Before this program I had experienced several growth lessons. What I discovered from this course was that the universe was supporting me all the way. I have been evolving and this course helped me understand that and continue to grow. Let me explain just a little: following my divorce 17 years ago, I painted the interior of the house yellow(2 shades) and grey(2 shades). I had wanted to capture the light coming through the windows, especially what I call the wall of windows (I'll be renaming it-the new name hasn't come to me. yet). I transplanted ferns and placed them next to the house foundation. I built arches everywhere, out of tall trimmed branches, bent over trees, someone even made a yard entrance arch out of rebar & lattice. I eventually covered all of them with rope lights. During this course, I could look back and see the subtle influence that the universe nurtured me with. First, the property itself has a healing effect on all who have visited here (I've lived here for 35 years), it's pretty amazing. Second, the walls had been white with no photos or pictures hanging. The colors yellow are wisdom colors & I chose a bright vibrant yellow shade for all the spots in the house that I thought would have a shadow. The grey shades were actually more silver which I painted on more of the westerly walls (my personal relationship direction). I feel the colors themselves were helping. Amazing! Next the ferns: When Marie spoke of the front entrance, I was at a quandary because I do not use the front. The house sets on a tall hill away from the streets with the driveway in the back coming part of the way up, no garage. I had removed the old wooden steps leading to the street in the front years ago. I only used the back. In fact, the front door had spiderwebs from no use and the ferns were large & had taken over everything! Quite the contrast from the backyard that I walked through from the car to the house daily under the lighted archways. Then a few years ago another shift happened and, of course, the lights started to burn out. Marie's chapter on the front entrance got me going. The ferns are removed (I still need to remove them from the closeness along the sides of the home. I built what I call castle steps out of stone down the 1st terrace, added low growing white flowers. I will be adding another set of castle steps down the 2nd terrace and most likely, next year down the tall front bank to the street. I realized that the ferns with their sharp pointed edges were my guards. They were guarding me in my castle until I had healed enough and had connected with new mentors & masters (like Marie and others) Blessings to each of you. Amy
