She Shed

6/17/2019

 
Picture
This was a new expression for me, and I just love the idea!  I've heard of a "man cave," but now apparently there's a "she shed" and a "he shed."  

So....I'm curious, ladies...What's in your she shed?  

Do you have a little niche in your home where you surround yourself with things or reminders that mean the most to you? What are they? 
Picture
In my she shed, I have pictures of my kiddos and family members and a gazillion Scriptural verses and wall hangings.  I also collect ceramic and glass pitchers and I have a few of those around.  I have loads of books, small white boards, paints and brushes, scrap-booking supplies, and a vast array of every kind of colored pens, fine and fat markers, sharpies, dry erase markers, pencils, highlighters. 
Picture
​I have my devotional and journals as well as my notebooks and texts from each institution where I teach. There are treasure boxes and hat boxes filled with photographs and notes from my children or tiny things made by tiny hands.  I have a warming pad for my coffee mug and a foot massage beneath my desk, plus a comfy chair to sit in.   There is an exercycle, hand weights and a jump rope... and of course my computer, the heartbeat of my work and ministry.
Picture
And across my desktop shelves, a boatload of sticky notes dangle to remind me of really important thoughts
​and prayer requests.


Some of my favs:
But God.
God is enough for my loved ones.
I walk in love.
My job duty:  Parakaleo - encourager, comforter, strengthener and Didasko - teacher, instructor, explainer
I don't have to - I get to.  
Love deeply and fervently.
Today is a beautify day.

Our she sheds say a lot about us.  (Whoosh, that's a tongue twister!)

It is so important that we find a warm and welcoming place, a sanctuary of sorts, a carved-out place that we just call our own.  Everyone needs a collection, something that identifies us and makes us unique to go into our she shed.  I collect three things:  Scriptural wall hangings, pitchers, and sheep (the nonliving kind).  I want to walk around to every room in my house (not just my she shed) and be reminded of God's Truths.  The pitchers represent that I can only be filled with the Spirit when I am first emptied of myself.  And I enjoy collecting sheep to remind me I am one, and I have a wonderful Shepherd who looks after me.

So tell me, what's in your she shed?  If you don't have one, consider creating one, a little sanctuary, a breathing space just for you.  This is your de-tox, de-stress, de-life room where you can be creative, do nothing, sit still, jump around, listen to music, pray, cry, count your blessings, talk, work if you want...you name it. 

​Make it your personalized comfy, cozy, chocolate-y get-away room just for you.

And let's not forget that in my cozy room is a little creature name Rico the MorKY. 
I'm so extremely grateful for this 4 1/2 pound wriggly  ball of energy and L.O.V.E.
