One of my favorite authors, Henri Nouwen, once wrote that "hospitality is the creation of a free space where the stranger can enter our lives and become a friend instead of an enemy." I try and live by this idea and look at every encounter in life as an opportunity to welcome a new person, experience or moment into my life. Creating a free space is as much about readying ourselves as it is preparing to welcome another into our lives. For me, the keys to being at home with myself are acceptance, love and peace. What defines the "free space" in your life?
