Three Objects I Love


Listen Later

I would love to share the story of the three objects that I love and the meaning they have for me.
First of all there’s a gold and silver bowl. I happened to see it in a brochure someplace and I just had to have it. And the reason I had to have it is it reminded me of a song from Girl Scout Camp, which was: Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver and the other gold.
The second object I selected that is meaningful to me is a painting that my Aunt Rose painted. It was her first oil painting, her first painting. But when I saw or heard about this painting that she had given to her neighbor because the neighbor’s friend had passed so Rose gave her this painting.
The third object that I selected was some wallpaper. I recently moved back into my childhood home. The house is entirely painted but the house had always had wallpaper in the dining room. So I was looking for a wallpaper and as soon as I saw this particular wallpaper I said that’s it. It’s a picture of pussy willows but they are filled with, they have green, a red – a pink/red, and gold, which are the colors I love. Since I do Feng Shui it was also a reminder of having life force energy in the house, and the energy was joyful, whimsical, lovely, fun – which is about the life that I’m living, and want to continue to live, as I live in this house and go beyond. And since it’s a little different, people respond to it and everyone seems to like it.
