I am at home, no matter where I am.
This week has been like coming home, in more ways than one.
Somehow, I feel Earth week is MY week. I am a tree-hugger. My husband and kids are tree huggers. My parents grew up in villages in the mountains of their country where nature was respected for it's power and glory. The focal point of our home renovation was the addition of a greenhouse-like front entry. Our foyer has nine sky lights and is flooded with light when the sun is out. At night, you can see the stars and the moon, and during a shower (or thunderstorm) you can hear the water hitting the glass. Our foyer is filled with plants that flourish under these conditions.
This week, also, I brought my father home from the hospital and arranged services to support him. Being in my childhood home makes me feel grounded. Though my current situation is difficult, I stay strong (or, at least, am trying to stay strong) through the grounding I have in my family and in my faith. My soul truly feels at home, no matter where I am.
Today, I plan to complete the circle by creating an alter at work so wherever I am, I have a place to land.

WOW. Your foyer sounds absolutely magical! I am so glad your soul has found belonging.
Your home and your family sound lovely.
When I read about the village in mountain it real got my attention and wonder where this place may be.
I live in a such of place.
But people here has a different look on tree huggers.
But more or I'm finding more and more people in my area is more in tune with mother earth.
I haven't done much with my home which does make me sad but I've came to the conclusion I'm not super being.
Coffee is on.
Your home sounds a lovely place to be. :)

How wonderful that you've created a home where nature is invited in through light, through sound. Delicious!
It's amazing how we find grounding in challenging times. I'm sending positive, healing vibes for you, for your father and for all of your family. May you all be surrounded by love and healing.
The altar at work sounds like a great idea, Lillian. I too wish you well with the care of your father.
Your foyer sounds so beautiful...like a sanctuary.
