The following is an article I wrote that was published in an online magazine out of Australia called “White Light Magazine”. This article is “dictated” to me by one of my inner wise women guides that is called Luminawe, which means, she who illumines the way. She lives within each of us, all we need to is call upon her for direction. I hope that her message will help you on your journey to a more enchanted life.- Rhianne

I have been long pondering the idea of painting our door purple, and with the coming of the Spring, I am ready to welcome some new energies into our life and our home.
Purple is one of my favorite colors, but I admit that having it as a front door color seems out of the ordinary. And that is exactly what I am calling forth this Spring, out of the ordinary experiences, people, wonders and magic.
Doors to me are magical. Doorways, gateways, entrances to places can invite us into new realms, environments, and new experiences. The color purple can signify success, prosperity, nobility and wisdom. It is the color of the crown chakra, and so the color can invoke higher consciousness, and receiving wisdom from the Universe, or in my case, from the Goddess and all of Life herself.
In most cases, a purple door will invite opportunities into our home. It can improve health, increase good friendships and perhaps gain us more recognition, which would mean that more people could be benefiting from my beautiful offerings and creations as well as my beloves incredible works.
I can already feel a change just writing this and thinking about painting my door purple. It is a sign of creativity and open-mindedness as well. And, it is also said to be a sign that a practitioner of magic who knows how to live a truly enchanted life lives there . Now, comes the job of choosing the right shade, which my partner has suggested we take a photo of our front door entrance and the color of the exterior walls, and in photo shop try out different shades. That sounds like a great idea to me. What are your thoughts about such a door? And if you can not or do not want to go all the way to painting the door, perhaps a lovely wreath with purple will do the trick!
Leave your comments below, and I will keep you posted as to our progress with our door. If you have a purple door, or paint yours, please tell us how it goes and what you notice!
Warning- If you are a batter eater, every stage of these brownies is delish, so save some to be baked. These are SO good I try to make them when I know there is a party or gathering where others will enjoy them, so I do not eat the whole batch myself! (which I have done).
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 F ( 175C)
Lightly grease baking pan of your choice use an 8x8 for thicker brownies and a 7x11 for thinner. I like the thinner ones
Combine hot melted butter, oil and sugar together in medium sized bowl. Beat well until creamy, add eggs and vanilla and beat until light and fluffy (refrain from eating all of this yummy goodness)
Mix in flour, cocoa powder and salt just until combined, do not overbeat
Add walnuts
Pour into greased pan
Bake for 15-25 minutes. I bake mine in the larger pan for about 16 minutes, keep an eye on them and use the toothpick test if you choose. Do not overbake.
Remove and allow to cool, then place in fridge or freezer to get cold. They will slice better. When cold and solid, slice into brownie bites. Keep in fridge or freezer. The lack of gluten makes them very crumbly when not cold.
Enjoy these as an alternative to a square of dark chocolate, or serve with tea. I suggest not eating them late in the day unless you want extra energy!
The first books that came to "Heart" to share
I have chosen 4 books to share about. They are the ones that just came to me intuitively when I started writing this post. Of course, there are thousands to choose from, but one must start somewhere! What I love about this group is that not only are they unique, entertaining, helpful and inspiring, but the women and man who have written them inspire me as well. I encourage you to read one or more of them if what I write speaks to you, you will not be sorry. Each one of these books are gems that I treasure. Please feel free to comment and share about books you love and why, sign up for our offers and newsletter, and enjoy all the gifts I have created for you.
