I would need to give it more thought, but my first thought is that home is wherever I tuck my kids into bed at night. Might blog this one - lovely to think about and quite revealing about the author. This is lovely.

A home to me is where I can be me. I feel at home with some of my family back home. There is McKedge, with whom I am always home, no matter where we have lived. There are a few friends that I can be with or go to their houses and feel like "home" Home is the people around me who encourage me to be me and when I am alone home is my ability to find peaceful solitude-ness in an encouraging environment (nyc, art on the walls, etc).

"Homemaker" is definitely one of my personal archetypes, guided over by the Goddess Vesta, I'm sure ;) The first 'home' I made was when I was little. I would hang a huge blanket, and some towels, from the corner tree in the backyard. More like a tent, really :) But I'd have all my little dishes in one place, and a nice clean place to lay down. A few treasures, maybe a friend or two, and I could camp out all day in my House. I've had lots of practice since then....I have moved no less that 17 times over the course of my life. Not sure if it's some latent Gypsy gene or what...but there's something so powerful and renewing to have an empty space to work with...sort of like when I sit in front of a blank canvas or computer screen. I take the things that I love and reconfigure them. Each and every time I come up with something I love even more, and my friends and family always tell me how much peace they sense, how lovely and serene it is. And I did it on quite a budget! Here's what really makes it "home" though. The first time I clean it from top to bottom. LOL Something about scrubbing floors and toilets just makes me very possessive of the territory ! ;) Oh, I like this alot! “Homemaker” is definitely one of my personal archetypes, guided over by the Goddess Vesta, I’m sure ;) The first ‘home’ I made was when I was little.
