It’s hard for me to to believe, but it’s been almost seven years since I left my home in Hawaii. I miss it terribly. Hawaii is my Heart Home.
Orchids and Palms
It’s taken me forever to get over the shock and trauma that happened right before I left — I still haven’t told the story yet, it upsets me so much. I will, I promise.
But in between times, I call on my favorite parts of Hawaii to comfort myself and lullaby me to sleep at night. My favorite orchid, who bloomed incessantly right outside my window, under the swaying coconut palms.
Sometimes I can even kinda feel the soft Trade Wind breezes seep into my window and caress me to sleep.
One day I will return — not sure when, but for sure I’ll go. Probably to Kauai, where I spent many good years.
Where is Home to your heart? What place feels most comfy and safe and like everything is Good for you there?
