The events of last week make it crystal clear that part of what makes home
"home," is the feeling of safety and security we get when we step across the
threshold.
After all, our homes are our sanctuaries. It's the place we raise our
children, sink roots into the community, and live our lives.
Violent incidents on national or local levels can take away a little piece of that
security. And as a result, we feel vulnerable, and perhaps a little lost.
But we can't let anyone interfere with the way we live in our homes and our
community. The ability for so many people to own homes is unique to this
country. In most of the world, homeownership is limited to the elite and the
educated.
So homeownership is worth fighting for. It's your piece of your street, your
community, your city, state and country. Never let go. (And, always pay your
mortgage on time.)
