Redefining “Home”
Dear friends,
Today marks exactly eight months since I flew out of Los Angeles.
Since then, I have been led on an adventure of a lifetime and have lived and traveled across five countries and three continents.
These travels have allowed for many unforgettable and life-changing experiences. They have also offered invaluable lessons and insights, one of which has been redefining what “home” means.
I now believe home to be wherever and whenever we feel safe and at peace with ourselves.
Home is wherever and whenever we have surrendered and are moving in alignment with the moment-to-moment guidance of our inner being.
Home is wherever and whenever we are fully present in the here and now.
As much as I have missed my loved ones and the comforts of living in my own home, I am incredibly grateful for the ability to feel at home at any moment, anywhere in the world.
The power we feel once we are truly home and at peace with ourselves in the present moment is indescribable.
This power gives us the ability to savor the fullness of life regardless of our external environment and circumstances.
This power gives us the confidence and courage to navigate our way through any and all challenges.
This power allows us to embrace the unknown and the unfamiliar, and pioneer the new.
This power allows us to feel fully alive and enjoy dancing with life.
We need this power to thrive as human beings, as women, and as leaders who are ushering in a new and healthier world order.
Developing this power and the ability to consistently come home to the present moment and find peace, love, and safety with ourselves is the most important work any of us will ever do.
The remarkable part is that once we start walking on this path, all the teachers, experiences, and resources to support us start to emerge as well. All we need to do is to stay open and curious and take it one moment at a time.
I know that if you have been reading and enjoying these letters that you are already well on your way home. I hope and pray that these letters find you when you need them and that they continue to nudge and guide you home.
For now, I’ll be taking my regular summer break to recharge and I look forward to being back with more updates and nourishing letters in September. I have no idea where I’ll be geographically by then, but I hope to continue being “home”.
May we all find our way home,
May we all remember to keep returning home,
And may we thrive!
With love and gratitude,
Maliheh
