 How could a room in your home reflect Global Healing? How about your living room, dining room or kitchen?  The breakfast, lunch or dinner table?  Maybe it's the backyard.  It could even be plants or pets!  Please feel free to think about and add other spaces you frequent and share.   Share your discoveries!  We'd love to hear your discoveries!
