The Truth Is You Can Never Leave Home















Buildings are solid, but 'home' is fluid.  Home flows with the presence of our loved ones. Home is not a building or a place, even if a place remains full of family history, deep roots, tradition. 

Home is  soulful, fluid, expanding, loving, evolving.

Home is steaming cups of coffee, mellow tea, hot chocolate. It's love and laughter, rolling pretzels, 







competing against siblings and cousins to find the bell on the Christmas tree,






 playing dress up 



                     and hugging.

Home can be more than one place, because.....

Home is where the heart is!

We are leaving this home and moving to a new one. Yet neither place is truly home. Home is where hearts gather to celebrate holidays, birthdays, life ...mourn loss...support one another. Home is family, and beyond. Home is where the soul finds hope, love, and rest. Home is where we are loved, along with our gifts and flaws.  


You can never go home again, 

             but the truth is you can never leave 

                        home, so it’s all right!  Maya Angelou
