During this week’s Wellness Wednesday Meditation Class on Facebook Live, I shared a quote from the “phenomenal woman,” Dr. Maya Angelou, one of my favorite sheroes, about home.

“The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.”

I used Dr. Angelou’s quote to introduce a mindful reflection on how we are nourishing our physical home and the homes we inhabit in our body, mind with our thoughts, emotions with our heart, and soul with our spirit.

I also shared an excerpt from my poem, “Home” that is published in my book, That Which Awakens Me (available on Amazon).
