HOME<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isn\u2019t the place you grew up in<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unless you want it to be<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It isn\u2019t your spouse, your parent\u2019s or your children\u2019s needs or wants,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unless you let it be<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many Noble reasons<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why you might let HOME<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be defined by others\u2019 needs, and never your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget to celebrate those sacrifices<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nor forgive yourself \u2026.for being, or even needing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To Be, To Love, To Sacrifice, to NEED<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are all part of being human<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To find your own home<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is the epitome of taking care of yourself so you can care for others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t ever forget \u2013 while you love and sacrifice<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To explore and find space for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find your home<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let it sustain you<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let it be your source of giving and love<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget to give gratitude<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That you\u2019ve found your true place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember to praise your source<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every Single Day<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embrace HOME, with Loving, Giving, Caring<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But don\u2019t forget to care for yourself first \u2013 and to find your HOME.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
