Letting go of dreams....

Yes, I actually said that - letting go of dreams.  And that is exactly what I meant to say.  I know we talk a lot about hanging on to our dreams and bringing them to life.  But what happens when one of those little dream buds just doesn't blossom?  I have a couple of those dreams that came to half fruition and now they sit stagnant, reminders that I have a thing half done hanging out there.  It is a ball of energy that has become heavy to hold onto and pointless to do so because I know with certainty that those dreams no longer fit in the life that I have.  So, yes, the time has come for me to set those dreams free from my reality.  I need to purge the related properties, the websites, the research files, the class materials where I attended business management... ALL of that stuff.  And the biggest one.... sell the houses.  I have two houses to sell, maybe three.  By now you may be thinking... "WHAT?  Three houses to sell?  Are you mad?  I don't even have one!"  Well, I hate to tell you but I actually have SIX and I only live in one of them, and only one of the remaining five is rented and productive.  It's a very long story as to the whys of how this came about but the bottom line is, I have to face that the purpose for the houses did not come to fruition and it isn't going to.  So, why have I been so reluctant to do anything about it.  I thought long and hard about that and when it finally hit me, it was really very simple.  It came down to one word - "failure".  I could not find it in me to face failure, and truthfully, I still cannot find it in me to accept failure.  So, I reframed my thinking because I can't just keep hanging fire with four unproductive houses.  Something has to give.  My house venture is not a failure. It was a learning experience and adventure.  I had a goal when I started and the goal moved. Since that journey began, I have adjusted my vision for my future and opted out of the material world and find it now much more important to downsize, maintain minimal debt, own more of my time, work less and live more.

So, I let go of those half-realized dreams and set them free to go to where-ever half-realized dreams go when they are no longer tethered to a life.  I am on a different path now living new dreams.  I have no regrets.  But I do have lots of work ahead of me to sell my houses. ;0)

Homemade Room Freshners

As I am prepping for a workshop in March on essential oils, I have been looking for things to do during the workshop to balance lecture with tactile experiences.  Today I found some neat home made room freshners. The second one uses potpourri  liquid which is too chemical for me but I may just have to figure out how to adapt it... ;0)


Home made room freshner recipes.  Intriguing....

Scented Rocks

Scented rocks make a great air freshener. Mix 1/2 cup salt and 1/2 cup flour in a bowl. Add 1/4 teaspoon of a favorite essential oil, 2/3 cup boiling water and a few drops of a food coloring to create a desired shade. Blend all ingredients, form into balls, and allow to dry.

Alternatively, you can make a small amount of Plaster of Paris (which you can buy at any craft store), using liquid potpourri instead of water. You can buy silicone bakeware in heart, flower and other fun shapes - then pour the liquid Plaster of Paris into the molds and let it dry completely. Pop them out and you have scented rocks. Put them in a mesh bag and hang in your car, your closet, in a drawer, next to the litter box -- anywhere odors happen.

Smelly Jelly

I just love to give this at holiday time - if you take the time, you can make them look very pretty and your friends will go crazy for them.

2 cups concentrated potpourri liquid
4 envelopes Knox gelatin®
1 tablespoon salt (to deter molding)
1/4 teaspoon of food coloring
Heat 1 cup potpourri liquid until almost boiling. Remove from heat. Add four envelopes Knox Gelatin® and 1 tablespoon salt. Stir until dissolved. Add remaining 1 cup potpourri and food coloring to create your desired color. Pour into clean jars and allow to set. If you're in a hurry, lightly cover and refrigerate them to speed the process. Jelly jars with plaid, stripes, and dots are a fun touch, as is adding raffia (available at craft stores) or ribbon around the top.

I hope you try some of these fun and good smelling tips. Sometimes when we have our furry loved ones, we become immune to the odor, but our company does not.
