May Your Walls Know Joy

Book excerpt: From the author of Life Begins When You Do comes a collection of warm words and welcoming colors to make you feel right at home. Mary Anne Radmacher could be the Martha Stewart of inspired living—living life to its fullest. Her previous books, Live Boldly and Lean Forward into Your Life, share stories and strategies for savoring every morsel of this life and living up to our fullest potential and beyond our wildest dreams. In May Your Walls Know Joy, Radmacher returns to her signature style, combining a few poetic, aphoristic words with beautifully constructed four-color art. This book is a celebration of home and family and all that they mean—a refuge from the world, a creative incubator, where lives are lived and friends are welcome. This book is a benediction and a blessing for a new home (or for a special occasion in an old home): “May your walls / know joy, / each room / hold laughter, and every window open to great possibility. May home be the place from which you launch your dreams.” Perfect for a housewarming gift or house blessing, or for readers of Catholic Household Blessings and Prayers, House Blessings, or Being Home.
