SLEEPING BEAUTY
Photographer: Donna Griffith
The world that surrounds us is a reflection of the world within us. We know this to be true. Think of a time when you were overwhelmed with work responsibilities and your home life suffered as a result.
The BEFORE photos of this young teenage girl’s bedroom reflect some version of chaos, which is not an uncommon state of being for most teenagers, given the challenges they face. Interestingly though, this particular young girl very carefully selected some of the key design elements that inspired the finished design of her bedroom.
Within each of us is a diamond, waiting to be cut, that it may shine all of its wonderful brilliance on the world. This uncut diamond is what I call a sleeping beauty. There are many ways to awaken the sleeping beauty. One of them is to consciously create an environment that reflects that which we are ready to birth. Only when we truly feel worthy of beauty, will we so boldly manifest that beauty in our surroundings; and it is the act of creating this environment for ourselves, and maintaining it, that launches our awakening.
