I'm home and it's 10:28pm. I just finished teaching my night class and I'm going to get this post in just shy of a new day! I'm late.
What am I inspired by today besides the full moon and lots of stars in the city sky? I'm inspired by home.
It's the place that's always here for me when I get done from work. It's the place where my husband also comes home to after his long day teaching yoga classes.
It's my retreat, refuge, sanctuary and habitat. It's where I cook, eat, sleep, ponder, dream, write books, do art, have conversations with my husband about life, occasionally entertain friends, take a bath and garden in the spring.
Our house was recently remodeled by one of my husband's yoga students. We live in a 1940s Seattle bungalow. Our house has old world charm and lots of the original characteristics from that time period, but we've modernized it a bit.
It needed an update and hadn't had a real one in its entire life span. Now it is much cozier.
Someday I'll show before and after pictures!
On days that I feel like running away to the Southwest, I try to remember how lucky I am to live in a great city with lots of culture and nature! The city is full of towering Evergreen trees and lot of wonderful hiking trails and views of Puget Sound and the Olympic and Cascade Mountains, but it also has amazing restaurants, coffee shops, movie theaters, you name it! I love this about Seattle.
But really, home is what you make of it no matter where you live. I think my husband and I have made it as cozy and peaceful as we can.

So today my inspiration is home. I'm so happy I get to come back here. Now off I go to sink into the bathtub.
Do you like where you live? Are you happy with your home?
