nervous that will never happen, set a date in your mind that you'd ask your child to start preparing to leave. Make the date far enough away for your child to be able to move out successfully and close enough to give you some comfort.   Eric and I did this but never had to have “the conversation” because the child was long gone by our date. But having the date in our minds made our time with our child much more enjoyable.   If you're enabling your child, letting them go with love may be what's most soulful for everyone. But that's a tough pill to swallow though and not easy to carry out alone. Ask your soul if it's the most soulful option and for guidance in finding the right people to help.   For help unraveling this, check out the link below to the Soul's Home® Alignment DIY. Once you do the meditations and exercises, you'll have a clearer picture of your soul's calling in relationship to your child.  I hope that you'll be able to live in harmony and empowerment with everyone in your house.

    Is it time to move out of your parent's house?  There's no magic answer to when it's time to leave your parent's house. It depends on you, your family and the house. In general, when you feel that you're being held back or holding others back it's time to move on.  During the adulting phase, the spiritual purpose of your life is about becoming independent and “finding yourself.” While leaving your parents home can help, it may not be time for you now.    How do you know when it's time to go? Ask yourself these questions to get clarity: – Are you your best self at home?  – Do you feel like you can't be you?   – Do you need to move out to find yourself?  – Are you clear about what you want to do and your parent's home is providing the support and stability you need as you seek the right opportunity?   – Is there conflict at home that's better left behind?   – Is staying helping to heal childhood wounds? – Are you selling yourself short by free loading?   – Are you contributing to the household?   – Are you stuck because you're afraid to venture out on your own?  – Are you actively preparing to become independent?   – Does your soul call you to stay to help take care of others in the house?  – Are you cleared for take–off?    – Can you support yourself financially?  – Does staying give you breathing room until you have the income and savings to move?   Sit with your answers then ask your soul what it's calling you to do. If it's time to go, take a moment to feel gratitude for your parents who've allowed you to live there until it was time to go. If it's not time to go, be clear about why you are staying and how you can use this time to find yourself and prepare for independence.  Next week, we'll look at this from your parent's angle.

    Should you buy a house with a partner you're not married to?   Buying a house together as a married couple is complicated enough. If you're not married, there's even more to iron out. On top of agreeing on the house, location, sharing expenses and merging stuff, an unmarried couple faces more complex property ownership laws, judgments by others on moral and religious grounds and possibly their own commitment issues. These complexities may cloud your soul's voice causing your ego to decide to buy together when it's not soulful or NOT buy when it would be soulful.   So, how can you be sure you're acting soulfully?    – First, check out last week's episode to see if you have a “soul marriage”. If you don't, buying together isn't likely to feed anyone's soul.   – Second, tune into your own soul's purpose and spiritual purpose as a couple and agree on what you need most in a house to feed your souls.  – Third, consult a lawyer about how you'll address the legal gap for unmarried couples taking title to a house together. Married couples may take title so that the other gets the whole house if one of you dies and agreement is necessary to sell. In most states, there isn't a title for unmarried couples that has both survivorship rights and requires agreement before selling so additional legal documents may be necessary.  – Fourth, whenever you're in disagreement or are faced with moral or commitment issues, tune into your soul to ask for the spiritual purpose of the trouble. Allow it to either strengthen your resolve to buy together or lead to marriage or simply living together or going your separate ways.   No matter which direction you choose, I hope you'll be able to have a home and housemates that feed your soul.

That may seem like an odd question but my husband and I felt “married” long before our wedding day.  On the other hand, there are legal marriages between people whose souls aren't married. When your souls are married, the spiritual purpose of living together is to feed each other's souls so you may more fully live your purpose. Living together, however, is the hardest part of marriage so you may not want to do it without the benefit of legal marriage.  I sometimes joked that if my husband and I didn't have to live together we'd have the perfect marriage – to which he agrees. That's because we weren't always on the same page about money, which way the toilet paper should be hung or the children. It can take years to get in sync.  If you're thinking of shacking up and have neither a soul marriage nor a legal marriage, then what would be the purpose of living together? Saving money? Sharing household chores? Convenient sex? Avoiding commitment? Chasing after commitment?  Without a “soul marriage”, living together is likely to feed your ego rather than your soul keeping both of you from living your soul's purpose. I hope that whether you're legally married or not, you'll be able to live with people that feed your soul so you can fully live your soul's purpose.  Next week, we'll explore the complications of buying a house together without being married. Until next time, I wish you well on your journey.    

