You’ve heard us talk about the way location and place can impact our ability to thrive. We are delighted to highlight an organization that is creating beautiful spaces for people who need a fresh start. Love Your Neighbor creates custom designed environments that have a positive impact on the health and well-being of individuals and families transitioning out of poverty, violence, and hard circumstances. We enjoyed learning more about Love Your Neighbor’s mission and purpose in a chat with founder and executive director, Nancy Shepherd, who also happens to be an interior designer, entrepreneur, people-connector, longtime friend, and all-around lovely person.
