a sense of trust, volume 44
{my attempt to capture 52 photos that represent trust – my word for 2011}.
this photo represents trust for a few reasons.
one: i do love my home. i feel safe there. safe to be, safe to be me. i've been thinking about the people who will live in this apartment after i leave, whenever that is, and how they are so lucky because they will be getting a space that will be full of the most amazing energy.
two: for a long while now, i've been idly wondering how to bring more light into my living room. a few weeks ago, i had a vision of a canopy of twinkle lights. oh my goodness, the vision was beautiful. as is usual, the vision looked slightly different in my head (slightly more magical, i must confess) than it did in reality – it might need a few more tweaks before i am done – but the lights definitely add even more warmth and coziness to the long dark evenings.
three: i am trusting that time and energy spent on this project is not a distraction from the millions of other projects i could be working on in each moment – that working on it is helping with everything else i do, even if i cannot see how just yet.
i love this! someday we will figure out the magical translation between the way it looks in your head to real life mechanics.
Beautiful!
I’ve been wanting to do that in my apartment’s living room for ages. Now I’m further inspired!
So lovely to give good energy to the people who come after you… :DD
love the lights! your place looks so inviting!
Helping to “light the way”?
Warm photo.
Thinking of you. One love, my dear.
you. are. so. cool.
i love this blog!
it never ceases to enchant me.
it’s either your atlas, your spirit or your art that always uplifts and delights…
are you blushing? well you should be.
i know i’m gushing. but it just makes me happy.
and i never apologize for being happy!!!
love and hugs,

Wonderful warmth and light in this. I can see how your home makes you feel safe and cozy!
looks pretty!
ahh, it all looks dreamy and divine.
Ooo…This is GORGEOUS, MAGICAL, Elizabeth… A canopy of twinkle lights… How are you doing this, how do/with what do you have the lights hanging from the ceiling? I love this idea… And I love your wanting to make more light in the world… You do so much of that already, my friend :o) ((HUGS))
Your canopy of light is beautiful!
