I love home. I am what many would call a homebody. I believe home should be your sanctuary, the place that opens its arms to you after a day of work, constant interaction, traffic,
and mental workouts.
While reading a Country Garden magazine
and longing for one of those beautiful and
seemingly unplanned cottage gardens, it hit me
that this is my love, my passion, my reason for
being---home. I think I already knew this deep
within myself, but how popular is it to say home
is one's passion? To the accomplished go-getter of the world it sounds lazy and
unimaginative; yet, when I think about it
these days, I realize Martha Stewart built an
empire from her love of all things domestic.
While my aspirations are more personal than
business, I now believe the start of all gratitude and greatness begins with home. So, to toast to all that I love about home, I will blog a different "An Ode to Home" every week. I hope it speaks to others who love home and are proud of it. I invite you to sit back and let your mind wander through your ritual as you read my blog. Hopefully, I will become a muse for your gratitude and appreciation of the comforts of your abode. I will be writing from a combination of what I am experiencing and what I wish to experience. As I visualize the wish, the later will become the former. Share the journey with me.
