Published May 31, 2011 | 
Warmth and Chilling (as in kicking back)…
Silence and Sounds of dinner cooking, kids doing homework, or music…
Television or a movie…
Good books and
soft light coming in as the sun comes down.
Loving arms to embrace and melt into.
The evening comes upon me and I welcome it
as a baby enthusiastically suckles her source of nourishment.
All is well.
Good Night.
In Peace,
Debra

How to treat your loved ones, the Mew Way:
1. Be gentle
2. Be kind
3. Show appreciation often and especially for the little things such as a good meal and a clean litter box.
4. Look at them all lovey dovey and softly.
5. Greet them immediately upon their arrival home. Express how happy you are to see them!
6. Be affectionate.
7. Less criticism, more purring please.
8. When they are under the weather or feeling sad, snuggle up with them.
9. When they are working be a caring and supportive assistant to them by: sitting on lap or on desk near computer, lying on important paperwork that should be attended to, perching on the kitchen floor near spice cabinet to ensure a properly flavored meal, and guard the door when garbage is being taken out or when groceries are being brought in.
10. Squawk when necessary but then get over it quickly.
Thank you, Mew

A peaceful home is so key to living a high quality life. Ideally, home is an oasis for us: a refuge from the stresses of the outside world. If you don’t look forward to coming home because your family life is stressful, that is something to really work on changing for the better. Here are a few ideas for the day.
15 ways To promote peace with family members and create harmony in your home:
- Prepare and share meals together
- Turn the TV off
- Really listen to each other
- Keep the home clean and clutter free- have each member of the household help
- Keep home smelling good. Research has shown people behave better towards one another in places that smell of citrus and other good aromas.
- Arrange furniture in home so that there are spaces for coming together and enough spaces for individuals to have their own private areas.
- Respect each other’s privacy
- Mind your manners: say your please and thank yous. Treat family members as you would guests and other people.
- When in a disagreement, choose words carefully. Use “I” statements. Often, negative emotional states pass- can you wait to cool down before confronting your family member with whatever is upsetting you? The feeling may pass all together.
- Have set family “business” meetings where you and your partner can discuss finances, chores with kids, etc.
- Don’t bring work home with you. Venting once in a while is fine- but don’t make it a habit to come home and do nothing but complain about your day to your spouse and kids.
- Plan fun things to do together as a family.
- Be generous with hugs and kisses.
- Be playful
- Promote an atmosphere where each member of the household knows he or she is loved and valued.
