"I know a little girl named Vashti." My second-grade teacher told her sister on a phone call in 1972. My brother, sister and I had been put on a "prayer chain" after our kidnapping from our non-custodial mother and her convicted felon husband. The unusual nature of my name and a second-grade teacher paying attention in a small classroom in a remote part of Hawaii led to our return.

Two things have been constants in my life for the whole time: the complication of my name and my desire for a home.

For many of us, home is evasive. Even after my chaotic childhood and my emergence into adulthood, I continued to feel misplaced, unsettled, lost, and lonely. That didn't change after I got married or even after the birth of my four children. My feelings of hopelessness and defeat actually increased. Normal life circumstances hit hard when you don't have the skills to process, face, and work through them. Which I didn't.

As the kids got older, my interactions with others increased. I continued my career as a treatment provider within the criminal justice system. I realized that many people are just like me. In fact, most people I interacted with daily also struggled with the same obstacles I faced. External obstacles formed from a broken home, emotionally immature parents, as well as internal barriers due to significant developmental delays from childhood trauma and chronic stress made it hard to move forward.

Everything changed when I got the revelation that "home" wasn't an

an external place I created but the living space inside of me.

When I made a home inside myself, I could take it wherever I went,

and it could never be taken from me.
