Episode 55 | Creativity in your Home

Walking through some condos recently with a buyer got me thinking about creativity and all the ways in which you can explore the creative side of yourself at home.  Some think you have to be an artist to be creative, when in fact, that isn’t true at all.  Music and cooking, candle making, and gardening - all are ways to explore creativity at home.  This episode explores what it means to be creative within the walls of your home as well as using creative decision making to morph your home into a true expression of those living there.

This is a parallel story about Jessica Dudley and her health and home journeys.  It’s a fascinating and educational story filled with ups and downs, wallpaper and mold, hope, and satisfaction.  Her health journey started when she was 18 years old but as a remodeler of historic homes, this is also a story about creating a home for healing.

Episode 51 | Creating wonderful Traditions

Change is constant and it tends to manifest nervous anticipation of what is to come. One of the best ways of coping is to focus on what is stable. This is where traditions come in. They bring meaning to our lives and give us a sense of belonging. This episode is about creating wonderful traditions NOT associated with gathering in groups.  Share photos of your traditions with me by using the #HomeSpaceAndReason hashtag or tagging me @SpaceAndReason.
