I remember when my home didn’t feel like home,

when it felt like a lonely and scary place,

I remember that I didn’t want to go home,

I’d do all I could do to stay away,

I didn’t feel nurtured, beautiful or inspired,

so I guess it wasn’t a home then at all!

Because a home should be a safe place,

truly it should!

It should feel like a safe place to lay your head,

a place to feel nurtured and warm,

a place where there is room for laughter and happiness,

yet room for it to be ok to make mistakes without fear.

I have a home now,

I have a space that I fill with flowers, candles and soft furnishings,

I fill it with pretty things and take lots of pretty pictures,

but more than that I have a space where I feel safe.

I have a place I can call ‘home’ because it is truly my soft place to fall.

It is filled with giggles of children,

and an excited dog who welcomes us home,

a man who loves me for all my weirdness,

and I totally love him back for his.

If home is where the heart is,

then there is one thing I know for sure,

I have found the best kind of home,

and I love going through that front door!
