I just LOVE the idea of "HOME"! I believe that some of my childhood experiences gave me my sense of LOVE that I have always had for my HOME! It doesn't matter if my home is
one of 4,000 square feet or 300 square feet, I always make my house into a very special home! And I've lived in both!
As a small child I just loved playing "House"!! I would pretend that I had children and prepared them meals and read them books. It was so much fun. Then, one day, my Father actually built me a real little house to play in. It was the most exciting thing ever. It was built in the back part of our yard and was about 7 feet square. It had a small front door step and a REAL door and REAL windows. Dad was a contractor, so he had access to all the materials to create a real house. I remember sweeping it and playing in it all the time. It was my 'HAPPY PLACE"!
When I turned 13 my Dad re-modeled my bedroom, putting in some book shelves and a built in dressing table with a set of drawers. It was just beautiful. It had a white and gold
Formica top. My room already had gorgeous flowered wall paper! It was again my "HAPPY PLACE"!
As I grew up I was very excited to live on my own. My very close girl friend and I got an apartment together and together we created our "HAPPY PLACE" there! We decorated
for every holiday, loved to have guests over and in one house we even had a dog!
After I got married my love of home continued. I always found it very exciting to create special places in our home for each of us to enjoy. When I designed the house, my husband wanted the family room to have the winter sun coming in, so that structured the layout for entire house. Then I designed a special pool so that our child with cerebral palsy could walk in the pool. It had two shallow ends, one two feet deep, the other 3 feet deep and then the deep end in the middle. When we were building our home our children helped select items for their rooms. My daughter at 2 3/4 chose PINK carpeting for her room. That is a LONG story in itself. My son chose his wall paper, which is another LONG and very funny story.
SO now, years later, it's my JOY to have designed a Master Course all around the concept of 'CREATING YOUR HAPPY AND HEALTHY HOME"! This will be an on-going Course, which you can join month to month. And this will begin JULY 1, 2025, which is right around the corner. We'll meet together weekly for around one hour to discuss all aspects of creating your own happy and healthy home. I'll share with you what I've learned along the way as well as concepts from my three books revolving around the art of listening to children. You'll be able to bring your questions, your curiosity and wisdom as we come together to share and learn.
I believe that one's HOME should be that place where you can always come to for deep peace and contentment. It can be one's retreat from the rest of the world.
I hope you will join me inside this Master Course, beginning July 1st! I hope you will feel a sense of belonging within the space, where you can find friends and have community as we
learn and share around the theme, "Creating Your Happy and Healthy Home"!
So, if you have an interest in HOME and would like to be with others who are interested in creating their special HOME, please consider joining us. You can contact me through the CONTACT page here on this site.
See you soon!