    Should You Move Into Your Spouse's House When You Get Married?

    Should you move into your spouse's house when you get married?  Now that you've found your soul mate, it's time to find your Soul's Home®. But can your Soul's Home® be a house your spouse already owns? That depends.  Presumably, you're getting married because you feed each other's souls. Since that's the case, start with the premise that your relationship is more important than where you live. You could live in the most perfect house but if you're not in harmony with your spouse, that perfect house will not be your Soul's Home®. On the other hand, you could live in a terrible house but if you are in harmony with your spouse you will feel like your Soul is Home®.  When you marry, you're both going from “me” to “we”. Generally, it's better to approach finding your marital home as a “we” rather than adapting a home that was found as a “me” or worse yet a previous “we.” But sometimes, finances, a unique house or location, children or other life circumstances may make a home that one of you owns your Soul's Home® too.    There are three steps to hearing whether your souls are calling you to find a new house together or use one of your existing homes: – First, tune into your soul's purposes as individuals and as a couple.  – Second, prioritize each of the Soul's Home® ingredients by what you need most to feed your souls.  – Third, determine if the existing house can meet those priorities for now.  If it can, agree on what changes you'll make to transform it from a “me” house to your “we” house, how you'll share expenses, if you'll both be on the title and when it might be time to consider moving. If an existing house can't meet your “we” priorities, it's time to let go and find a new house together. I hope you two soul mates find your Soul's Home®.  If you need help, I'd love to speak with you. Just click Contact Me to schedule a free 30-minute call.

    Is moving to the “best” school district bad for your kids?   As parents, part of our soul's purpose is to empower our children to live their soul's purpose. And school plays a big part in this. Likely, you'll consider school safety, test scores, class sizes, teacher attitudes, classroom behavior, extra-curricular activities, college attendance and affordability. While these factors are all important, to make the most soulful choice for your child, the location, community AND home must feed YOUR soul too.   When I do Soul's Home® Alignment Plans and workshops, parents often express despair over sacrificing feeding their own souls to live in a “better” school district. This can be bad for your kids in a few ways.  – First, the example you provide will impact your child more than their school. It's easier for your children to grow up living their soul's purposes, if they see you living yours.   – Second, when your soul isn't fed, you have less loving energy for your children.  – Third, you risk harming your relationship if you accuse your kids of being ungrateful after ALL you've done for them. And when you live in a neighborhood where you don't feel like you fit in, your kids will likely feel that way too, breeding insecurities.  To avoid these pitfalls, ask your ego to investigate all your options then ask your soul to choose the one that will best feed everyone's souls. If the school, community, location and house aren't ALL ideal, ask your soul for the spiritual purpose of the “deficiency”.  For example, if your soul leads you to a better school in the suburbs while you prefer the city, maybe you take regular trips to the city to feed your soul. If your soul calls you to the city and you're not happy with the school, maybe you're called to volunteer to make it a better place for everyone's kids. I hope you'll be able to find a home in a school district that will nourish everyone's souls.  If you need help finding your Soul's Home®, I'd love to speak with you. Just click Contact Me to schedule a free 30-minute call.  Next month, we'll ask if it's better to renovate or sell? Until next time, I wish you well on your journey.

    Could redecorating strengthen your marriage? The last time we decorated, the spiritual purpose of our home was to help Eric's children as they transitioned to adulthood, re-align our marriage in an empty nest, and develop Journey to Your Soul's Home®. But now that the kids are independent, our marriage is stronger than ever and I'm confident in my Soul's Home® approach, our décor didn't reflect that.  I wanted décor that aligned with our new spiritual purpose: to enjoy our strong marital union and use it to support each other in our work. Eric agreed and was on board with me taking time off and using $800 we'd been gifted to redecorate.   He was thrilled to return from work to see empty spaces where cluttered family photos and art from my single years once hung. We decided where to move the décor we were keeping, and I went shopping to fill in the gaps. But as I shopped, it felt wrong to choose decor myself. I was called to choose with Eric. But I was nervous. I thought I'd have to compromise for the sake of the marriage. But when we liked the same things, I realized that I'd done our marriage a disservice.   When I decorated my last bachelorette pad, I felt grief in anticipation that it would be the last time I'd have décor I liked. I believed my future husband and I wouldn't agree. So, I kept art from my single years and shied away from including Eric in decorating. This was my way of hanging on to the freedom and simplicity of my single life.   As our relationship strengthened, I was called to let go of the symbols of my bachelorette life. Redecorating together has allowed Eric and I to embrace our marriage on a deeper level. In a tender moment, Eric told me that we now have the home he always pictured with me. And ironically, my life feels simpler and freer than it did when I was single.   Whether you're married or single, I hope you have home décor that feeds your soul.

