My Gentle Voice Within
I
love this phrase from the book, The Rhythm of Life, by Matthew Kelly; he writes
that our gentile voice within us is our truest guide that will direct us to our
essential purpose in life. If you just
listen to this gentle voice within you it will guide you and provide you with
peace and happiness.
In
order to get to this point you need to examine your needs. One area that I am looking at in my life is a
quiet area to spend time reading, writing and reflecting. This is not an area I want to use for
schoolwork or for crafting. I want it to
be my quiet space. A place for
silence/solitude/simplicity!
I
think I found the perfect space this week in the family room. The family room is one of those rooms in our
house that we really don’t use that much.
I
put an old desk by a window and I love looking out the window and thinking and
reading. However it looks awkward in my family
room. So one evening as I was reflecting
and dreaming in my little corner of the house I made a list of what changes I
would like to make in order to create a family room that I really love!
