It’s Where You Hung Your Hat

“Home is where you hang your hat.”

You may have had one home, or you may have had many.

You may have actually hung your hat there.

Home is your safe space, where life happens, and in it, all the things which give it your version of the meaning behind everything that is yours.

Where Your Heart Is

“Home is where the heart is.”

You felt many things there, a huge range of feelings and emotions and triumphs and defeats and everything in between.

Hopefully, home reminds you of love and the many kinds of it.

The Greeks have descriptive words for love, which convey the shades and nuances of this near-magical thing that we call love. Spiritual love, romantic love, brotherly love, and many more kinds of love, there are.

Home is where your heart is and where your memories live in your own mental image of love. You may have a space in your mind and being that feels like home.

The good memories, and the great ones, are the ones to explore, as you “bio-sculpt” and design from the inside out, the spaces that remind you of all the good parts of love. You can recapture and build upon these, bringing history and more meaning to the now.

Your History of “Home”

You may have watched the first men to land on the moon and sat there with your first girlfriend or boyfriend.

it might have been your parent’s home, and being one of their children, it was also yours.

Maybe it was your first home with your first partner and it may have that special meaning which includes the feelings of bringing home your firstborn to your own safe place.

The good times, the good feelings, the ones you may wish to capture and bring into the design of your creation of the place to hang your hat and your heart, and this is part and parcel of “bio-sculpting”, designing from the inside out.

It obviously doesn’t end there, but what better place is there from which to begin? Build on experience and expand from there, from the inside out. From concept to creation to manifestation, can be your “planifestation”. Conceive, believe, and achieve.

Sketch

Sketch the space, the furniture, and even people in rooms with the good feelings.

Where were the windows and the door(s)?

What covered the floor?

What colors were there?

What could you hear and smell that you liked? Music? Conversations? Your favorite food? Your mother’s creations in the kitchen?

Are they exactly like how you like them now, or would you make some changes?

Start with feelings and return to feelings; it’s not an art project or a contest.
