Everyone Deserves Their Own Spot

Every woman needs her own spot, a little corner of the world where she can call her own.

I have had this chaise lounge for over 25 years and it has always been a place where I could sit and dream or read or pray.


Now it sits in the corner of my studio. I no longer have just a spot. I have a room and it's wonderful. However for many years my chaise lounge was never in a quiet spot because with 4 children, there were none! Even so, when I would sit in my chaise lounge, usually early in the morning, I could always find quiet and comfort there.

Sometimes now when someone comes to our home and sits there they often comment on how it feels so peaceful sitting in it.

I love my "spot" with a quilt in case I'm chilly. Just add a few favorite books...

a "spot " of tea in my own little tea pot for one.. a few little bears that remind me of my mom. and I have the perfect spot.
Sometimes what we think is perfect , isn't quite, so I must be honest and show you the other end of the room. This beautiful little corner is in the midst of my constantly messy sewing studio.
But if I just look out the window and have my back to the mess, I can pretend that I have the perfect life, just for awhile.
Perhaps you can find a spot of your own in your home. Take a favorite chair, cover it with something warm and cosy to wrap up in, put a flower or candle on a table. Grab a few magazines or a book, fix something comforting to drink, turn your back to the mess and enjoy your own spot. After all, "Everyone deserves their own spot".
