Episode #5 - Ah, we did it. We made it through January. Now, here we are in February - a month of love and romance. For me it is a month of nostalgia. My mother would be celebrating her 84th birthday on the 15th. Early this month, a dear childhood friend of mine will celebrate her something- ith birthday! February doesn't have to be all about couples! This is a wonderful time to celebrate the many relationships we have or have had with people - past and present. In this episode, I rekindle a wonderful connection with a friend from my childhood and what a conversation we share. I can't wait for you to dive in too. Ellen Lee is a rare find. Tenacious, bold, beautiful, and ridiculously funny, there isn't a situation - good or bad - she doesn't welcome with a zestful curiosity and humble appreciation. Ellen is a creative thinker able to ingeniously weave together ideas and principles of interior design with all the senses. It’s called sensory input or sensory design. The sensory designer’s task is to render a space vivid enough for the individual to actually be who they truly ought to be. Ultimately, that is to be happy. A single room can yield enough power to change how we feel and what we experience. Our senses move us through space, according to an article on the subject, Why Sensory Design (Lupen, Lipps. 2018), that space entwined with the senses can evoke memory and emotion, time and place, which you will learn in Ellen's recounts of her life's journey. Ellen's capacity for appreciation both in her profession and every day life is a sweet reminder that enduring through life's hardships only serves to show us what beauty lies with each of us, and what mastery we are capable of achieving. So, take the time this month to connect with someone, something or some place and savor the delicious sensation of the here and now! In this episode, Ellen reveals her three favourite books: Architecture of Happiness by Alain de Botton The Complete Far Side by Gary Larson Mãn by Kim Thúy You can find Ellen Lee online ellenleedesign.ca.
