NAMING WHAT IT IS
When I describe my experience accurately, I give myself a clearer place from which to begin.
THE MEANING OF HOME
Home can be a place, a person, a memory, or a feeling.
REFLECTION
The meaning of home changes as we move through life. Sometimes it is the house where we grew up. Sometimes it's a room we've made our own, a familiar neighborhood, or a group of people who welcome us without explanation. We may feel connected to places we can no longer visit or discover a sense of home somewhere entirely unexpected. What makes a place meaningful isn't always its physical structure, but the experiences and relationships we associate with it.
