Home is where the money is..


What makes a house, or an apartment, a condo, a cabin, a home? Everywhere we look, there's another expert telling us the answer lies in something we don't have, from fancy bed linens to an interior decorator. What we would all benefit from learning is that the feeling of being "at home" can't be bought. When we think about what it is exactly that makes a home, family, the feeling of confort and safety, none of it can be bought with money. The most important things are what we have right in hands already.
I have noticed that we worry a lot about what our home looks like instead of how it makes us feel. That costly renovation or those silky sheets matter less than whether our living spaces nourish us as human beings.
I worry that people dont see whats really important in making a home, instead, spending thousands upon thousands of dollars on materialistic things. Have we as a society lost sight of whats really important in making a home? or is money the new way to go in making a home?
