To say my office needed an upgrade was an understatement. It’s the one space where the source of our energy comes and somehow it was the one space that has been neglected in my home. For 8 years of being here it was always put off, “when we get to it.” I could not put it off any longer. Working from home during the quarantine means a lot more time facing all the parts of you, including the ones you’ve been ignoring. So Mother’s Day weekend my raspberry cream blintzes came with a little extra something. A gift card to IKEA to pick up all the furniture and decor I have been eyeing since we moved in. And off I went!

I hope my space inspires you to make your workspace your sanctuary. As Oprah says, “your home should rise up to greet you. At the end of the day, it should ground you in a sense of peace.” This room definitely does. I’m so in love with it and I can’t tell you what this has done for my mental health. It has been so healing to have a project to focus on and to finally have a space with good energy for my creative work. I’m already 1,000 times more productive here.
