before... after... home is the most important place in the whole wide world. we have the power to create the world we want at home. when our family rooms are filled with peace and love and generosity... when the ones who sit on our sofas feel freedom and acceptance and understanding... we make our world a more beautiful place... and when we make our own world a more beautiful place... it has a ripple effect... love changes everything. when we frame our kid's art and hang it over the mantel, they feel important, significant, and capable of greatness. when we buy handcrafted baskets to hang on our wall, we promote fair trade and a fair wage for african artisans. when we redesign our room so that we face each other, we prioritize people, conversation, and interaction with the ones we love. when we take our homes and ourselves less seriously, we are way more fun to be around and we make others feel relaxed and welcome. when we leave love notes and fresh scones for people who work for us, we make the angels sing and the design gods bestow blessings upon us... ok, not really. or maybe, i don't know what the design gods do all day. but this i know... most of the time, we get what we give. xo...
