HOME IS MY SACRED PLACE — wherever my cute husband , our little doggies and our family is — that is home , that is SACRED .

This is where healing takes place , This is where caring takes place . This is where the ultimate expression of hospitality takes place .
Everything I say and do should declare that “ I see you ... I honor you ... and you have unconditional worthiness .”
Let there be no gossip . Let there be no negativity . Let us only lift each other up , as we lift up those we take care of . Let us be grateful that there are people who entrust us with their health ; People who rely on us and our gifts . May we never take that for granted or grow complacent . This ground is not sacred because of my degrees , or certifications , or expertise . It is sacred because “ caring ” happens here . Healing happens here . Love happens here .
From this day forward , I will consistently care for my guests , care for my colleagues , and care for myself .
As long as I have breath , I will do everything I can to keep this ground sacred .
