Simplicity makes room in your mind for the thoughts that are important.

The great work of our life is the work that touches us deeply

Let simplicity, order, harmony and beauty guide you.

Enjoy the freedom of imperfection.

Charm. I'm not sure it's something you do, or something you are.

It begins with you. Along the way many mothers have lost contact with their greatness.

It's well worth standing back from your living and taking a conscious look at how you live there.

We can give gifts, make phone calls, send well wishes and acknowledge anniversaries out of duty...

Dishevelled cushions on the couches, silverware and crystal on the kitchen bench,..

There's an uneasiness in my bones as I write and reflect...

It seems a world away as I reflect back yet as we sit here in isolation my mind is returning to the idea of knitting a cardigan...

These things remind me that I LIVE HERE!

Surround yourself with things that shout out who you are, how you live, what life is like in your home.

Sarah speaks of this as passages. Passages of life's memories as people come and go through my life and homes.

Who you are, where you've been, your priorities, attitudes, preferences, are all there on visual display for all who have eyes to see...

In an ideal world, our primary needs for closeness and caring, stability and security, recognition and acknowledgment ...

We're not living fully when we allow life to distract us, when we gloss over our experiences, brush off our achievements, swallow our sorrow

What better time to allow everyday epiphanies to dawn upon us than this time of isolation.

Those moments for me are when I'm in my zone.

It's 2020 and I have a strong feeling that we're expecting something more of women than allure
