Episode notes:
There are times when I feel truly heart centered, coming from a place of loving kindness with the work that I do. This I felt when Helping a client overwhelmed with grief with decisions on what to keep, what to give away and creating a serenity space in her home, ready for staging to sell and moving on with her life.
I assisted a client who was needing help with getting her property ready for staging to sell. She’s creative and musical and recently lost her husband and soul mate. There were so many ornaments, photos and artifacts, memories of him and their beautiful life together. She had decided to sell and the first part of this process was to sort, organise and clear some parts of the house in preparation for staging photographs.
This emotionally loaded activity is an important part of the transitional process. The grief of both loosing a loved one and for yourself moving from one home to another. The client told me she was overwhelmed with it all and needed my assistance.
I delight in helping people create a serenity space. Areas which are mindfully dedicated to honoring someone, something, maybe an event or an intention of one’s life in the future. I work in a compassionate way.
From my part I provided active listening. As we worked together, making choices with the individual items, she shared with me how grief had affected her, what changes there now were in her life and her intentions for her new life.
Transitions, life’s turning points, key events marking our journey. The process of deciding what to keep as special, bringing us joy and good memories. Or things we no longer enjoy despite their financial value, or nostalgic attachment. Items we’ve kept ‘just in case’ yet that day never happened and deciding now to dispose of them . Every item has energy. Every decision takes energy. Each physical movement to pack, place in the recycling box, or collection of items which will be passed onto a new owner. We forget how much emotional and physical energy is expended with this process, whether you’re doing it alone or with a friend/professional.
I spent the day helping her pack those special ornaments away, memories that will be unpacked and displayed afresh in her new home. Listening to her wonderful stories of life together, over tea and biscuits sitting on the balcony with birds chattering near by.
This is one way I work creating Serenity home spaces taking pause moments, soothing you into the embrace of now.
Client’s response:
” Thanks again for your invaluable assistance today. It was the momentum I needed to get the ball rolling out of the unstuckness as I had felt so overwhelmed.”
Try this episode for ‘size’, pun intended!

Serenity Spaces are divine sacred areas dedicated to something we cherish, or wish to intent within our life. The Solstice is an ideal time of year to take a moment for self care and mindfulness of who we are, what we are grateful for and what’s right in the world!
