It's bedtime, the quiet, silent hour when the house finally settles. The shimmering fairy lights guide my way as I make my "rounds" to make sure everything is right.
One last cup of tea, plumping a cushion on the sofa, making sure all candles are out, running a warm, bubbly bath. These rituals, performed almost absentmindedly comfort and reassure me. They are the very essence of being home and fill my heart with peace.I love to open a window and look up to the sky, whisper a prayer, make a wish or two, and listen to the beat of my own heart. Worries are shed as the peaceful darkness wraps around me like a soft, magical Mantra, and I feel a Divine presence stand right by my side...
Love and light always,
PS. Been back since Thursday but have been suffering with SEVERE allergies. I've missed you all and can't wait to visit and catch up on your latest news. Progress on the screened porch has been made, will be sharing Before and After photos quite soon. Here's a sneak preview of one of the doors :0)

ReplyDeleteThis is a very lovely post... I know exactly what you mean about bedtime rituals. You sound very similar to me Alina. I love my home comforts too!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately we will be moving again soon for the summer. I hope we will find a beautiful fairy nest like your home. The porch is looking good by the way. I will return here to see it completed!
If you like, hop back over to my blog again and see the new post I have created. There are a few ghosts there! ;-)
Have a wonderful week.
May blessings and best wishes.

So happy to hear from you Alina, I am so looking forward to seeing the pics of your cabin xx
ReplyDeleteHello, Alina. I have missed your posts. I, too, love my home rituals, however small they may be. There is an honor in being the "keeper" or "protector" of the home, so to say, by doing the small mantras as we go about our daily meanderings. I love that you recognize this and honor them! I look forward to seeing the porch grow - just in time for Summer. Peace. Brianne
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post Alina! So sorry about your allergies ~ I know them well! :(

Dearest Alina,
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulously written post ... oh, I how relish those daily and nightly routines. They do bring a closing to the day and a quietness to the heart and soul, do they not?
Love the bright purple and pink screen door on the Caravan. I firmly believe that a unique front door adds unfathomable whimsy! I am still contemplating ours! :))) Love all your images!
