The longest journey is often the one that leads you back home.
A peaceful home is not perfection—it’s belonging. It’s the space where you are enough, just as you are.
Research in Frontiers in Psychology (Junot et al., 2017) links a sense of belonging at home with higher life satisfaction, lower anxiety, and increased optimism.
Home is where laughter softens fear, prayer meets possibility, and presence heals absence. When we tend our homes with intention, they mirror our growth—places not of escape, but of return.
The true art of homecoming lies in gratitude. The more we cherish what we have, the more our homes radiate warmth to everyone who enters.
Action Step:
Write one sentence today beginning with “Home is where…” and finish it from the heart. Keep it where you’ll see it daily.
“And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.” — T.S. Eliot
