Do you have a haven in your hectic world? In the nineteenth century the home was considered 'heaven on earth'. Think about your grandparents home, what was it like to you? I know my grandparents home had a particular smell, a level of comfort, a peace and it was one of my most favorite places to be. My grandparents lived in the house my Mom and her siblings were raised in. I loved going upstairs to see my Aunts bedroom. She had horse statues in her room from when she lived there. As someone who was a horse crazy child, it brought me great happiness to see these beautiful statues. The bathroom was HUGE! At least it was to me as a child. I loved and absolutely adored sitting in this gigantic room in their huge window and looking out on their farm. I really loved their clawfoot bathtub and dreamed of being able to take a bath in it. (I never got to, and if I did, I was too little to remember).
What about your home? In this hectic world we live in we need to have a place where we can decompress from our day. Find a way to make your home, or maybe just a room in your home, where you can escape. Home is where the heart is, and your heart deserves to have a quiet place to serve as your haven.
