Catie - Home

New Orleans rings off the beautiful sound of home
home is being in a familiar, comfortable place, with the presence of peace
peace is being at rest in ones' heart
heart continues to allow one to put effort and "heart" forth in whatever they are doing or trying to achieve
achieve is when one has finally reached their set goal
goal is to become at peace with oneself at home
home is when one finds their way back to God
God is always with us, and New Orleans has the heart and soul to display this through its traditions, friendly community, and sense of togetherness
this is home
