In order to follow inner wisdom, we have to first know it. In order to know it, we have to hear it; to hear it, we have to be still. – Anne D. LeClaire

With all the talk about ‘She Sheds’ lately and having the honor of having mine profiled on Today.com, ABCnews.com and the interview I did with Weekend Sunrise out of Australia, I thought it would be fun to give you a sneak peek inside (and outside) the place I love to be everyday.

To be in silence and hear myself think has been such a gift in so many ways and my ‘she shed’ has been my sanctuary for that and so much more. Though as many of you know, I still prefer to call this my Zen writing cottage.

Little did I know when my husband built this 10 x 12 quaint space for me in 2009 that they would become such a trend as they are today. But if they encourage others to find their creativity and listen to their hearts, as I did, well, then I say, go for it!

I put this little video tour together in hopes that it will be inspirational to those wishing to carve out a little place of their own. Everyday I’m so thankful for this sweet spot in my backyard that has evolved over the years and has been the place I come to continue to grow and be the best that I can be.

Be sure to watch until the very end when I share my favorite spot inside my writing cottage.

Enjoy the video tour!
