When we bought our first home several years ago, we spent many hours buying furniture and decorating each room. When we were finished, it felt really good to walk throughout the house, and see how our many choices came together so well.
Even though the house looked the same from the outside, the inside looked very different from the homeowners before us.
It got me thinking about all the joyful effort that goes into creating a wonderful living space, that perfectly reflects what is important to the people residing there.
We all have different preferences, tastes and styles that inspire us toward our particular selections.
Just as we give attention to our homes, its important to give attention to whats going on internally as well.

What would you add to the list?
The Cathie Barash Blog 
I would add “be friendly to all who cross your path but be very selective as to who you invite to be close” 😀
Love it! Thanks for sharing your wise insights. Being discerning is so important! 🙂
This is lovely, Cathie xxxx
Thank you Dianne! Great to witness the joy you’ve had in creating your home, and the daily appreciation of it! Such a fun space! 🙂
A great list. How about adding ‘share at least one hug every day’? 🙂
Excellent Eliza! Regular hugs is a great list and life addition! Thanks for sharing it! 🙂
Encourage creativity!
Encouraging and expressing creativity is wonderful! 🙂
It’s absolutely true – you need a safe space to cultivate your energie and creativity.
Beautifully stated! Thank you! 🙂
You’re welcome!
Maybe something like: “Trust the benevolence of the universe.” – But that goes hand in glove with “Replace negative thoughts with positive ones.”, doesn’t it…?
Thank you for those beautiful reminders, dear Cathie! I also enjoyed very much your description of decorating and enjoying the space of your, at that time, new home. 🙂
Much love,
Steffi
Love it “Trust the benevolence of the universe.” Feels good just saying it! Thank you Steffi! 🙂
