(noun)

- the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness

Friends. We have covered a lot of ground in the last 12 days, from creating boundaries to infusing play in our spaces and more!

There is just one more bit...

Gratitude.

As you may be able to tell, I have the habit of falling in love with the spaces I create.

Spacemaking is a very connected and personal thing for me and I can become...smitten. In the past few years I've realized that it's not the physical container I adore, it's the version of me (or my client) that is expressed in the space.

Creating and nourishing space takes effort whether it be shifting your home office environment, understanding relationship nuances, or navigating local community dynamics. It's not easy to recognize, acknowledge, and make room for shifting needs or dreams. It's vulnerable business.

The spaces we create and nourish will witness the good and the bad. Striving for and reaching our goals...struggling and bargaining with failure...nursing broken hearts and physical ailments...celebrating first loves and dear friends/family.

However...

The spaces we create and nourish will support us in our journey of becoming, well, us.

Even through the potential mess and confusion, that is a beautiful thing.

So, on this last day of our spacemaking journey, I'd like to send you out in the world with gratitude for yourself and the spaces you create and nourish in the world. Because you do this every day. Every. Single. Day.

Please take a minute to acknowledge and thank yourself.

You're doing great.
