Bridge In Pink Sunset

Maine Home + Design Show, #93

Sunday, June 23, 2013

Home. It’s a short word, but it means so much. It’s where we raise our children, make our sanctuary, find our peace, and support our community. Home is more than a place—it’s a state of mind. When we embrace people and places, when we call them ours, we become part of the landscape itself. Our contributions and our experiences help enrich our surroundings, just as our surroundings help to shape us. Every individual is a product of their surroundings, and every town, every home, is reflective of the people that have called it theirs.

Join the Dr. Lisa Radio Hour this Sunday, June 23, as for our discussion on the Maine Home + Design Show. We will talk about houses, homes, and landscapes, and what these places mean to us. Tune in on Sunday, or click on the link below to listen.
