Animating the Inanimate: What If the Energy of Emotion Lives in Everything We Love?

InteriorWerx Success Stories: Pain, Clues and Healing
Outcomes Worth Sharing
Can a Ferrari absorb sadness? Can a car respond to loving energy? Can the love of two little boys help bring a missing baseball bat home?
These may sound like unusual questions.
But after a series of extraordinary personal experiences, I've found myself asking something even more intriguing:
What if the energy of love lives in everything we love?
We call automobiles, baseball bats, crystal vases, and countless other objects inanimate because they have no biological life of their own.
But what if loving attention can do more than create an emotional attachment?
What if it can permeate an object, opening the possibility of energetic transformation?
Let me share a few experiences that have kept me curious.
Marissa: A Ferrari's Emotional Tune-Up
My friends Michael and Sylvia invited me to dinner one evening. As we were getting into their sedan, Michael pointed toward his beloved Ferrari convertible.
Michael calls her Marissa.
"I'm going to have to take her in tomorrow," he said. "The top's not working."
Something prompted me to ask an unusual question.
"Michael, has someone been sitting on the left side of Marissa who was very, very sad?"
Now he was intrigued.
"Yes! My sister was sitting there crying while telling me about something terribly sad happening in her life."
I wondered whether the intensity of her sadness might have lingered in the car.
Michael, who practices taekwondo and is open to conversations about energy, smiled at my suggestion that I might be able to help.
"If you can fix my Ferrari, I'll give you five hundred dollars!"
After dinner, while Michael and Sylvia went inside to prepare our customary bedtime tea, I stayed beside Marissa.
Holding my hands over the left side of the car, I used the energy-release process I have developed through InteriorWerx. I visualized the emotional heaviness leaving the car and brilliant, swirling white light filling the space.
A few minutes later, I joined my friends.
"I think Marissa's top is working now," I said.
The following morning, Michael drove to the mechanic without testing the top himself.
The mechanic operated it.
Up.
Down.
Up.
Down.
Perfectly.
Michael exclaimed, "Oh my goodness! I've got to go home! I've got a little lady to pay!"
And by breakfast, there on the kitchen counter were five crisp one-hundred-dollar bills.
One delighted Ferrari owner. One happily functioning Marissa. And a whole new appreciation for what energy work might accomplish.
The Saab That Needed a Charge
Years earlier, I owned a beautiful 1989 white Saab convertible.
Five-speed manual transmission. Tan interior. Wonderful Dolby speakers.
I absolutely loved that car.
One evening, while visiting my friend Dennis, an electrical engineer, the Saab refused to start in a parking garage.
Dennis headed upstairs to retrieve jumper cables.
I had a different idea.
I opened the hood and held my hands over the engine. Rather than sensing energy that needed to be released, I felt inspired to add energy.
I visualized brilliant white light entering through the crown of my head, flowing through my body and out through my hands into the engine.
After several minutes, I turned the key.
The engine started.
When Dennis returned with the jumper cables, he saw the Saab running and smiled.
"You did that with your energy, didn't you?"
"Yes, I did."
And off we went to dinner.
Just one very happy couple and a beloved white Saab convertible.
The Saab That Didn't Want to Say Goodbye
Eventually, I decided to sell my Saab and Audi wagon because I wanted to reduce my contribution to air pollution.
Even my gorgeous convertible, as beautiful and powerful as she was, had what I jokingly called stinky winks coming out of her tailpipe.
And contributing those exhaust fumes to the air that we breathe was no longer something I wanted to do.
I wanted to walk my talk.
But I loved that Saab.
When my neighbor arrived with a flatbed truck to collect her, I felt the sadness of our impending goodbye.
As he began loading the car, the front right wheel suddenly tilted at a dramatic angle, its bottom protruding outward and its top leaning inward.
I immediately exclaimed:
"Oh, she doesn't want to leave me! And I don't want her to leave me either. But I think this is a necessary thing."
I wasn't astonished. To me, it felt like a physical expression of our reluctance to part.
The issue was addressed, and eventually the Saab went on her way.
But that moment has never left me.
The Bat That Came Back for Love
Of all these experiences, one of my favorites involved two little boys, their father, and a missing baseball bat.
At a Chicago-area Little League Home Run Derby, I overheard a father and his sons discussing their missing black wooden bat.
They adored it.
They even called it Black Beauty.
Curious, I walked over.
"Do you kids really love that bat?"
