I have always loved candles. At a previous home of mine, our fireplace had been sealed off. The alcove was still there, but, no fire could be lit. So, I decided to buy a gorgeous candelabra and set it inside the alcove. It held about seven candles, and, I lit every one.
It was amazing how my daughters would softly creep into the room, sit down on the floor, and just soak in all that wonderful firelight. Everything always seemed so tranquil, when I lit those candles. Of course, we moved around, and eventually we went about our evening. But, it was the quiet way we did it when we lit candles. It was like, no one wanted to break the stillness of the evening.
Even now, my daughters love to light candles when we have dinner. I find that it does indeed inspire peaceful conversation, something I desperately need after a long day at work.
My new favorite candles are from Marcus Allen. http://www.marcusalan.com/. Try Amber or Coconut Creme. I especially love the packaging. Let me know what you think of them. Enjoy!
