Naming -
"We want you to go from being an address to being at your named place, the place with your marker for the sake of it, for the joy of it, for the love of it."
The significance of a name has been a topic of discussion for centuries. In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Juliet ponders whether a rose would still smell as sweet if it were called something else. Ideas around meaning have led to a larger conversation about the importance of naming, particularly when naming your home or project. A good name can serve as an impetus for the entire project, and just like a movie has a working title that evolves throughout the process, naming your home can also be an evolving process. Whether you already have a name in mind or discover it along the way, finding a name that represents your vision is crucial. In today's podcast, we'll explore the power of naming and how it can transform your project.
Here are key things to listen out for:
● Naming things and their meanings

Notable Quotes
While the word name is not necessarily important, what the words mean to us do, and those can affect things.
It's great to see you putting yourself into your home project. By making it personal, you're being fully present and creating a meaningful connection, and it's worth sharing what drives you to do this.
When you love your home, inviting people to visit is like sharing a part of yourself. It's like naming a child, and it's up to others to interpret its significance.
I want to help you turn your dream home into a reality. It's not just about making a custom home; it's about being present in the moment and allowing this project to unfold and reflect who you are and what you want for your life.
Our actions can have unpredictable outcomes; we must perceive them and respond accordingly. Whether it's better or worse than expected, we must roll with it and see what happens next.
We want you to go from just being at an address to being at your named place, the place with your marker, for the sake of it, for the joy of it, for the love of it.
