The room was an orangy-yellowy candly glow. And despite the flurry of meetings and raised blood pressure, my mind came to a near-stop at the sight of soft flickering light. My thoughts were clear. My heart relaxed. And everything slowed. Slowed so peacefully. So soulfully. All the everythings just vanished. It was enough to put me to sleep, in the best way, for the rest of the day.

I felt still.

Very still.

I resolved to create this powerful and inspiring stillness in my own home. To give myself permission to slow. To create a sanctuary for myself. To make Space.

By 8pm, the candles were lit.

And life felt so much easier.

My worries melted and dripped with the wax that ran down and over and onto fabric. And it was ok. Accidents were ok. Messes were ok.

I was ok.
