Let Nature
Nourish You

Spending time in nature is incredibly
cathartic and even may be medically
healing, according to some researchers. Village of Tamarind Grove resident
Barbara Filipiak brings elements of the
garden indoors by filling vases with
beautiful foliage and flowers from the
grocery store and garden.
"There's nothing like a fresh bouquet,"
she says.
Even if you don't have a green thumb,
you can bring in aspects of nature, such
as a rock garden, a Zen tabletop water
fountain, dried flowers or preserved
eucalyptus branches. These small
touches can transform a room, giving it
a serene, spa-like feel.

Your Views
Golf-course views are a draw in The
Villages. But not every room in every
home will have an outdoor jewel to
gaze at. With soft lighting, window
treatments that aren't too heavy or
obtrusive, and the perfect paintings
or photographs, you can set the mood
and create other visually inspiring
views that nurture your senses. If you
wish to make a room more tranquil,
choose art with a "meditative" theme.

Your home can
contribute to your wellbeing, and also to your
self-esteem and pride ...
