Renovation Psychology®
Advice for the Home Team Toolbox
Dear Dr. Debi,
We’ve never paid much attention to our landscape, but this
winter ruined the few nice trees that were there. Now what do we
do?
Signed, Storm Damage
Dear Nature’s Cycle,
The natural surroundings of your home can make quite a
difference in the way your house settles into its spot and can
even make it seem homier and more inviting. I know I have been
in some houses that were so sweetly nestled into their
environment that I felt I was in heaven as I sat on the patio.
But what do you do when the nice old trees succumb to the
elements?
Partly we grieve. The 100-year-old lilac, the aged apple tree,
the fabulous oak – may have lost all their charming boughs in
the strong winds or heavy ice of winter. Part of nature’s demand
of us is to let the past go. We will remember the days of our
parents’ prime, the warm summer picnics, the ease of our own
lives, as we played beneath the mighty reaches of these trees’
green arms. They were part of the fabric of our lives, wrapping
our youth and giving us the feeling of comfort, even rooting us
to the earth, our homestead, nature itself. We explored their
tiny forest; we built our refuges up in their boughs; we bounced
in their leaves. They were always there for the background of
our lives.
Now changed, what to we do? We can cherish and remember –
nothing can change their meaning inside of us. But we are
pressed by nature to realize we are part of a cycle of life,
with sunrises and sunsets for our days, our youth, our parents,
and our homesteads. The push upon us as we handle the changes in
our landscape brings us some better wisdom about the world and
how it really works. Somehow if we understand how things pass
by, we can make better plans, adjust ourselves to today’s
purposes, and plan for wonderful things for our children’s
tomorrows...

Advice for the Home Team Toolbox
Trouble Facing
the Money?
Dear Dr. Debi,
You said to sit and talk money together, but all we do is fight. How can
we talk money safely?
Signed, Screaming Checkbook
Dear
Anxious Over Money,
Fighting is not always as it seems. It may be possible that each of you
might be anxious and are acting noisy about it. Maybe you need to learn
a new tool. Just like using a miter saw to learn complex cuts, facing
money certainly is an important part of your successful project – so it
bears some practice to get it right.
So, let’s figure out what the cuts are, and angle ourselves to get ready
to approach it square on. First, we need to get agreement on the
intention to face the money. We don’t jump in and do it yet, just begin
with a statement by both Home Team grown-ups that you will do what you
can to safely face it somehow together. This does not mean it is simple,
it’s just a place you both wish to head.
So – what is your own issue about the money? Do you have some beliefs
about how your partner spends or saves that grieve you? Do you feel bad
about your paycheck?
