Everyone needs to be awakened to The Design Enlightenment®. This is because everyone deserves to have their home feel sacred. Of course, this feeling is really more of an attitude that starts from our personal experiences of what sacred means to us. No one can deny the feeling we get when we walk “into” the most sacred space of all, which is not even created by us but exists all around us in nature. When we view a beautiful sunset, or reflections on a lake, these moments are sacred and strike a chord with our subconscious mind that cannot be denied.
My aim with The Design Enlightenment® Movement if to have you tap into your heart for answers to your deepest desires, creating your yellow brick road taking you safely home.
The Design Enlightenment® Movement is about finding out what is right for you in regards to the spaces we give labels to, without the preconceived notions of someone else’s life. This is totally about what works for you, and I grant you the FREEDOM and permission to use your rooms as you wish.
As in my journey, we start with our first steps. If the destination is distant or untraveled, it helps greatly to have a road map or a guide. In my many years of creating beautiful and functional interiors as a designer. I have traveled to many personalized destinations for others and can say that as with real traveling, the adventure lies in the uniqueness of the places visited.
