Review: OM for the HOME by Carrie Leskowitz
In the home/life connection. I read many books and occasionally write a review about them.
Recently, I have been looking over life coach Carrie Leskowitz OM for the HOME book in which she shares her holistic approach to curating an environment.
When looking at interiors, I tend to gravitate to those with Architectural details. The design elements that typically catch my fancy are interesting angles and textures.
Time spent in my dads work shop, forged in me an appreciation of wood grains natural beauty and I frequently find myself drawn to interiors which exhibit unique wood patterns.
Leskowitz advocates creating a positive flow to promote health and happiness and teaches us to ask ourselves fundamental questions. Of them, my favorite is, “What, or who inspires me?”
I do like an open floor plan and my husband is more geared towards traditional. I'm aware that small changes can produce boundless effects so we have learned we function best by compromising. One thing we both agree upon is our excitement of discovery and with that said we both have tactile interest and appreciate sensory triggers.
Leskowitz establishes when we make choices we may wish to consider, "How does this make me feel?”
We have bookcases full of cherished books and we also have plants, fossils, bowls of shells and pinecones scattered about our home. We find hiking in the woods, fossil hunting and spending time at the beach to be relaxing. Our collections of these items remind us of that peaceful feeling. This, fits in well with Leskowitz final exercise which is Home as Self-Portrait. She explains this exercise can easily be accomplished by knowing yourself.
I received a copy of this helpful book from Catherine Kennedy, Freelance Publicist.
