My therapist always reminds me to focus on the things that I can control. If I’m being honest, lately that list seems to be shrinking. But one thing that I consistently have control over is my sanctuary space and how it makes me feel when I enter it. I want it to embody peace. I want it to feel safe. I want it to feel intentional. I want it to reflect my creativity and love for my community through the things that I put in it. These are scary times filled with uncertainty. But it is my hope that all of our homes become sanctuaries (not through the things we put in them, although plants are nice, but the through our intention). I hope our homes can become spaces where we can recharge so we can have the energy to keep pushing, to love on ourselves, our friends and family, and to fight for a better world than this.
