Finding the Fundaine: Turning Maintenance Into Meaning

Finding the Fundaine: Turning Maintenance Into Meaning

Life is 80% maintenance and 20% magic.
But what if the magic is hiding in the maintenance?

Most days feel like a never-ending loop — a real-life Groundhog Day of laundry, groceries, folding, fixing, and trying to tick things off a list we never signed up for. I woke up this morning with a loud, stubborn NO in my body. A deep desire to stay in bed, to drift back into the dreamworld where things felt expansive and exciting.

Nothing felt urgent. And honestly? Nothing felt worth doing.

Yes, I had things to do:
Laundry
Pink slip the car
Fold the washing
Move my body
But none of it called to my soul.

I wasn’t tired. I was tired of being my own everything.

Living alone or doing life independently means everything rests on you — cooking for yourself, cleaning for yourself, motivating yourself. It’s lonely. It’s repetitive. And sometimes, it feels utterly meaningless.

So how do we find the fundaine — the fun in the mundane?

💡 Reframe It as Sacred

Today, I asked myself: What if I’m not just cleaning my kitchen for me… what if I’m preparing it for God?

What if this body isn’t just mine to care for — but a vessel for something sacred? What if the floor I sweep is holy ground?

When I take myself out of the equation and offer these small acts as offerings, something shifts. I stop asking, “What’s the point?” and start whispering, “May this be enough.”

🕯️ Make it Ritual

Light a candle before you do the dishes.
Put on music while you cook.
Say a prayer as you vacuum the floor.
Turn chores into devotion.

It doesn’t need to feel like joy right away. But it can feel like presence. And presence — even in the boring bits — is sacred.
