“A heart is not judged by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by others” – Tin Man

The words “there’s no place like home” from the classic film The Wizard of Oz, are never more true than when we are feeling ill or are recovering from an illness. It’s during these times, when we seek comfort and rest, that our bedroom becomes our sacred space within our home.

*MY HAPPY PLACE and MY HAPPY HAVEN are local non-profits that redecorate and create dream bedrooms for children dealing with life-threatening illnesses and women on a cancer journey, respectively
