Spirit House

New joys and doors have been opening.

..maybe the coming of 2012

Just found out that a little over an hour away in Georgetown NY is a Spirit House

SPIRIT HOUSE!

Built on sacred ground during a ten year period, 1855-1865, by Timothy Brown for his family under Spirit direction. ...oh how I lovelove this!

It was constructed as a residence and for Spiritualists meetings.

...holding my heart

It's for sale!!

A wood frame structure. The exterior features 2x4's arranged vertically and scalloped at regular intervals. Giving the Spirit House a highly textured surface making it hard to tell how it was constructed.

Mr. Brown was directed by Spirit how to hold his chisel at certain angles to make the scallops in the wood...said to keep bad spirits away.

It has three tiered cornice with downward pointing keys.
Keys to his heart I am sure xo

 The cup marks are thought to resemble ancient megaliths. 

back door

where I want my coffee/bake shop and bookstore

 peeking in, it would be absolutely perfect!

felt very strong energy here 

sacred paths through the woods around the back of the property

 soothing energy on this path in particular

right next door!

Looking in where I would have my morning tea..sit and read away the day.

For now, the Spirit House is alive in my imagination.

But... 

...you never, ever, know.

Lovely magic filled days..

Some days I jump out of bed and gogogo

Mornings I pay attention. Sit in stillness.

And anoint my day with positive thoughts and intention..

Magic happens.

..Today is a delightful day. With gratitude I choose love, joy and freedom.

Opening my heart to allow wondrous surprises to flow into my life in expected and unexpected ways.

The secret...
..so love treasured secrets
To be able to see the Magic in what sometimes appears to be the ordinary.

Delights at every turn during time spent with a dear friend this week

old cemeteries with thin crooked stones
..my very favorite of all

 tiny bookshops tucked in the middle of nowhere

..feeling like this all folds up and disappears at night

 perfectly chosen ones that jump off the shelf into your arms

 book of books

thought I'd just die

secret healing waters

energy flow

seeing in

fountain of youth?

Manna
elixir of life

paralleled dimensions

perfect picnic spot

jasmine tea in a tiny glass on a tin roof

paths that lead to everywhere

 space rocks with special powers

 heart trees

HEART TREES

beatingasone

far off lands 

heart leaves dancing in the night

If you are out there Spirits, come say hi and give a nod to this oh so lovely day..

..don't think this little heart of mine could have fluttered faster or more joyfully


With love and gratitude for all days.

Bloom where you are planted..

Wednesday two new friends came into my heart

Kate and Mark follow this here crazy blog and traveled all the way from Michigan for us to meet and to see my little town!
Something Mark said propelled me right outta that funkyfunk I was in.
He asked if I really appreciated where I live?

My Milli girl being free to go wherever she wants has been messing with my head for the past few months..
Thinking maybe that's what I want too.
Something more. Better.
Mark's words hit hard.
It's all right here.
Kissed by The Universe with good friends and four solid seasons of beauty and charm.
A place I'm not forced to live. Chosen all by myself the second I first came through.

Kate
..love her!
