Change happens.  Sometimes it happens to us, visited upon our lives by an external source, and sometimes it happens within us, as a new dream or an impulse that expands our outlook. Sometimes the change is something we wanted, like a new job. Sometimes it is something we thought that we didn’t want, like a divorce. 

Sometimes we even get so stuck in a pattern and an unconscious habit that we forget that change is always on its way. 

Change is inevitable.  We must be open to it, even as it seeks us.  And as the interior design of our souls shift, the interior design of our homes must shift along with it to support, nurture and sustain us as we become more aligned with our soul’s calling, message and expression.

Countless books, articles, and lectures have given theories about the mysterious lost continent of Atlantis. It seems that in “New Age” literature  everything originated in Atlantis. Where does this come from? The source of the Atlantis story goes back centuries to a handful of pages in “Plato’s  Dialogues.” Plato, who was born somewhere around 423 BCE, was a Greek philosopher, poet, and mathematician. He wrote a story called “Critias,” where he describes the Island of Atlantis. 

In the story, Critias is talking with Socrates, Timaeus, and Hermocrates. He tells them a story, told to him by his grandfather, also named Critias, who heard the story from his grandfather, Dropides (young Critias' great grandfather) who heard the story from his friend and distant cousin, Solon. Solon heard the story from an Egyptian priest while he was traveling through Egypt. The Egyptian priest heard the story from another priest who said that it had been passed down through 9,000 years of previous priests who had been told by survivors of the great deluge. 

Your home has become a trash can. The trash is clutter. Clutter is anything that no longer supports you. Anything can be clutter--clothes, electronics, books, people, and activities are clutter if they no longer suit you. When there is clutter in your home, the effect of the disorder is chaos. It affects your peace of mind, health and relationships.

We need to take advantage of every possible opportunity that resonates with us--to show up--to not just think about it. The era of data collection is over. We have all read the same books, we have all listened to the same tapes. We all get the concept. Now, we have to turn it into action.

What is keeping you in bondage today?
We were each born with a seed of potential, a seed of possibility. That seed was planted within us, even before we opened our eyes to this expression of life. That seed has the potential to flourish and to grow, or if we don't find our joy, that planted seed of potential, can fade and show up as depression, discontent, anger, and more.
