AREN’T WEBSITES THAT END in “project” and are devoted to building community awesome? (You better say “yes!”) Well, I think so. Accordingly, I’ve been loving This is Home Project–a site filled with visual representations of the many ways we identify home. It’s quite simple, really. Complete the sentence “Home is _____.” and send it along to the project. A winning phrase will be selected by readers and made into post cards. I’m ruminating on my entry, but it’s hard to feel inspired when my current home looks like it had a violent run-in with an IKEA truck. How would you fill in the blank?

Your home may look like it had a “violent run-in with an IKEA truck” (love that image) but mine looks empty without you here at the “office” with me and my only remaining helper, Useless Jack.
Home is where meals are made with love and eaten with laughter. Where traditions are made and where you always return to.
Aw, Sister M, I feel you on that one. I’m missing your home just as much as my own! And its inhabitants with their varying levels of fur, of course. Too bad Jack has turned out to be useless. I, er, didn’t see that one coming.
@Amy, hello there! Welcome, welcome. What a beautiful image you’ve captured. I couldn’t have said it better myself.
Home is where I can collapse onto the bed after running around all day and relax with some music. In other words, it’s beyond just where I pay rent.
This question is very, very deep. More difficult, even, than, “What is love.” Hmmm. I need to nosh on this one.
any where, any time, close your eyes and find home
Home is where Deb is!
Recently on NPR I heard someone say “Home is where they let me in”. I thought of your question Anna. Your home can be under the covers in your warm bed. Or your room…house, home town, state, region country, and someday…just maybe….the planet earth. Then everywhere you go, you will be home.
