Power colours

It's no secret that my energy has been at a bit of a low ebb for the past couple of years, it's been a rough time on the quiet. Redecorating this room has had me thinking again of how important your surroundings are and the effect that colours especially have on your frame of mind and energy levels. It's not a colour that I had expected to choose for the room, this bright blue, when thing else in the house is pale pink. But I felt a really strong intuitive pull to it, and listened to that, and I think it's because I could feel the energy it would give me.

It's got me to thinking about other rooms in the house and if there is a way I can decorate or redecorate them so that they are responding to and giving me more strength and power.

It put me in mind of one of my favourite films, the love witch, and how Elaine's flat is decorated in that - all colors drawn from the thoth tarot - and how her rooms represent and extension of her power. Lots of red and blue feature here as well. 

It's taking all my of strength not to start plastering everything in red paint now. 

I wonder if all of the pink I have decorated our house with had been a response to my depression and low energy, and craving comfort. Perhaps this is the light at the end of the tunnel! 

I have run out of wallpaper paste, again! So still have a few feet of wall to paper and paint, but I am definitely getting there. Watch this space, there might be more big changes coming up. 

Today I am grateful for:

1. Returning to myself

2. Beautiful sunshine

3. Will and the girls holding the fort and making lunch while I decorate

4. Patrick Wolf's new EP, which arrived thorough my door today

5. Power colours
