and — this week — Every day you must GIVE one thing away!
Thursday — So Below
Moon in Leo — 3rd Quarter (Banishing)
Self-Reliance, Success, Generosity, Determination
Ideal Planetary Hour for Leo magick — Sun
Light an orange candle surrounded by orange peels to help you recognize opportunities that are good for you!
Or, offer a sliced orange dressed with sugar to the Gods, asking that the sweetness of life reside in your home.
This Week’s Theme: Focus
Pick a positive thought. Hold on to it. Retain it as long as you can. Each day your retention period will lengthen. You only need to practice!
Practice retaining one positive thought three times a day.
Hail and Good Morning!
I have been reading all of your posts and I am so very proud of you! Take it one day at a time. Do what you can. What you can’t? Will come around later. Yesterday I asked you to look around your environment and determine what seems to be the predominant color. Take a peek at this color palette link: Color Palette . Why not try using a different color scheme in at least one room? If you don’t want to do something permanent — choose a throw (blanket), pillows, a picture or two, mats for tables, statue, flowers, etc. to change the color scheme. Get creative! Construct something with our own hands! After a week, determine if you feel better or less stressed with these new color variations. Sometimes, just a change in color and the rearrangement of furniture can really lift the spirits and break up sluggish chi.
Today’s Challenge — So Below. Yesterday we looked “above”. Today, we look below! Underneath the bed, under the sink, under the sofa! Remove all clutter — clean if you can. It is said that junk under the bed inhibits restful sleep. I absolutely believe this! Clutter and dirt under the sink? Is thought to cripple the water element in your environment. The water element carries healing energy.
To help you catch up (if you are falling behind) that’s it for today! If you feel really industrious and have all the challenges completed and want to do more — let your intuition guide you on choosing a task. For example, yesterday I cleaned out and washed down the bathroom medicine cabinet. The day before that I went through all the doggie toys, half chewed bones, treats, leashes, etc. getting rid of what could not be salvaged and putting a bit of order to the jumble. Any task you do like this deserves a gold star!!!

I have thrown out and given away so much, I’m ahead of the game! Purging is awesome. Thank you for this wonderful program, it’s helping to keep me focused and on top of things!
You go girl!
This is fantastic! I absolutely love it!
I am so glad you like it!!!
So, my rooms are in yellow. That sounds bilious, but really, it is like a Tuscan gold, yellowy thing. I know bedrooms are meant to be in cool, dark colors, but when I thought of what to paint my room, the rosy gold of Tuscany was the only thing I knew would be right. And it is. I can’t even think of changing the color. The base is yellow (I laughed, it was called “Squish-Squash”) and then I put a glaze over it with a dry brush to give it a bit of depth. The glaze is a…umm…rusty golden color. It is a light glaze, not heavy or domineering. After 20 years of living in a basement, I want the sun! My room colors give me the sun 24/7.
Sounds beautiful!!
I have been falling behind been fighting a cold. Today I am going at it full force thank you silver for this great program
Take your time. There’s no falling behind. Just do what you can do. 🙂 Get well!
Had to do some catch-up on the ironing work :p a pain in this heat, used some Lavender Hydrosol in the iron and put my self on a really relaxed plug…… will have to catch up on the under tomorrow as I need to ready the guest room, who knows what found it way in there.

Ouuu, what a good idea with the lavender and the iron! Thank you for posting!
Lol! How did I help clear the way for ripping out that carpet? By ramming things under the bed! Cue the song, “Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.” 🙂 oxo
AHAHAHAHA! Good one.
I’ve been super slow at the GRP this year, trailing a flu that knocked me off my feet, but yesterday’s As Above challenged really turned the corner for me. I missed the Cancer moon-clean water challenge, so I added some orange and rosemary essential oil to my Bioclean spray bottle and off I went to clean the tops, including light fixtures. Everything felt brighter.
Then I tackled a pile of boxes waiting to be broken down for the recycling and instantly, the chi changed. Out in the rain…were several ceramic pots had been knocked down and broken in the wind storm…clean it up girl!
I’m still holding on to my box of tissues, but wow, I feel tons better in a tidier home environment! Thanks to you, Silver, and everyone sharing their GRP journey!
Sending super healing blessings to you! I am so proud of you! It is sometimes hard to explain how quickly the energy can change — you did it perfectly. Thank you so much for sharing. I am very sure your comments are helping others. Good job!
I decorate for every holiday for my color palette is white – I chose to add color with accessories. I have quilts for every holiday. I decorate every room and I also have a 5 tier shelf on my front porch that I use to decorate for each holiday. My place is never boring, tastefully done but never boring! A few pics.

Love reading your blog and seeing the pictures! Thank you so much for sharing!
All Hail and Hello, second car rescue mission this week, the terminal ends needed adjusting. Attacked the last section of my kids room. The orange peel around the candle was wonderful. Ate half the orange, placed the other for the Gods with honey on it. Loving the orange citrus vibe, very refreshing.
I get really serious when I am cleaning and cleansing, I find it hard to pull out of that mental and emotional space. I don’t get a lot of “me” time so this may be the reason. Does anyone else experience this?
Love and light, Jennifer
That might be the reason and sounds logical. Try smiling while you clean (if you feel you are getting in a negative funk). Take some “me” time other than when you clean. I know it is very hard when you are raising children — you can do it.
