Family Christmas Advent Calendar - Day 17

"At Christmas, all roads lead home"

Gingerbread house decorating is a tradition that my sister an I have been doing for years together. It’s so nice to sit down and take time to spend quality time with one and other. As she’s start to get in her twenties, it seem as if she getting to old to decorate gingerbread houses. It’s only natural that certain activities loss their charm with age. 

I’m a big kid at heart, so I will always have that childish charm. This year when I was grocery shopping with my dad I found a gingerbread village. I though to myself how original, and it was the perfect ginger house to make this year. We ended up having a blast laugh at each others houses. But hey we’re not pastry chefs! In the end they all come out so cute. We put the gingerbread house on different cake stands of different heights. I made some trees out of icing and pretzel sticks. With a pool of icing sugar cover in white sprinkles to make it look like snow around the houses. 



Since it’s Manifestation Monday I have a story about a  memory that came to me from many many years ago. I was around 10 or 11 years old searching high and low for an Aqua CD. I was looking everywhere I though it would be and place where I didn’t think it couldn’t have been. After two hours looking for this CD I gave up. I decided to turn to god. Yes that how badly I wanted to find that CD, I wanted to listen to the song “Barbie Girl”! Back then YouTube didn’t exists so the only way to listen to a song was with a CD. So like I said I decided to pray. I went into the bathroom with the light off, said the Our Father and ask to help me find the CD. Then I decided to let it go. Knowing that I had put finding the CD in God’s hands. To be honest within minutes I had found the CD and I wasn’t even looking for it anymore. Back then I had no idea about manifestation or law of attraction. But thinking back that day way manifestation at it finest.

Do you and your family enjoy decorating gingerbread houses during the holidays? Let me know in the comments below :)

Smudging Ritual

Over the weekend my family and I were invited to my cousins, for a house warming party. As I started talking to my mom about what to get her, a Smudging Kit came to mind. Sacred Smoke Bowl Blessing commonly known today as Smudging. It’s a powerful spiritual cleansing technique to purify any space or a brand new home. I had so much fun creating the Smudging Kit. I wanted to share it with you so you can make your own or for family and friend. The kit has all the essential needed smudge stick, small bowl, lighter, candle, feather bundle, and a couple pink quartz to spread the love.  I got excited and started to do some research, I want to know when saging first started, what were the benefits, how often should it be done, where can you buy it and so many more questions. I say that it all started with the Native American to bless an area using sage, flowers and other herbs to clear any unwanted negative energy. This Ceremonial Tradition helps any space feel free of negativ...

21x21 Manifestation Challenge

A couple of week ago I saw a manifestation challenge that I’ve never hear or seen before. It’s called the 5x55 manifestation challenge. When I first found the video on YouTube I was in the Dominican Republic, so I decided when I got back home I would start it.  Basically the 5x55 Manifestation Challenge goes something like this. You decide on something you want to manifest. It could be anything from wanting a new car to getting someone to call. Honestly it could be anything your wonderful heart desires. So once you know what you want to manifest, you put it in a sentence “I’m so happy and grateful to be driving my brand new car” for example. Once you have you sentence you need to write it out 55 times for 5 days. It’s that simple. To be honest my hand hurt but by letting go of that pain, trusting and believing that what your writing will come. Makes all the pain worth it and fade away.   Since you get the idea. I want to share a similar challenge I will be doing for t...

Predominant Colour Energy

Energy is everywhere and apart of everything. For this post I want to explain how colour can affect your energy balance. Different colours have an association with a specific feeling and behaviours in your life. Focusing on specific colour can indicate if you are balanced to who you truly are or want to be. This is a simple technique to use to make you you are on the right path for your personal spiritual journey to enlightenment.   If you would like to know what colour your energy is, listen to my meditation on colour energy to see what your predominant colour is. Colour can give you different feelings and emotions when you look at them. A way to control your energy is by wearing a specific colour for the emotion you want to portray. For example if you would like to feel loved and cherished, when your getting dressed you should reach for the colour....... If you want a claiming home environment surround yourself with the colour blue.   Most of us don't...
