Find Your Internal Wellspring

Focus on creating bliss in your home and your life. Do you already have these colors in your home? See if any of your colors are the same for your five items or if they are close in hue. Get swatches of these colors together. Put your five colors next to one another to make a joyful palette. You can tweak the shades if you’d like, so that the palette looks harmonious to you. Now look at your home. If you do not, work on how you can decorate your home with these joyful colors to symbolize the blissful ingredients of your life. You can make a poster using the colors of your five joy ingredients. Write a word in each color that is evocative of your five ingredients. Make it lyrical, poetic. Create a beautiful wall hanging with these colors and evocative words. Decorate your home with things that create blissful feelings in you.

Others were more logical, like doing an intentional art project that a child would enjoy. I made the little cartoon characters out of a kit with pieces you shrink in the oven, except I shaped mine into new shapes. I was working as a kindergarten teacher and nanny, so I had lots of opportunities to observe happy children.

Act Of Contrition
