About This Quote

A sacred space is not a place to hide out. It is a place where we recognize ourselves and our commitments. A sacred space is one that you bring your personal energy into, whether it’s a room, or an area of your life, or something that you have created. You are the only one who can decide if it’s sacred or not, because it’s you who has to live there.