    Should you be neat and tidy?   The Soul's Home® ingredient – Neatness is often misunderstood so let's take a soulful approach. There's a common assumption that neat is good and messy is bad. But to the soul, this isn't necessarily true.  Many brilliant people thrive on messiness. Steve Jobs, Albert Einstein and Mark Twain all had chaotic workplaces. For many geniuses, what looks like a tangled mess is actually fuel for their creativity. For others, that same mess is a creative block.   To approach the Soul's Home® ingredient – Neatness soulfully ask, “Do I need order, or creative chaos to nourish my soul?” Make sure your answer comes from your soul not, your ego. If you're messy your ego wants you to stay messy because it's afraid of what will happen if you tidy up. If you're neat, your ego wants you to stay neat because it's afraid of what will happen if you loosen up. Allow your soul to decide if neat or creative chaos will set you free.   For me, what feeds my soul depends on what phase of my soul's work I'm in. When I create, I make a mess by surrounding myself with everything that could help me. And, I might not shower, make my bed or put away the dishes for days while I focus all my energy on birthing my idea. But when I'm done creating and ready to show the world, I clean up and organize so I'm effective in carrying out my vision. What about you? What do you need for your soul to fly high? If your soul needs organization but you have chaos or you need a mess but have organization, your spiritual work is cut out for you. We'll address what happens if you live with others who are opposite from you another time. But for now, the soulful key is to be respectful of your differences and agree on what areas of the house will be messy or neat.   I hope you'll be able to find a soulful balance between neat and messy because I want your home to feed your soul.

    How important are pets to your soul's purpose? I love the movie, “A Street Cat Named Bob” because it shows what I mean about the Soul's Home® ingredient – Household Member Harmony. In your Soul's Home®, household members including pets support you in living your soul's purpose. The movie is based on the true story of James Bowen – a street musician and recovering heroin addict whose family has rejected him. James finds a wounded cat outside his London flat. After trying to find the owner, James nurses the cat back to health, adopts him and names him – Bob. Bob follows James on to the bus as he rides to Covent Garden to play guitar. People are so enamored by Bob that James makes more money than he ever has. From then on, James and Bob are inseparable. Bob the cat gives James the support and inspiration he needs to make it through the drug addiction withdrawal and lead a sober life. Without Bob, James likely would have died from drug addiction. It's now 10 years later and Bob & James live in a London home where James writes books about his miracle. For James, the household member in his Soul's Home® was a matter of life and death. Bob literally saved his life. While your life situation may not be as dire, if you do have a pet, give her or him a hug right now and say, “Thank you for feeding my soul.”   If you feel moved, write about this below because sharing is good for your soul.

    What do you do in the heat of the moment? About 30 years ago, I set out to change how I felt and what I did in the heat of the moment. You know what I mean – someone's trying to pick a fight with you or says something totally off base or is in distress and your ego provides a knee jerk reaction that makes things worse!    I hated those situations because I'd be left with a lingering feeling of inadequacy. So, I devised a plan. Whenever I'm in the heat of the moment, I say to myself, “May my soul's expression easily flow through my thoughts, feelings, words and actions.” I repeat it over and over until the response just naturally flows. It's an odd experience because the right words will just come out of my mouth without me even thinking them first.    To do this, let go of your ego and allow your soul to take over. Allow yourself to be a puppet controlled by your soul. Saying, “May my soul's expression easily flow through my thoughts, feelings, words and actions,” puts your ego on notice that it's time to step back and let your soul take over. This has never failed me. Whenever I remember to repeat that phrase, I always move forward in a way that feels aligned with my soul. The hardest part is remembering to say the phrase in the heat of the moment. But when I do, I always feel relieved and the best of outcomes result for both me and the other person.  I'd love for you to try this at home and if you feel so moved, write about your experience below because sharing is good for your soul.

