A few weeks ago I had a wonderful conversation with a dear friend of mine discussing my new blog site House of Dragonflies. However, this same friend is the person who introduced me to the symbolism of dragonflies and how much I could personally relate to them. So of course I was excited to tell her she inspired the name House of Dragonflies. But, she then asked me a significant question why name it “House of Dragonflies, instead of Dragonflies?” I thought the question was direct, but it was a little different than the other questions I get about the blog site name. So, I told her my theory behind the name House of Dragonflies.
The name House of Dragonflies symbolizes all of my close friends, clients, and students who have impacted my life in a positive way; although most of them will never have the opportunity to meet they are all together in the “house” (blog). The dragonflies embody the wholeness of everyone, each person changing and progressing individually, searching for their purpose in life, living moment by moment, and not living in fear. The house stands for a home in which all of the dragonflies created together to have a sense of establishment, wholeness, freedom, confidence, belief, hope, safety, honesty, loyalty, and love. And around the house are small ponds, beautiful flowers and trees, in which the dragonflies can fly to from time to time for privacy to have oneness with the universe and God.
After describing where the name House of Dragonflies came from she asked me another interesting question. She said “I know you love trees, and dragonflies, but what I observe in your own house is you have several different pictures of “houses” whether it’s the exterior or interior of a house you have a lot of pictures of different houses. “ I began to think about it and she was actually right I have at least 3 different types of pictures just in my living room and dining room (these 2 rooms are conjoined) alone. She said to me again you should really look deeper and figure out why you have so many pictures of houses in your life and what the symbolism of a house is to you.
As always I’ve began this Google search on what is the symbolism of a house, I’ve asked God to show me what it means, and I’ve shared this same topic with a few other friends too, and the only answer I received was get your house in order! I realize since my husband and I have been together we have never fully unpack any of our boxes once we move into a new house, we take out what we need and live off of those items until it is time to move again. (Like a typical dragonfly waiting for more change.) I’ve always felt homeless in our own house. But what I’ve learned is in order for me to reach out to others the way I want to we have to have our house in order because we can’t give what we don’t have. For the past few days my husband and I have been getting our house in order. So to all of my beautiful dragonflies in the world take time to flap your wings and get yourself in order, and then maybe you’ll be able to soar into life.
