The editors have collected responses from Instagram and interviews:
“To lose myself in a good thriller. Makes me forget about everything else.” ~ Deb Cordova, NY
"I start off my day in solace. I drop my 9-year-old daughter at the bus stop and get a loving glance goodbye from her, quietly meditate in my car, and exercise. This daily morning routine guides my presence, mood, and practice all throughout my day into seeing patients. I additionally get fueled when I have an engaged, connected interaction with a patient. It reminds me of my purpose, what’s meaningful to me, and who I am and strive to be. I end off my day with moments with my husband, three boys, daughter, and my two dogs. Although chaotic at times, I celebrate the humanness of it all and appreciate the family my husband and I cultivated." ~ Michelle Maidenberg, Ph.D. , NY
"I find my sanctuary by praying." ~ Tatiana Saba
"My sanctuary is in the lake and wildlife surrounding me." ~ Cheryl Thorson, FL
"I find my joy, peace, and fulfillment when I am doing what I love and with whom I love. That almost always includes some form of art, whether it be drawing or painting, music or dance, comedy or radio; those things make me feel alive and valuable and happy in a way that I don’t find otherwise. Art isn’t just something I do; it’s who I am, and how I share and interact with others." ~ Linda Adelstein Watson, NY
The editors will continue to collect responses to #WheresYourSanctuary and share them with you via monthly videos and throughout our site. Readers may also look for responses under the hashtag on social media.
