As a kid, I think I rearranged the rooms of almost every house on the block.

Your home should tell the story of who you are, and be a collection of what you love brought together under one roof.

You will enrich your life immeasurably if you approach it with a sense of wonder and discovery, and always challenge yourself to try new things.

It's important how we feel in our homes, because feeling good makes us more gracious. And that makes it easier to welcome others not only into our homes but into our lives.

Your home should tell the story of who you are.

I always want objects in my home that have a connection to me or something I've loved. It's still stuff, but it's stuff that has meaning.

Neither a person entirely broken nor one entirely whole can speak. In sorrow, pretend to be fearless. In happiness, tremble.

Passion + Persistence = Possibility

You risked the cub? (Dev) He’s not just a cub. (Aimee) You’re right. He’s the passenger who fell off the short bus. (Dev)

You might question a winkle - a feeling that came to you right out of the blue - but you didn’t question knowing.

God's 'failures' are really man's failures.
