Feeling at home with ourselves and being able to create a spirit of place that nourishes us physically, emotionally and spiritually is a goal worthy of our highest priority.

We can live closer to our dreams if we are willing to dream them. And we can create a life as we want it to be.

How we feel about ourselves as we read the newspaper, set the table, wash the dishes, recycle the trash and wash our clothes... is essential to our overall happiness and well-being.

When you leave a beautiful place, you carry it with you wherever you go.

Each of us must become impassioned, finding meaning and self-fulfillment in our own life's journey.

If we could make our house a home, and then make it a sanctuary, I think we could truly find paradise on Earth.