    Got Pesky Household Members? 3 Things You Can Do to Turn Pesky into Pleasu

    Got pesky household members?   Last week, we applied the three choices you always have to things you don't like about your house. But what if the thing you don't like is a pesky household member? Let's face it. It's hard to live with other people! Heck, sometimes I find it hard to live with myself! So, let's use the three choices to turn pesky household members into pleasures. Should you: 1. Live with it 2. Lobby for change  3. Leave First, think about your soul's purpose for the short term – what I call the little p. If you need help figuring out your little p, check out Episode 05. Once you know your little p, ask if “living with it” makes sense. For example, is your soul is calling you to focus on something outside of the pesky relationship for now, say, a project at work or finishing school or caring for someone else? If it is, unless the pesky person is stopping you from focusing on this, your soul may be calling you to live with the pesky person, as is, until your other calling is complete. But if your soul is calling you to address this pesky relationship, you are left with two choices: lobby for change or leave. Today, leave is often the go-to choice. And leave makes sense if there's physical abuse for example. But for your garden variety pests, your soul will likely call you to try lobbying for change first. “Oh, darn you, soul! It would be so much easier to leave or ask them to leave!” And maybe you will be called to leave eventually. But for now, if your soul is calling you to lobby for change there is spiritual purpose in your home and your relationship so lobbying for change will feed your soul. “Good!” You say, “Now, I can tell that pesky person what they should do.” Not so fast. The choice to lobby for change in a relationship has two components. First, look within yourself to clarify the outcome you want and acknowledge how you need to change. Only then can you lovingly explain to your pesky person what you need from them and why it's important to you.  As difficult as it may be, you'll have the most success if you avoid blaming, listen fully and expect to repeat this process several times. This is all easy to say but I know from experience, very difficult to do. If you ever meet my husband, he'll confirm that I'm not always great at this. My wish for you is that the two of you grow spiritually through this process. If you feel moved, write about this below because sharing is good for your soul.

Will I be able to make this my Soul's Home® or a Soul's Home® for someone else?   2. Is this project worth the financial risks?  3. Is this how you want me to spend my time?  If you still feel called to proceed, each time you run into an issue ask your soul how to approach it. For help hearing your soul, check out Episode 3.

In October of 2000, I bought a one–bedroom condo in Arlington, Virginia from HUD for $47,000.  The walls and ceilings were stained with cigarette smoke, bad DIY paint and graffiti. The kitchen was unusable, and the bathroom had a peep hole from the closet, red and green lights and a sink clogged with 161 pennies!  I lived in the house during the renovations eating take out, showering at the gym and brushing my teeth at the kitchen sink. My life felt upside-down because my stuff was in disarray and all I did in my “free” time was work on the house. I had no social life and forget about dating! I didn't have the money to hire a contractor, so I did most of the work myself with the help of my parents, friends and co-workers. Having so many people helping fed my soul but it was a long and exhausting process!   Even though I made about $100,000 when I sold it, it's one of those things I'm glad I did but never want to do that way again. In the end, I got my Soul's Home® and the satisfaction that I had transformed a mess into something beautiful. But I'll never live in a house while I'm renovating again or do it myself. It's too disruptive and can suck the life out of  you. It wouldn't have been worth it if it wasn't part of my spiritual purpose.   I moved into my husband's house from there so next week we'll talk about how to approach the decision to move into a spouse's house.

Our money corner was uninspiring. It felt suffocating to look at the black TV screen and the clutter. Ironically, I felt the same way about money in my business – suffocated by more going out than coming in. I wanted Eric and I to feel good about our money corner and our money.     We started by mounting the T.V. on the wall. Just that felt better because it alleviated the cluttered look. Eric and I picked out a sailboat picture to cover the TV. Then I hid the cords and added water themed family photos and nick-knacks. Eric and I both feel much better about our money corner now. But the big question is whether it's increased our money flow.   Right after we made the changes, I got a new client and Eric was promoted. I can't say for sure that we wouldn't have gotten them anyway, but now I feel better about our money corner AND better about money – so I'll call this whole exercise a success!   I hope you can feel good about your money corner and your money. Next time, I'll show you how I covered the TV with the picture. In the meantime, if you need my help buying or selling a home click Contact Me to get in touch.  Until next week, I wish you well on your journey.

