Welcome

Home is the Country of the Heart (previously The Write Place) welcomes you.

Home is a structure which gives shelter. It is a place for daily rest and renewal. It is loved ones to have companionship with. Home is also a concept of connection and belonging. This is at the core of many of the writings.

When we look on the world as home it changes things. It asks us to look upon things differently. Appreciation and new understandings are invited in.

Browse the writings. Find words that speak to you. Open to the wonderful gift of being alive which we celebrate when we take time to discover home truths within us.

Use the writings as a launch pad for more reading, more connection, more reflection and more growth. Life is a series of common denominators. Be reminded of how much we share in matters of the heart.
