Feeling at Home – A Love Letter to Mother Earth 🍃

---

As I’m sitting on my front porch, the breeze cooling my body as the sun stamps it with intense heat, I can’t help but think of the word home. 

Today is Earth Day – which I admittedly forgot about until I scrolled past a few Instagram posts throughout the day.

Home is a universal word, translated into dozens of languages. Yet it holds such a unique and profound meaning for each of us. Whether home is a place, a person, or a thing, there is something that grounds us… brings us comfort… and allows us to let all our walls down. 

Home, to me, feels like a long, deep breath — the kind where you let out an “ahhhh..” as your eyes gently close.

On this globally recognized day to celebrate the Earth, I’m grateful that there is a place on it for each of us — a place where we can belong, breathe, and feel at home.

Sometimes, it seems as though there’s more chaos than peace — and maybe there’s truth to that. But let’s not lose sight of those still moments — if we’re privileged enough to have them — where we can pause, slow down, and breathe. 

Look around you today. Feel the ground you’re standing on, and the air that surrounds you. 

There’s so much life where you are — and even more to discover, if you’re curious enough. ☘️
