Things are a buzz here at Judith’s B&B, where I’ve been staying the last six weeks. Handyman Tim is installing a bathroom in the Magnolia room and electricians are evaluating and installing electric there as well as other places in the old Victorian house. Yes things are a buzz here and change is happening every day, especially for Judith.

For the last six weeks Judith has been embarking on taking back her power and reclaiming her space from her clutter and her brothers over abundance of stuff!

You see Judith’s brother is a flea market/thrift store junkie and yes, some of this started rubbing off on Judith… Read what Judith has to say:

“The shift came for me when I saw my living room decluttered and rearranged. I could actually feel the energy. Everything seemed to flow. It wasn’t until most of my brother’s “useless to me” things were removed from behind the sofa, in corners and under things that I realized how much of his energy had taken over what was mine–my beautiful home and Bed N’ Breakfast.

I loved going to thrift stores and flea markets three or four times a week with my brother. We made a day of it, stopping at a lakeside park and picnicking or exploring new towns. I always found a little something that would look good in one of my guest’s bedrooms. Unfortunately, so did my brother! He has three karaoke machines. Of course no one sings! No one uses the three weed eaters in the garage either! Three seems to be the magic number for my brother.

In the six weeks Janet has been visiting me, I have lost nearly all the desire to go “thrifting”. We filled our days with creativity, doing inspirational walkabouts and photographing nature. We’ve painted fireflies on rocks, tie-dyed shirts and canoed the Suwannee River. (The deserted HAUNTED HOUSE she made me go in was not fun!).

I will miss Janet. Today she leaves for a week long enchanted walkabout with John Springer and then flies home. As for me, I still have the garage left. Janet offered to do it while she was here but I think there needs to be BALANCE! We had a lot of FUN!
