All in the Giving

October 31st, 2008 Vicki

There is such happiness in giving. To quote actress and humanitarian Audrey Hepburn, “The most important thing is to enjoy life ­ to be happy ­ that¹s all that matters.” At SLHL, we have taken this message to heart and are carrying on our tradition of giving by putting our efforts toward sharing a bit of happiness with deserving children in our community. Last year, we contributed boxes of toys to the Ronald McDonald House. This year, we are working together to do the same.

And we are also happy to report that collaborative efforts to produce SLHL¹s premiere Living Green Showhouse, with proceeds benefiting Cardinal Glennon Children¹s Medical Center, resulted in a generous contribution to a place where the health of children comes first. Putting smiles on their faces is forever gratifying. It was our privilege to present a magnificent green Showhouse to the St. Louis area to benefit such a worthy place.
In this issue, we bring you homes that are shining examples of happy spaces.

An urban town home and a holiday-designed suburban home are gleaming residences ­ filled with color, warmth and vision. Ideas abound within their superbly designed spaces. Take a moment to visit these feature stories and let their energy and spirit fill your own season with a resounding message of the importance of gathering with family and friends and enjoying all of life¹s happy times.

May the happiness of your holiday season be like the value of a smile ­ everlasting.  And thank you for supporting our efforts. We are thrilled to keep our commitment to you and bring year-round inspiration and idea-filled content designed to enrich your life and help make all of your days happier.