"Oh, yes!" they exclaimed.
As they spoke, I could feel the love they had for this apparently lifeless object.
And suddenly, I knew I would find it.
I had absolutely no idea where it was.
In InteriorWerx, I call this Aligned in the Divine — a technique that creates a state of connection with the energy of love, where the thinking mind grows quiet, allowing intuitive guidance to come into divine alignment and reveal the way forward.
I smiled at the boys.
"You love that bat. I can feel that you love that bat."
Then I returned to my seat.
A couple of minutes later, I felt prompted to get up and walk.
I moved slowly between two baseball diamonds, turned right, and entered a field where children were playing.
There, in the deeper grass, I spotted the outline of a black baseball bat.
I picked it up tenderly and carried it back toward the family.
When the father and boys saw me, they came running.
"Our bat! You found our bat!"
Their father looked at his sons and exclaimed:
"We are experiencing a miracle, boys!"
But here's what fascinated me most.
I hadn't been searching randomly.
I had connected with the extraordinary love those boys felt for their bat.
I don't create the love. I connect with the love that's already there, and through that connection, I help facilitate what becomes possible.
Was it intuitive guidance? Subtle clues? A remarkable coincidence?
Whatever the explanation, it was a joyful experience I'll never forget.
And Then... The Power Went Out!
Sometimes life has an extraordinary sense of humor.
On November 3, 2026, I had just finished writing an InteriorWerx newsletter exploring this very question:
What if our emotions don't simply pass through us, but leave their energy in the world around us?
I was especially excited because I had also introduced a new offering called POWER UP!
And I was absolutely POWERED UP!
I LOVE sharing this work and helping people discover their emotional power, release what no longer serves them, and explore how to consciously direct their energy toward more empowered lives.
Then, at exactly 1:11 p.m....
ALL THE ELECTRICITY IN MY OFFICE WENT OUT!
Every light. Every electrical connection.
Gone!
Was the universe playfully giving me an opportunity to practice exactly what I'd been writing about?
I stood up.
Extended my hands.
Breathed in brilliant white light.
And exhaled, visualizing that energy flowing into the electrical grid within my unit.
I imagined the office illuminated once again.
And within twelve minutes...
THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON!
Did my visualization restore the electricity?
I can't establish that. The outage may have resolved for entirely ordinary reasons.
But I couldn't help smiling at the extraordinary timing.
From POWER UP to power out to POWER ON!
And perhaps the most fascinating part wasn't what happened to the electrical system.
It was what the experience invited me to consider about my own emotional power.
What If You Could Turn Your Own Power Back On?
Think about the objects you love.
A family heirloom. A favorite automobile. A musical instrument. A baseball bat filled with childhood memories.
What if our emotional energy becomes part of their story?
And what if the inanimate carries the possibility of becoming animated by the energy we share with it?
These are questions, not scientific conclusions.
But they invite us to explore something profoundly personal.
What happens when you feel disconnected from your own power?
And what if you could learn to reconnect, feel charged, and consciously direct your emotional energy?
Perhaps the greatest discovery isn't about Ferraris, Saabs, baseball bats, or electrical grids.
Perhaps it's discovering how powerful we are when we become conscious of the emotional energy we carry, transform, and share.
Imagine the possibilities.
I don't ask you to believe.
I invite you to become curious.
And perhaps you'll never look at your emotions—or the things you love—quite the same way again.
Food for thought!
What If Love Is More Powerful Than We Imagine?
I think about these experiences often.
Marissa, the Ferrari.
My beloved white Saab.
Black Beauty, the baseball bat.
And even a beautiful crystal vase I once adored, which rolled away completely unharmed when the glass tabletop beneath it shattered into hundreds of pieces.
Each experience has encouraged me to consider the same possibility.
What if the things we cherish receive the emotional energy of that which we pour into them?
Perhaps loving attention is more than appreciation.
Perhaps it is the beginning of an energetic relationship.
A lifeless object.
Loving attention.
The possibility of energetic transformation.
This is one of the fascinating possibilities I explore through InteriorWerx: the ways our emotions, intentions, and awareness may influence our experiences.
I don't ask you to believe it.
I invite you to become curious.
Look around your home. Think about the objects you love.
A family heirloom. A treasured photograph. A favorite automobile. Something that has accompanied you through years of life.
What if your love has become part of its story?
What if love is the energy that animates the inanimate?
And what if we have barely begun to discover what that love can do?
