Cleaning is a super powerful act - and there's a reason why we get so fond of cleaning when a new season starts. Like now Spring!
You might wonder why, right? Because now we let go of all the literal dust of the past. Of the cold, of Winter...and literally open our space for something new. Fresh air, fresh flowers, sunshine! And that is a powerful act!
I find it comparable to taking a shower after a bad day. You literally wash everything off that has been weighing you down and made you feel kinda 'dirty and unwell'. And with Spring cleaning we do the same thing for our home.
And let's face it. The home is a sacred place. It's where we spend lots of time, where we sleep, where we cook bake and eat, where we spend time with loved ones, where we work on our business and where we often experience our deepest times of a painful crisis.
I believe the Japanese see their home as a sacred space if I remember that correctly what I read and learned in Marie Kondo's book. And what should I say, I give my home the same importance.
So I am happy to share that I just gave my apartment a fresh round of Spring cleaning and the feeling now is absolutely amazing. There's sunlight shining in, the floors are still a bit wet from sweeping them with water and vinegar cleaner and I honestly love that.
What about you? Have you started your Spring cleaning spree yet or is this still on your agenda?
With love,
Phyllis
