"Four Letter Words"...that change lives!

 

HOME... your door closes. The rushing world outside quickly melts into the background. You feel the mask of your public face relaxing into the honest beauty of your true self - the private person you feel safe sharing with those close to you. Keys drop, shoes fall, and you sigh with delight as your spine sinks safely into the nearest comfy chair.       

 

SAFE... meals to prepare, homework to supervise, laundry to gather, bills to pay and bedtime stories waiting to be heard. These are the activities of this private place known as "home".

 

REST... Home is the 'nest' which cradles our life experiences.  Home is where we are free to be ourselves, to love, cry, laugh and disagree.  We celebrate achievements, discover our strengths and declare our personal beliefs.  Within these walls, we learn respect and support for ourselves and members of our family.  These four walls are the recovery site for our hurts, fears and health challenges and the launching pad for our hopes, dreams, and ambitions.

What have you experienced, since inhabiting your current home? Is the ‘story’ of your life one of financial success, loving relationships, increasing career choices, outstanding academic performance and glowing health?  Or, are there some decidedly difficult areas in one or more of these areas?  You are not alone.  Even when life is running smoothly, there are always those quiet hopes for ‘just a little more’... money, love, respect, achievement.
