Home is shelter from
the world: the heart that warms you, the roof that keeps out the rain, the
table where you eat with your loved ones, and the bed on which you sleep. But home is also the springboard for you life’s
adventures and the safety net that gives you courage to soar into the
world. At home you are most fully
yourself: accepted for the least you are, yet reminded of the most you hope to
be.
Putting together a
living space that reflects and supports the quest for an authentic life is an
exhilarating creative challenge. Begin with three simple principles: Weed out unnecessary possessions. Give fresh life to furnishings by moving them
around. Stop being frustrated by the
physical limitations of your home; rather start looking for ways to highlight its
pluses.
A space that meets
the everyday needs of its inhabitants, gives expression to their interior life,
and encourages living the life you want.
The project of creating such a home for yourself can be a source of
satisfaction and joy.
