And it is so true that many do not. I have a friend who was once homeless and he said he got used to being so present that he could look at the whole Earth or anywhere he laid his head that night as home. He had to find a way to dig deep to feel that sense of serenity without the safety and comfort of a structure around him. He is one deep guy and I appreciate the deeper perspetive that you bring out in your blog and I can tell your mission in relation to Real Estate is much deeper then just moving houses. You can tell as you are patient with your clients that you allow them to figure out what will work (while providing advice and your perspective) for them. Therefore they are not buying just a house but a home. Jeff in Burlington, Vermont Hi Chris,

The idea of home has never been more important to grasp than now. In a time where national disasters come more frequently, our wallets have never been hit so deeply and our idea of social and professional status been more threatened. It's not about the house and car anymore, but the idea of home. Rather than keeping up with our neighbors, maybe we should give more care and attention to them and find out that their last name actually isn't Jones! I recently moved away from Vermont to Colorado. After nearly 3 years and several visits back to the northeast, I have realized that home is more important than ever. Home is the friendships that continue to be nurtured and, in fact, several have grown stronger. The bond that we have with our community, family and our physical environment and the relationships we form with mountains big and small become our true essence of "home". Thank you for this recent post. We need to be reminded more that ever to love our "home", to create "home" and to share "home" with others! You have reminded me that I have 2 homes. Happy Autumn!
