Home is Wherever I Am

Happy Birthday to Me. Year 33.

Today is my birthday and it has started with deep reflections on home and what it means to me. I recently left the home, city and people I’ve known throughout various stages of my life so this birthday is very tender. The last few weeks home has taken different forms and lasted from a couple days to a couple weeks. Each time it’s time to leave it brings up sadness. I am a creature of comfort and my comfort is home. I have been allowing myself to grow beyond my comfort zone and find what home means within myself again regardless of address.

I am reminded of the love that I bring to spaces and the way my heart shines and is felt even when our native tongues differ. My heart is home and it’s language universal.

I am reminded of the calm and groundedness that is innate in me and available to me whenever I need it regardless where I am. My inner steadiness is home and it’s presence is appreciated.

I am reminded of my spirit and how it is felt without my physical being seen, without words being spoken. My spirit is my home and it radiates.

I miss home and the Love that is there and am reminded that it will be there for me if I decide to come back to it and will be there even if I don’t. I have felt its potency even stronger being away from it. In the times when I have felt most alone on this journey the love and comforts of home have kept me moving forward and I am grateful. I am a soul that desires connection and expansion both internally and in the world. I had to grow the courage to take the first step and from there take the next and the next and the next. It is Love that continues to move me forward and this journey has shown me that there are angels near and far guiding me through.

I don’t know where I will be at the end of this day but it is my birthday no matter where I am and home is wherever I am.

If you would like to support this journey or buy me a tea or cupcake for the road you can do so here, your kindness is appreciated.

Until next time, friends.
