The Sacred Routine: Why Tending to Your Home is Tending to Your Soul

Image
  "Your home is the temple of your spirit, just as your body is the temple of your soul. To sweep the floor is to clear the mind; to polish the glass is to brighten your vision." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We’ve all heard that self-care is about "filling your cup." But sometimes, the best way to fill your cup is to make sure the kitchen you're sitting in feels like a sanctuary rather than a source of stress.
