A Look at Refrigerator Magnets

What are you magnetizing?

“That which is like unto itself is drawn.”

—Abraham-Hicks

Ahh, the fridge. The big, metal box in the kitchen that we mostly ignore after stuffing it with food.

And stuff with more stuff on the outside, which we also mostly ignore.

I daresay it does make an excellent bulletin board — a catch-all for all those beloved mementos and important reminders.

Be it family photos, children’s artistic masterpieces, or magnetic ads selling things we don’t intend to use or buy…

What’s hanging on yours?

You can see what’s displayed these days on mine below.

Let’s shine some light on the subject, shall we?

And perhaps maybe ask…

Do you still love what is on there?

And if so, what are you magnetizing by keeping it there?

Is there something that can come down, or be replaced with something more energizing — something that better aligns with who you are now or wish to become?

Ahhh 🏡

What’s on my fridge and what I love about it

Photos by Stephanie Bennett Vogt (…can you see the theme?)

This is our fridge in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. I love how this card connects me to my childhood growing up in Mexico.

Same fridge, artwork by artist Ellen Benson that I’ve adopted as a family portrait of sorts. Can you guess which of these figures I’ve chosen to represent me?

This random assortment of magnets from New Zealand, Kusadasi and Istanbul, Turkey, Taormina, Italy, Bethlehem, and Cartagena, Spain, graces our fridge in the States. They bring back good memories from our most recent trip around the world in 2023.

A map of our world cruise itinerary from 2018 with a magnetic push pin… (which I still move around to take me back to places I loved).

Love the pop of yellow in this postcard of the famous trolly cars in Lisbon, Portugal. I especially love its unusual texture: it’s made of cork.
