Color a sacred circle. In Sanskrit, mandala means “sacred circle.” Mandalas have been used for centuries as aids in healing, their circular form help organize perception, thought and physical responses in positive ways.

Let’s shift the energy together 🙏 and find some relief from the stress and anxiety of last week’s turmoil. The recent winter storm cast its spell on many. Across Texas, millions went without power and left many unable to heat their homes, cook meals, work remotely or even sleep.

Our kids, who live in Austin, Texas have been stressed out and fed up with the power outage and no water scenario for over a week, we talked about how to make it through the tough times.

Allie nudged me (to what we refer to) as to ‘Kondo’ the space. Marie Kondo’s The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up is a guide we love. Over the past few months, Allie had focused on clearing the clutter from her apartment and was fresh with the ‘what sparks joy mindset’.

I believe affirmations go hand-in-hand with ‘clear the clutter’ concept. To use an affirmation is about getting organized, just instead of kitchen counters, it’s with our words and intentions— it’s about saying more with less. An affirmation is a short, clear, positive statement that creates clarity, forms intention, and guides you. These short positive statements asks you to cut through the clutter of your life and focus your mind on one essential truth at a time.
