I am like a newborn.
I have what I have today;
I have my fingers, my toes,

but only a dream - nothing more.
I will make all decisions and actions based solely
on what I have today as a starting point."

Home is our sanctuary, where we:
relax into being ourselves,
play with our inner child,
paint the walls green and pink,
dig in the dirt,
grow something,
love somebody else,
love ourselves even more,

hang "go away" on the door whenever we want,
clean and tidy often... or never,
launch from and return to,
are truly ourselves.
