Carrie Jean's Story A woman I'll call Carrie Jean was constantly stressed over finances.
She couldn't stick to her healthy eating plan and had gained 40 pounds in two years.
Depressed and anxious about long-standing family discord, she described her house as a total mess because she just didn't have the energy or interest to keep it up.
Carrie Jean started telephone consultations with me.
Encouraged by our first call, she spent several hours cleaning her place.
Surprised at how much better that made her feel, she bought new curtains and a handful of decorative items at her favorite thrift store.
Within a month, she transformed her "hovel" into a charming home.
She felt more peaceful, enjoyed living there again and could once more be proud to invite a friend inside.
Over the next few months, Carrie Jean continued to report small improvements to her living space.
She gave away clothing and knick knacks that no longer fit her body and lifestyle.
She reported with delight finding just the right items that matched the new, more peaceful and creative self she was creating.
Her mood and finances improved significantly.
She dropped excess pounds.
Her stress levels got lower and lower.
Carrie Jean's modest home became a reflection of the way she was releasing stress and conflict, nurturing herself, and making wise choices for a more peaceful and harmonious lifestyle.
In turn, the harmony and beauty of her home supported Carrie Jean as a peaceful sanctuary in which she could relax, renew and restore herself after the stress of her work activities.
