“Home is Everything
For each of us home is the the center of our world. It is where we design & manifest our future. Being at “home” is a feeling that makes us feel like we belong in the world. It is a predictable & secure place. It is where we manage our emotional & physical well being. It is our centering place to build and grow healthy relationships, where we orientate ourselves, maintain order, organize our lives & improve our productivity as an employee & student. So too, for aged-out foster youth once they receive their sense of home. It is a place where they can make plans for birthdays, holiday gatherings, & family dinners. It is a wellspring of inspiration to grow their confidence to go out into the world and work to improve their life. Home is the gateway for everything. It reflects how we show up in the world. “
