The home of our heart is a beautiful thing to recognize and value. None of us wants to be a perpetual exile. Wishing you both well in all your future homes.

Wow it's beautiful! Those skies are amazing.

I feel this way about NY, whenever I come back from visiting somewhere and I see the "I 💜 NY' sign, I always smile and say to myself, I do 💜 NY!

Karen, that video is life! As a military brat that spent over 8 years in the UK, I am loving these glimpses of some of my favorite remembered places. The beach in the UK is such a different vibe from Hawaii, Florida, the Southeastern US, and the Caribbean (my other 'beach homes') and this captures it perfectly.

When I think of Marcus — one of the most caring people I know — being cared for by proximity to home, I feel even happier for both of you.

Karen (& Marcus) thanks for sharing! I’ve had a few homes as well - Halifax, Nova Scotia - Trinidad 🇹🇹 as a child for 8 years, then back to Nova Scotia (Cape Breton then Halifax again)

Nova Scotia is very much a mix of Celtic - and Europe cultures if you’ve never been. Your video reminds me of our coastline too! I’m enjoying your posts about your time in your various homes! I am really looking forward to your new book. Oh and listened to you on Chip Connelly podcast “The Midlife Chrysalis”

I’ve just found it for preorder on Amazon UK. Usually I prefer to order through local shops, but I believe Amazon reviews help, too?
