Returning to Sanctuary: A Journey Back Home

There was a moment, long ago, when I first stepped into my house and felt it deep in my bones: I’m home, this is home! It wasn’t just a structure—it was sanctuary. It was peace. It was possibility. But over the years, that feeling began to fade. Life happened, uncertainty, struggle, change. As circumstances shifted around me, so did my relationship with this space. The home that once held me began to feel distant, almost unfamiliar. I questioned whether I still belonged here. Whether I could still afford to stay. Whether I wanted to. I began to believe I had to leave in order to grow. But now, something new is emerging. Or maybe something ancient is returning. Through deep reflection,and some soul-stirring guidance from my spiritual tools, I’ve started to understand what caused that disconnection. It wasn’t just financial stress or emotional upheaval. It was the feeling that I had lost my foundation. That I had forgotten how to be still in my space. That I had stopped believing I could build my dream right here. But the truth is… the seeds of that dream have already been planted. I am beginning again. I’m now consciously restoring my home,not just as a shelter, but as a sanctuary. A place of peace, protection, creativity, and healing. A place where I can live in alignment with the earth and with my spirit. A place where I can raise food, raise energy, and raise my voice. I’ve started planting the first pieces of my homestead lifestyle, reshaping my land, organizing my visions, and reclaiming the rhythm of working with my hands and the Earth. Golden Petal is no longer just an idea,it’s becoming something alive and rooted. And as I reconnect with this land, I’m also reconnecting with myself. I’ve returned to my spiritual tools, not just as practices, but as companions. My tarot cards, my pendulum, my altar, my rituals, they’ve become a bridge back to my intuition, my ancestors, and my deeper knowing. I’m no longer questioning every step, I’m learning to trust the wisdom that speaks through symbols, sensation, and synchronicity. This is not just about rebuilding a life. It’s about remembering the one I was always meant to live. It’s about healing the bond between me and my home. Me and my power. Me and my spirit. This journey is still unfolding. I’m still tending the soil. But each day I water this dream, I feel the roots strengthening, not just beneath my feet, but inside my soul. I’m home. And this time, I’m staying
