Possessions do not make a home

Home is where you go to recharge your batteries.  Create a calm home and then all who live in or visit your home will feel refreshed from spending time there.

Love and compassion make a home welcoming.  Focus your attention on these things rather than collecting and managing ‘stuff’.  A happy, calm home will be far more rewarding than a house full of possessions

Dedicated to my mother and the wonderful two little boys in our family who represent the next generation arriving.
