“ Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again.”

HOME IS MY SACRED PLACE— wherever my cute husband, our little doggies and our family is— that is home, that is SACRED.

This is where healing takes place, This is where caring takes place. This is where the ultimate expression of hospitality takes place.
Everything I say and do should declare that“ I see you... I honor you... and you have unconditional worthiness.”
Let there be no gossip. Let there be no negativity. Let us only lift each other up, as we lift up those we take care of. Let us be grateful that there are people who entrust us with their health; People who rely on us and our gifts. May we never take that for granted or grow complacent. This ground is not sacred because of my degrees, or certifications, or expertise. It is sacred because“ caring” happens here. Healing happens here. Love happens here.
From this day forward, I will consistently care for my guests, care for my colleagues, and care for myself.
As long as I have breath, I will do everything I can to keep this ground sacred.
