This holiday season my online store carts were filled and ready for me when I hit that little purchase button this holiday season. Tracking receipts were filling my inbox of all the pending purchases I was awaiting to arrive. Ok, some were for me, but we won’t talk about that.
The mail people continue to fill my mailbox with mystery boxes containing this and that. I am now on a first name basis with Dave at my local post office to boot!
Like a squirrel storing nuts for the winter, I am stockpiling all the boxes from this gift or that. Hey, you never know when you need to return something, or heaven forbid need a random box for a gift! This is my story, and I am sticking to it!
Oh, but the boxes are piling up like the game JENGA. They are threatening to fall over if they go much higher as I randomly pull out this one or that one to recycle for some other project I am working on.
I was feeling all over the place for a day or so, not realizing that I had not saged in probably a month. This is very unlike me to forget! All has been well, and I didn’t think about it. Suddenly, the relevance of needing to sage everything that has come into my house had a new sense of urgency.
You see, just because I am in a good mood, doesn’t mean the people at the origin of the box, gift, packaging, or the workers assembling everything are happy. Something told me a lot of them were not as the holidays are normally stressed filled. That feeling from them leaves residual energy in and on those boxes and gifts you are now stockpiling in your house. Add too many and your happiness and good mood can be shifted unknowingly. Thus, the mail not only delivers the contents, but the energy of the person attached to the packaging can take your good mood away!
I pray that your heart and mind are in the right place as you are dealing with the holiday season. This is your friendly spiritual reminder that the boxes, packages, and gifts you are dealing with may have a different story attached to them. Remember to sage and clear your house and your car of the residual energy, now and after the holidays.
Season’s blessings to you all!
