Home Space and Reason

Episode 53 | A story about a woman; her health, house and healing

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.

Episode 50 | Thinking of buying a home? Nuts and bolts + things to ponder

Let’s discuss buying a home; both the process of it and things to ponder about your future; your wants and desires. From my perspective, the more you’ve thought things through ahead of time, the happier you will be with the outcome. Even if you aren’t thinking of moving in the next year - this is a fun episode to listen to for imagining whatever is next. Know someone who wants to learn about buying a home for the first time?

Episode 49 | Phillips Hue Lights for a Home Theater Experience

Nothing beats sitting down to a riveting film that grabs your attention and doesn’t let go.  People often say they love the ability to lounge on their own comfy sofa, having access to their own kitchen and bathroom making staying home for a movie extra appealing. So how do you achieve better immersion in the film?  THAT, my friends, is where the hue lighting system plays a key role. Ready for a better home theater experience?

They make the most delicious-smelling candles and soaps, plus super comfy sweatshirts. I have one of their candles in every room of my house. I tend to buy a bunch of them at once and give them to all my friends. These women are strong, powerful, and unbelievably resilient. I am in complete awe of their ability to shed the past and focus on the future. Every time I burn one of their candles, it’s a reminder of the fortitude of the human spirit.”
