After almost 4 years of living together post divorce decision, tomorrow, Saturday, August 30 is the day my ex-husband moves out of Hummingbird House!!!
This is a HUGE energy shifting moment for me; I am ecstatic! (And I know there is also grieving and more healing for me to do.)
The first thing I plan to do to make Hummingbird House my own, is hang this tapestry on a main wall of the open kitchen/ dining/ living room.
(Photo credit: “Kat Release” a tapestry in the “Queer Temple” series by Cai Quirk [they/them or ey/em], a genderqueer/fluid multi-disciplinary artist.)
To me this Tapestry ROARS about claiming MY VOICE and MY SPACE.
There are paint swatches on the tapestry in the photo because I will paint the white wall behind it a turquoise-ish green, in honor of the throat chakra.
I’m not only reclaiming the primary common space in my home, I’m reclaiming the way I want to live and be with my boys.
This room has always been dominated by a loud television set- even though I wanted to raise my kids without television. There will be no television, no Lay-z-boy, no large couch pointed towards the addictive screen.
In addition to the tapestry, the focal point of this room will now be the wood stove, and the windows that look out onto evergreen trees. And the kitchen table, where my sons and I are actually going to cook and eat meals together again.
Blessings and Courage
Betti
P.S. Any good energy you wish to send to me, my ex, and my two teenage sons as we all navigate this move would be so appreciated!
P.P.S. I’d love to hear your divorce tales…
