Home

What does home mean to you?

Does it mean a warm cozy space to call your own? 

Somewhere where love resides? 

Is home where all of your possessions are? 

What about all of those people in life who do not have a home, either physically, emotionally or spiritually? 

These are the people who need a home the most. 

These wonderful people who have just forgotten where they belong are the ones who come to me and I help them find their way home. 

Once people remember what home feels like and how safe it is, then they can move forward.  They will feel more at ease, relaxed and can see life with the sun shining and not with a cloud that is over it.

I have often in my life felt like I am not at home.  I think the experience as a  young person of moving many times within a military family, made me feel like there was might always be a new home just around the corner.

 I lost the feeling of home, because I thought it had to be a place. 

I thought it had to be a solid structure where I could lay my head at night in the knowledge that I was safe and secure within my home.

I often thought that also meant family friends and loved ones. 

As I learned Reiki I learned that when they say home is where the heart is, it means where your heart is.  Where your love is.  The love for yourself.  

I may not be finished with the geography of home yet, but I feel I am getting closer to it. 

In my heart, and in my soul I have found home.  The love that I have for me at this point in my life has shown me that I will always be at home no matter where I go. Wherever I travel, or decide to move my life again, I will always have me with me.

 I will always have my memories, my gifts, my love for myself, my love for all who touch my world, my desires, and my intelligence.  I can never loose those things.

That is what home is about.  Feeling at home with yourself.  Feeling ok with what is.

Beyond that, it’s all just geography.  Having the ability to help anyone feel at home around me is something I have loved to be able to do for others.  What better thing is there to do than help people feel like they have found home. 

For those of you who feel like you are not home, where it is and what it feels like, it’s all about the love you have for yourself.  When you are cold and tired when you are hungry and you feel like you are a long way from home, remember, to find joy in the things around you, find joy in your heart and your soul.  You won’t find home by looking for it outside, look inside of you, it’s there, I promise.  And then I feel like I am on a mission in this life.  To love everyone for who they are and who they are not, and to help those who don’t know how to love themselves remember that home is with them wherever they go.  So welcome home my friends, welcome home.  In every minute of every day. .  For you are love.
