2024 is set to be a landmark year in the story of our family. To celebrate the milestone of cement foundations being poured for our house we decided to honour our intentions for this building by creating a little ceremony on site. People often talk about building the house of their dreams; no question we are hoping to create a beautiful home but our intentions for this future space go beyond that, beyond us. One wintry night around the kitchen table, each of us wrote down our hopes and aspirations for the house, for our lives with in and for our relationship to it. We shared ideas of gratitude, inclusivity, fun, love, laughter, honesty, abundance, and warmth. We spoke about it as a place we would have midnight feasts, stay up late talking, drinking, dancing, crying, and laughing. For us this place will be more than a home, it will be a place to meet, to gather with others, a sanctuary to share, a hub of creativity, a place of rest, of calm. We will fill it with music, the smells of cooking, and the hum of ideas being exchanged. We locked up our thoughts in a red box and drilled it into the substructure, ready to be encased in cement forever. If manifesting is the act of making something happen by imagining it and consciously thinking that it will happen, then I believe we imbued this future space with soul, with purpose and with love that night. And in keeping with our avowed sentiments, we look forward to welcoming you all to a kick ass party there at some point! ♥️
