Journey 2:

Picture
Create an imaginary room
that’s all for you.
Nobody else is allowed in your room.
​What does “your room”
look like,
smell like,
​sound like?

Find a comfy chair
​in a quiet place.
Sit down.
CLOSE YOUR EYES...
THINK ABOUT ALL THE THINGS
YOU REALLY REALY LOVE

​not things you think
​
you’re supposed to love.

What things ​make your heart skip a beat when you see them?
​They don’t have to be things that you own,
​just things that you’re drawn to.

The things in your room
can be things from your childhood
​​​that made you feel
​safe and loved.

The things in your room
can be things that you
​dream of owning.

The list
of what you can put in your room
is endless.

​Here is a teeny sampling of choices:

Overstuffed arm chair,
leather recliner,
bean bag chair
or a hammock?


Handmade pottery
​or your Grandma’s bone china tea cups?


Bed with fluffy down comforter,
handmade crazy quilt,
or crisp clean tailored bedding?


Flannel sheets,
linen sheets,
or satin sheets?


A velvet throw,
or an afghan that you knitted or crocheted?


A piano,
a guitar
or a microphone in the corner,
just waiting to be used?


Does your room have books,
art supplies,
games or toys?

How about sporting goods,
a pinball machine,
or a sewing machine?


Does your room have a dog,
a cat
or some other animal
that you once had,
have now,
or would love to own?


Does your room have famous art,
like Claude Monet’s water lily murals,
a country landscape painting
by Grandma Moses,
or a bold Picasso painting?


Tiffany lamps,
old-fashioned street lamp
or sleek modern floor lamps?


Are there beeswax candles
or a fireplace?


Is your furniture traditional,
rustic
or contemporary?


What colors are the walls:
white,
bright bold colors,
muted pastels,
or Ralph Lauren-type earth tones?


Stained glass windows
or gigantic open windows
with sheer billowing curtains overlooking a balcony?


If you open the windows,
do you hear birds chirping,
ocean waves,
or leaves quietly floating to the forest floor?


Now look out the windows.
Do you see a desert,
a forest,
acres of luscious flowers,
fresh herbs,
topiaries,
a secret garden,
mountains,
​or a stream?

These are pieces of the puzzle of who you are.
Have fun with this.
There are no right or wrong answers.
The room you create says a lot about
​who you are,
where you’ve been
​and where you are going.
