The Floor.....

 The floor is now completed.

After much dusting and cleaning everything is being moved back into place.

 Tarmie wasted no time in seeking out his favourite chair and relaxing after a week of upheaval.

 It feels more like me now.

The other flooring was tatty and  gloomy, which was bringing me down each time I returned home. 

Now it is sleek and much brighter, which will lift my spirits I am certain.....

Getting Closer.....

 Getting closer to being finished as each second passes.......

An Hour On......

 An hour on and things are looking good..........

Here We Go.......

 Here we go.

By the end of the day I shall have the floors done in the living area of the cottage.

 After a week living with the dust and only one room to use it will be a joy to have the home functional once again.

 Not sure how long it will take, but so looking forward to sitting in the front room tonight and enjoying a cleansed and clear space.

 Such a nice feeling to see these first few panels down.

 Transformation in progress........

Come From.....

Come from the heart

Each and every day

Nothing else matters.......

Grandpup....

Grandpup number two arrives home for the first time on Friday.

Just a tiny bit excited.......

My House....

 My house for the next few days will be void of the hideous carpet that was here when I moved in which held a lot of negativity and a dreadful smell from the previous owners.

 The mess and dust that has been caused during this part of the renovation is unbelievable, even though the cats and I hid in the bedroom during the grinding procedure we were still covered in dust.

 I do not do well having to dwell in the upheaval of my home, but the finished look will really transform this open plan living area, I will at last begin to feel that I don't live in a shanty.

 I can live with the two toned kitchen, the fact the each side of the kitchen has different coloured cabinets does not bother me, I find it kind of quirky, but the state of the floors really did make me feel down as no matter what I did inside it still looked shabby.

 Even with the bare concrete the place has more light and I am beginning to see how much the drab old carpet and the paint splattered floor in the kitchen really gave off an air of gloom.

 Only a few more days to wait and finally I will be proud to in allowing visitors enter my little magic cottage..........

Beauty.......

One Of My.....

One of my very first shots of my magpie family.

I adore sharing my home with the beautiful energy that they bring.

They nurture their babies and honour the old.

Watching the way they are with each other is a lesson in authentic love, one that enables me to expand into myself as I watch them in their daily visits.

Being able to sit and watch my bird kin at such close quarters is a gift I am thrilled to be sharing.

It took a lot to move from a shiny and new house in the suburbs to a country cottage in need of so much work and repairs, but to go back into the soullessness of suburbia I would surely wither and die.

Here amongst my constantly transforming home I am growing in ways I never thought possible.

Being surrounded by nature and taking a complete leap of faith to swap new for old was a decision that on more than one occasion I questioned. 

With so much work to do in and around this place I have thought that I took on more than I was able to handle.

But five minutes in my garden eases my worries.

I now live on a tiny piece of heaven......................

My First.....

 My first crop of vegetables are happily growing having managed to survive the relentless summer heat.

 Each morning when I water them send them love and happy growing vibes, no pesticides or chemicals will be used, I simply trust that they will thrive all on their own......

Some Of.....

 Some of my new extended family enjoying their morning feed.

The playfulness these beings bring with them is amazing.

They come as a family, often 30 or more at a time.

 More often than not this area of the garden is a sea of feathers and chirping birds happily sharing a meal.

 The longer I am here the deeper the trust flows.

Some of these little treasures will allow me within touching distance of them now.

That in itself is such a beautiful gift.

To know that they feel safe and protected here.

 There is no better way to start or end a day than sitting outside and watching my colourful visitors.....

It Has Been A Long Time.....

It has been a long time since I have been prompted to write.

So much has been transforming in my world with my change of location from city to country.

Much growth and renewal so much is transforming.

Yesterday saw the cleansing of my humble little property with the removal of a pile of rock left over from the previous owners. 

This simple task has seen a massive change in the energy of the place, what was once an eyesore has now started to look welcoming, the place behind the garden will now be nurtured into a sitting area, under the canopy of the cape lilac tree.

Change is not what many people seek. Some will swap circumstances but never grow, they just remain stuck in repeating the same old patterns but with a different person or new location, few can take on board the road to true transformation, letting go of all that no longer serves them.

My little cottage is so tiny that I have no room for clutter, much of what I moved here with has been sold or just passed on to charity shops.

As I lighten my possessions I lighten my soul further stepping deeper into the truth of my true self.......
