008 What My Broken Sunglasses Taught Me About Consumerism, Landfills, and Superglue

I accidentally broke 1 of my 2 pairs of sunglasses a few months ago.

Shoot! I was disappointed and sad because I really liked those sunglasses - and they played an important role in my quirky, yet effective, sunglasses system.

Facing this broken object pushed me to more deeply explore my consumerism, use of the landfill, and the energy of broken things.

Plus, I was introduced to the world's best superglue at my local auto parts and hardware store, Benders.

As promised, here are links to photos of my formally broken, now repaired things:

And here is a photo of the superglue.

I hope this episode has invited you to consider your own thoughts and behaviors around consumerism and how you use the landfill. These are important components of Home Energy Purification. When we choose to let something go from our homes, it is also vital that we consider where it is heading.

Healing the energy of broken things is another beautiful aspect of the Home Energy Purification process.

There is so much to consider and explore when it comes to our relationship with our stuff! If you want to gain some clarity about where to start with your process of sorting through and letting go of those objects which may no longer be serving you, let's jump on a Clarify to Purify call!

Until next time, my friend - keep on purifying!
