Inspired homes can change lives. We just need to look below the surface. Home- Inspired by Love and Beauty, explores how your home can be an inspiring friend and partner in creating a meaningful good life. Homes have the potential to support our dreams, teach, heal, and co-parent. They also inspire us to create beauty and clarify values. Homes are mirrors of our consciousness as well as our personal lever for changing the world. Stories, exercise, and practical suggestions stimulate questions and insights that open up desires and insights you didn't know were waiting for you. You may find yourself rejoicing, reflecting, exploring, or crying as stories of others who love their homes connect with your life. It's rare to find such an integrated story drawing from many fields of research; even more exceptional is to find someone who turns to the people who love their homes to find wisdom and expertise. For anyone who wants the place they live to fulfill their heart's desire and see possibilities with new eyes. The stories are simultaneously touching, motivating, and thoroughly enjoyable to read. They model practical spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and physical self-help. Lulic explores the full dimension of home: buying a home, meaningful living, decorating with simple beauty, home maintenance made meaningful, harmonious relationships with both two footed and four footed inhabitants, homes as parenting helpers, gardens as teachers and connectors to community, environmental values, the role of money in homes, rituals and rites of passage at home, values and hiring experts, and leaving home. In the process, Lulic notices the relationship of homes to local, national, and global issues.
