Last week we studied private Jewish home traditions in class.  I literally wrote 25 questions fo the Rabbi in the margins of my notebook.  Many were along the lines of "what does one do with the Shabbat candles when you go to services on Friday night?  My hands were poised over my computer keyboard about ready to fire off with all the questions when suddenly I realized that the answers were not really important.

I can figure it out by myself — and that is part of the fun of it all.

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about home as a sacred space — both from the perspective of what goes on in my home and how well it is arranged.  I recently (inspired by one of my clients who is the host of Fun Shui on HGTV) redid my bedroom.  I’m used to having my room be a mess.. now I’ve cleaned it out and reclaimed the space.  Jame and I seem to be getting along better since I’ve done it.  The room is more peaceful. 

I’m now working on the rest of my house to see what I can do to make it more of a spiritual home for my family.

Any thoughts?
