I have yet to take the time to explain the reasoning behind this blog's name. I simply never felt pressed to do so...until now. I've been adding things to the house, moving stuff around, and really just cleaning out and reorganizing. This has made me think about our home and what it means to us (the name behind the blog), so I thought I would take a few moments to explain it.

A Peaceful Dwelling
A journey through marriage, parenthood, and natural living from our little safe haven to yours

When Zak and I purchased our house, we were determined to make it our home. We have never been afraid to hang things on the walls or paint anything whatever color we desire. There are some houses I've been in where everything is perfectly aligned and it seems like there aren't any memories, houses like that don't throw out a homey vibe. I don't feel comfortable in places as such. We have never second guessed what we do in this house.

Our home is our dwelling. We live, reside, continue in a given condition, linger over, and ponder here. We dwell here. Our home is our safety. This is where we find refuge. We come here to escape from life's realness. Our prayer closets are in this place. We share our deepest regrets and wildest dreams here. Zak and I explore each other here; mind, soul and body. We cry together, laugh together, and support each other in this space we call home. We give grace here. Our hobbies and crafts lie here. This is where we come to refresh ourselves. We seek for opportunities and celebrate accomplishments here. Our home is the place in which we dance. This is where our son makes discoveries and milestones. He learns about himself and shares his time here. Our home is where we all make mistakes, seek forgiveness, and experience deep love. We are alive here. We thrive here.

This is our peaceful dwelling. Our home is protected. This is not a place for violence and anger. Angels surround this property and our hearts stay guarded. This is our sanctuary. Our home is intimate. It is sacred. We are free from distractions here. We are at peace here. Unity and accord abound here. Tranquility resides in this place. Negative energy can't cross into these four walls. Spiritual warfare is stopped at the door. In this place we breath fresh pure air. We heal with prayer and nature. Everything has a sense of being. Everything has a purpose here. Our minds are quiet. Serenity overcomes us. We are at peace in our home.

Our home is much more than these four walls built on land. Our home is us. We are our home. We experience the essence of life and we share honesty together in this beautiful place. This is where we come to escape and refresh. Our home is our peaceful dwelling.

This blog is a peaceful dwelling. It is where I share my honest views and opinions. This is where I share my realness. It is where I go to comfort others, escape the harshness of this world, and to bring out creativity. This is where you and I exchange advice on real topics. Together we bond. Together we give grace. Together we cry and laugh and support. This is a place where you can come and share what you need to. You can vent here. You can make discoveries and learn.

This is not a place filled with hatred and anger. This is not a gathering of name calling and belittling. Respect, grace, and forgiveness run freely here. This blog is a sanctuary. We unite together in this sacred area to uplift one another in prayer, drive away negative energy, and encourage each other in our daily lives. You have a purpose here. You have a sense of being here. We will learn and build up from each other.You will find peace here.

The home Zak and I share is filled with a constant stream of memories, grace, and love. We desire to be here and soak all that in. I wanted to create a blog that mirrored what our home is. I want my readers to feel that peace and comfort when they step into this space. You can dwell here with me. We will peacefully dwell here together.