    How much can you afford to spend on a house? Let's take a soulful look at how much to spend on a house. Whether you're getting a quick estimate online or working with a mortgage professional for a more thorough approach, beware – the number you get may be higher than what your soul is calling you to spend. You see, the bank's approval is based on the statistical likelihood you won't default on the loan. Because most people will stop paying other bills before they stop paying the mortgage, the amount the bank says you can spend may be higher than your soul's limit. But in order for your home to be in Financial Balance, what it costs must leave you enough to feed your soul in other ways.   To approach the mortgage limits soulfully, consider what your soul is calling you to do now and in the future. Then ask your ego to investigate how much you'll need for these soul callings and crunch the numbers going in and out each month. Once your ego has looked at all possibilities, sit down with your soul and ask what amount your soul is calling you to spend on a house. It will likely be significantly lower than what the bank says you can spend. But that's ok, the bank is not your soul.

    Is Your Home an Investment? Find Your Answer in the Soul's Home® Approach

    Should you think of your home as an investment? Let's start by defining Investment. Financially, an investment is spending money in order to gain income or profit. Certainly, if you're in the rental or flipping business, you're purchasing to generate income or profits so, it wouldn't make sense to buy unless the house was a good financial investment.   But if buying a house to live in, your primary purpose is not income or profit so, should you be concerned with making a profit when you sell? Your ego will scream “Yes”! But I challenge you to pose this question to your soul before you buy. It's interesting that we expect to make money from our homes when we typically don't expect to profit from other things we buy rather, we know they'll go down in value. But because a home is expensive AND we hear of others who “made a lot of money” when they sold, we may anticipate feeling shame if we don't. Let's transcend this dilemma by considering another definition of investment: devoting time, talent, or energy for a purpose.   Your Soul's Home® is where you're best able to use your talents and energies towards your soul's purpose. Your Soul's Home® is an investment in YOU. Don't short-change yourself by prioritizing speculative profits over investing in you and your family.   To be soulful, first understand the spiritual purpose for your new home. Is it to raise a happy and healthy family? Have space that allows and inspires you to create? Recharges you when you come home from work? Whatever that purpose is, your soul will want you to know your home will fulfill it before considering profits. This isn't to say that you shouldn't be mindful of money. On the contrary, your Soul's Home® will be in financial balance by leaving you enough to feed your soul in other ways and when you're ready to sell if you bought soulfully and sell soulfully, you'll have the best chance of profiting.   Next week, we'll talk about Selling High Soulfully. In the meantime, if you'd like more about the Journey to Your Soul's Home®, click the link to my website because I'd love to see you there!

    How much space do you need for boomerang kids when you downsize? When we were looking to downsize from our three-level townhome into a small 2 bedroom condo, I feared I’d be a horrible parent if we didn’t get a place with enough bedrooms for our three adult children. None of them lived with us but I felt an overwhelming obligation to have rooms just in case they all needed to.  Click Here to Rate and Review   Subscribe to my Youtube Channel: Soul's Home® TV   Continue your Journey to Your Soul's Home®: Website | Meetup | Facebook   Soul's Home® TV Team: Videographer: Austin James/ neurosoul11@yahoo.com Hair & Makeup: Xiomara & Angelo/ www.HairMakeupPhotography.com Video Editing: Deson Cunado/ https://www.desoncunado.com/ Video Production: Claire Cultura/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/claire-cu...

    Buying a house together as a married couple is complicated enough. If you’re not married there’s even more to iron out. On top of agreeing on the house, location, sharing expenses, and merging stuff, an unmarried couple faces more complex property ownership laws, judgments by others on moral and religious grounds, and possibly their own commitment issues. These complexities may cloud your soul’s voice causing your ego to decide to buy together when it’s not soulful or NOT buy when it would be soulful.  Click Here to Rate and Review   Subscribe to my Youtube Channel: Soul's Home® TV   Continue your Journey to Your Soul's Home®: Website | Meetup | Facebook   Soul's Home® TV Team: Videographer: Austin James/ neurosoul11@yahoo.com Hair & Makeup: Xiomara & Angelo/ www.HairMakeupPhotography.com Video Editing: Deson Cunado/ https://www.desoncunado.com/ Video Production: Claire Cultura/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/claire-cu...
