Hi TrueLotus! Great progress! I love the throne room idea! Make sure you get yourself some kewl incense burners. Heat oils to anoint yourself (until your Radiance attracts the faithful to properly attend you). It’s always good to write notes, thoughts, decrees and the like, and the secret to good writing is of course very good paper … handmade parchment books or scrolls if you can swing it. And the one thing that would be handy for *both* intended uses of your throne room would be some good light reading! I’m going to follow your lead and clean up my grimy apartment, wash the smoke scum off of the windows and burn some sage. Have a great, clean weekend TL! -batch One week, one day, 16h, 53m, 56s. 174 cigs NOT smoked = $34.81.

You’ve got it right on the money. I’m putting all types of facial creams, lotions, aromatherapy, etc. It might even leak into the "main" room adjacent to the "throne". >I’m going to follow your lead and clean up my grimy apartment, wash the smoke >scum off of the windows and burn some sage.

Yes, I’m going to burn sage in my bathroom to get rid of the negative smoking energy. Right now my bathroom smells like lavendar, like the candle I burned. This is much more creative, positive and fun than just sucking in putrid smoke. Ari Ari’s Adventure Travel Spiritual journeys to Egypt and Nepal http://www.eskimo.com/~tlotus

Still think about that morning drag but have given in up for 5 days now and no real cravings. What I’m going to do is turn the small bathroom where I smoked (only place in the house my hubby would let me smoke) into a true throne room. I’m going to put in plush Egyptian towels, a toilet seat cover, clean out all the smoke, put in incense and candles and I’m either going to go in there to do my business or, if it would have been one of those times I was going to smoke, I’m going to light some insence or a candle and take 10 deep breaths of clean air. Kind of like a meditatioin room but with a toilet in it :^)  (HEY, I can be crazy as long as I don’t smoke!). A true throne.
