[ the absolutely! SPACES issue ]

  "Your sacred  space is where you can find yourself again and again.”  ~Joseph Campbell

I recently celebrated the big 5-0 and my gift to myself was to create a personal home office space very different from my office workspace. It is a space that I can really personalize as no one will ever be in there except me. Carla Powers’ article on ‘Energizing your Workspace’ was certainly timely and interesting for this birthday girl. Let’s face it, office SPACE, whether at home or at work is where many of us spend much of our time, so why not make it our own and absolutely! enjoy it.

I have a simple relationship with space; I either love it or I hate it. Sure, I may be sensitive, but the truth is where you spend your time greatly effects how you spend your time. Have you ever stopped to think about it? If you suffer from sleepless nights in your bedroom, lack of focus in your home office or take-out cravings in your kitchen, maybe it’s time to consider an “extreme space makeover.”  This summer, start by giving the spaces in your life a performance review. If you find they aren’t doing their job, absolutely! take charge because when you define your space, you author your story. From how to Zen your office to options for “space” vacations, this issue of IN THE LOOP is all about SPACES. Enjoy! And don’t forget to share your  stories, comments and ideas on absolutelyInTheLoop.com!.
