SPIRIT Archives - Reinventing Home

A guide to the well-lived life. Reads like Brainpickings for the home, covering everything from relationships and culture to our place in the natural world.

Poetic and inspiring. You'll want to polish a table until it glistens, fill your living room with roses, and thank the house for nurturing your dreams and hopes.

Explores the ancient traditions of caring for the hearth while considering our modern challenges of rootlessness, lack of time, and daily stress. A hymn to our search for home---wherever we can find it.

Toni Morrison Says Home is Where the Heart Is

“I’ve had many kinds of jobs, but have never considered the level of labor to be the measure of myself (or) placed the security of a job above the value of home.”

John O’Donohue’s Soulful Home

“When you visit someone at home, the door into the house…is rich with the textures of presence from all the welcomes and valedictions that have occurred on that threshold.”

Sensuous Housekeeping

We devour books like The Magical Art of Tidying Up because they teach us how to groom our homes and keep them free from clutter. Yet we want much more than a spanking clean closet and a living room that’s easy on the eyes. We hunger for a rich and sensuous rapport—an ongoing love affair with home that makes us want to hunker down and never leave it.
