The Art of Living for Women. Beautiful Spaces. Spring Cleaning.
“"We need beauty....Our homes cannot contain the beauty of the starry sky, the Grand Canyon, the dome of St. Peter's....But it is in our thoughtful homes that we are given the change to pause and gaze and wonder, to slow down enough to recognize beauty in familiar, homely things....In them, we learn how to respond to the beauty we encounter elsewhere: to spend a few minutes watching a glorious sunset instead of hurrying back inside to get things done, to gaze at St. Peter's instead of turning our backs for a selfie, to smile back at the smiling face of our infant daughter instead of trying to capture her smile on our phone."
(Dia Boyle, The Thoughtful Home, p. 75)

The Thoughtful Home: A Book Event With Author Dia Boyle
Our hearts tell us….
that a good home is of great importance to the happiness of those we love and to our own personal happiness, and yet so many of us are frustrated, anxious, and lacking in confidence when it comes to making such a home.
In this book, author Dia Boyle muses about the profound and rapid changes over the past century that leave us at the mercy of a consumer culture which values efficiency and comfort above the true human good. We don’t have a reliable path to follow. But we can figure this out! Join Dia in exploring what a home is, what it does, what it is for.
This book is for you, whether you are preparing for marriage or already deeply immersed in caring for a family, whether you live alone or are now making a home in an “empty nest.” Anyone involved in the work of making a home, regardless of age and ability, family circumstances, homemaking styles, and professional commitments outside of the home, will find The Thoughtful Home useful and illuminating.
