In a culture that often celebrates hustle and noise, peace can feel rare. Yet, peace is the ultimate prize for so many of us and so we asked folks to reflect on when they feel most at peace.

When I’m deep in the throes of painting. Even if it’s terrible, even if the vibes aren’t going the way I wish—the peace of bringing something to life that wasn’t there before is pretty unmatched. Creating something visible with your own two hands, making a mark on the world with your singular voice—it’s pretty powerful. Read More>>

Peace drifts to me only by degrees, never in its entirety; it is not absolute but relative, a passing calm. My mind is a restless instrument, gathering too much, revisiting, and anticipating — but sometimes, even if very briefly, it capitulates, and that relative peace will exist as I describe here: It begins on a morning without obligation.

When I’m on a warm beach checking out where the sky meets the ocean. I have big plans…getting a lil’ place on the Spanish riviera where you can climb a few rocks and jump and swim in the water and repeat all the while during the breaks checking out where the sky meets the ocean…what a life!

I actually shared a post about this very question on my Facebook and Instagram pages. In it, I wrote: If someone asked me where I find a place that empties my mind and fills me with joy and inner peace, my answer would always be: a farm in the mountains. Read More>>

I feel most at peace in that soft glow after sunset, wandering the streets of a European city. Darkness is about to descend, and the city transforms before my eyes. I grab a book, a cup of coffee and lose myself in people-watching. Read More>>

My most important roles are the ones that the world at large does not see or make a priority. Being a wife, mother, and grandmother consumes my heart and soul, bringing me the most joy. Those are also the reasons I love to create beautiful, inspired spaces. Read More>>

I feel most at peace when I enjoy nature. When, at the end of day, I can sit and enjoy butterflies flitting among the blooms, birds gathering on the birdfeeders. the dew drops on the leaves and blossoms, a quiet-ness it calms my spirit. Time seems to stop when I observe. The importance of viewing God’s masterpiece in nature is always simply amazing. Read More>>

I feel most at peace when I am deeply connected to the people I’m working to serve. Rejection and criticism are never easy, especially when I’m told that HomeScreens won’t succeed unless I prioritize profit, but the voices of the houseless individuals I’ve met remind me why I started this journey.
