My Sacred Space

My Simple Abundance (Sarah Ban Breathnach) journey discussed the need to have a sacred place. A place to go to meditate, to be quiet, to pray - a place to simply be. This place needs to speak to me. It needs to trigger all those feelings of peace and tranquility, away from electronics and distractions. Decorated with things that have meaning; things that sing to my heart.

But where?

My front porch. It's outdoors. Outdoors always feeds my soul. There are birds to sing to me and flowers to perfume the air. But it needed just a little work. 

Before - This is the view sitting in my rocking chair looking out. 

So I moved the garden gnomes and flamingos and brightened it up with some flowers. 

But I took it just a little further. I put a potted flower on the table and a wonderful sage candle. 

And there you go. My sacred place - my zen.
