Three metal letters spelling out the word YES hang in the stairway of her London home.

Gillian: "I bought them about five years ago from one of those catalogs you get through the mail. I was looking through the catalog thinking, if I ordered these letters, what would I spell? At the time I was reading a book called The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle, and part of his philosophy is about being present in life. It's about saying yes to the moment, accepting it exactly as it is. And because of that, I decided to get the letters Y, E, and S. ...I'm often completely distracted, thinking about 2,000 things, and it reminds me to think positively, to slow down."
