I love my home and my life.

I love my home, I love my life

There is not a day that I don't walk in my front door that I don't say these words.

"I love my home, I love my life."

This weekend, as I was cleaning and getting ready for my company for Easter, again, I thought this. Every single time I come home, I feel this, and it never gets old, even though I've been here almost nine years. It is because I am still so grateful.

For so many years, as I would cry myself to sleep, 

I would close my eyes and dream about what my home would look like and feel like when I finally had the courage to leave.

I would go through each room in my mind. I would picture the feel of the house, the furniture, and even the paintings on the walls. Yes, in vivid imagination. 

Even when I didn't have the strength to leave my situation, I would buy things and hide them away. I would say, "This is for my new home, a home where I will be happy and at peace." 

Sometimes, when things got really bad, I would sneak and pull out something from my future and hold it. I would close my eyes and picture myself there, and for that moment, I would be okay. It became my escape when he would scream at me that I was worthless or go on a tantrum, I would go to "my home" and envision how it was going to be. He would still be yelling, but I would be gone into my fantasyland. It was how I got through the last two years there. 

I made vision boards, and I cut out pictures of furniture, lamps, and tables. I cut out the places I wanted to go, quotes I wanted to be like, sayings like strong, independent, and free. I put my vision board up in my laundry room so I could see it every day and know this was going to be my future.

When I finally got the courage to leave and found this townhome, I knew I was home. This was the place I've dreamt about. The first night there, surrounded by boxes, exhausted from the move, I sat on the floor and looked around and cried. I was finally free, here I was on my own, free at last! For so many years, I dreamt of this, and here I was, it was overwhelming. 

After I unpacked, I went to yard sales and consignment shops every weekend. Little by little, I got it done, and it came out exactly as I envisioned it. It is light and airy with a beachy feel, it is warm and inviting and I love it more and more each day.

So today, my friends, I am telling you this because you might be in that dark space as well. Maybe you don't think you can do this on your own. Maybe he has told you you are worthless or you can never make it on your own.

I am here to tell you to keep dreaming, have a vision board, buy small things you want to start your new home with, and to dream, dream, dream....

Never stop believing! What you put out will come back to you. Envision the life you want, and it will be.

You can do it, you will do it! And one day you will write to me and say "I love my home" just as I do each and every day.

"Be the change you want to see"
