🏠"Home is the starting place of love, hope, and dreams" encapsulates the profound significance of a home beyond its physical structure. Here's an explanation of its meaning: ✅Love: A home nurtures familial bonds and relationships. It is a space where people find unconditional support, affection, and warmth. The love within a home creates a sense of belonging and security. ✅Hope: Home represents a foundation of hope for the future. It is a place where people envision their dreams, set goals, and find the encouragement to pursue them. The stability of a home allows individuals to plan and strive for a better tomorrow. ✅Dreams: A home is the cradle of dreams, where they are not only born but also nurtured. It's a haven where individuals can envision, aspire, and strive towards their ambitions. The environment of a home provides the comfort and motivation needed to dream big and make those dreams a reality. A home is not just a physical space but a cornerstone of emotional and psychological well-being. It is the starting point where love is shared, hope is cultivated, and dreams are inspired, shaping the lives of its inhabitants in meaningful and enduring ways. #CuyahogaCounty #SummitCounty #GeaugaCounty #LakeCounty #Cleveland #RealEstate t #ClevelandLiving #cleveland

𝐏𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐔𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐞, 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧.... There’s something magical about setting up a Christmas tree. The planning, the decorating, and the joy it brings. But let’s be honest: it’s not all tinsel and fairy lights. First, there’s the planning. Which tree to buy? Real or artificial? Then come the decorations. Do you stick to a theme or let chaos reign with sentimental baubles? And of course, the gifts—choosing, buying, wrapping, and placing them neatly under the tree. All of this while juggling the usual daily chaos. It’s funny how much this feels like moving to a new country. For students and migrants, the journey starts with endless planning. What documents do you need? What city will you call home? How do you even begin to set up your life from scratch? Then comes the decorating phase. Finding a place to live, furnishing it, and figuring out where you belong. It’s like adding your own ornaments to an unfamiliar tree, trying to make it feel like home. And the gifts? That’s the big stuff. The opportunities, the education, the career, the new relationships. They’re the rewards waiting to be unwrapped after all the effort. Now, imagine doing all of this while being a mother. Juggling work, setting up the tree (literally and figuratively), managing the endless to-do lists, and still finding time to create moments of joy. Because at the end of it all, it’s the smiles on everyone’s faces that make it worthwhile. So, to every student, migrant, and parent out there doing their best to bring joy to their own little corner of the world—you’re a star at the top of your tree. 🌟 With love, from a mother who’s been there, done that, and is still smiling.

We are waiting for daddy to help us put the star on top of the tree 😄 #Rilaunch #MigrantStories #ChristmasMagic

WHY CANT WE JUST GET ALONG IN PEACE ? ✅We actually have the capacity to get along with everyone. We need only look at nature, which provides us a beautiful example of civility between all species and a well-designed ecosystem much more complex than human interactions.🔶 Perhaps we believe that we possess a superior intellect. Are we?🔶 ✅Take a walk in nature and observe the most harmonious interplay of insects, flora, streams, clouds, wind, and all kinds of life. These interactions are not so difficult to understand when the earth, by far an elder to any human life, has evolved through witnessing destruction and adapting.🔶 ✅I hope this gives us pause when compared to the friction that exists in our world’s population.🔶 ✅Hopefully, you enjoy my posts and will follow me on LinkedIn.🔶 Richard DiPilla #lifelessons ✅Ligia Chacón Hernández Lisa Bloom Vitor Hugo Guerreiro Nazanin Bigdeli Kelly Mizell 🌟 Lyssa Rivera, LCSW, QS, Clergy (ORDM) Reena Strehle LinkedIn for Nonprofits.

#yourcoachjulieruppfelice For National Lighthouse Day: BE THE LIGHT HOUSE By Julie Rupp Felice “Be the lighthouse" is a powerful reminder to be a source of guidance, hope, and light in the lives of others. Just as a lighthouse shines its light to navigate ships through treacherous waters, we can be a beacon of support and inspiration for those around us. Here are some inspirations based on this idea: - "Shine your light to help others find their way." - "Be a source of hope in the darkness." - "Guide others with your wisdom and experience." - "Be a safe haven for those seeking refuge." - "Illuminate the path for others with your kindness and compassion." Remember, being a lighthouse is not about being a rescuer, but about being a steady presence that helps others navigate their own journeys.

Our first home here - Chesapeake Colony Estates 💚 Awesome neighbors! We still get invited, even if we don’t live there anymore. On this picture you can see part of the Colony Estates ladies 💃 In the US, the warmth of welcoming neighbors is often a cherished part of community life. From friendly greetings to offering help with a smile, it’s common for neighbors to introduce themselves or even bring a welcome gift when someone new moves in. This open hospitality creates a sense of belonging and connection. While Europe has its own charms, such overt friendliness isn’t always as common. In many European cultures, neighbors may be more reserved, valuing privacy and boundaries over spontaneous interaction. The welcoming spirit in the US fosters a sense of community that’s unique and heartwarming. #atlanticexpats #expatinusa #europeansintheusa #expatlife #natofamilies #expatlife #relocationspecialists #movewithease #movetochesapeake #movetovirginia #colonyestatesladies #welcomingneighbors

Embracing ourselves wholly allows us to authentically extend that love to others, fostering deeper, more meaningful connections. Remember, the journey of love always begins within. #SelfLoveJourney #LoveStartsWithSelf #WednesdayWisdom #MotivationForTheWeek #EmbraceYourself #SelfCareIsntSelfish #LoveYourselfFirst #InnerStrength #PositivityOverNegativity #MidweekMotivation #unimed

If your family is a real 'mixed bag' of characters, navigating holiday events can sometimes can be challenging, but there are ways to ensure a harmonious gathering for all involved: 💙 Approach conversations with an open mind and a willingness to listen to differing opinions. Respectful dialogue can lead to better understanding, even if you don't agree. 💙 Make the decision not to comment on what other family members are choosing to eat, or not eat, at the event. 💙 If tensions arise during family gatherings, don't be afraid to take a break or change the subject to diffuse the situation. 💙 Remember that it's okay to agree to disagree and that relationships with your family are more important than winning an argument. By approaching family holiday events with patience, empathy, and a willingness to compromise, you can strengthen your connections to the people in your life (or, at the very least, avoid conflict over a family meal!) . . . #CormackRecruitment #CormackRecruitmentAndHR #connection #familytime #familyevent #familydinner #conflictresolution #easter #easterweekend #springtime #mothersday #fathersday #family #dysfunctional #bonding #peace #yougotthis #compassion #inlaws #monsterinlaw #mixedbag #boundaries #communication #canada #canadian #victoria #delta #edmonton #winnipeg #hamilton

Today, we recognize both Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples' Day. It's a day to reflect on our shared history and the diverse cultures that shape our nation. While Columbus Day has long been part of American tradition, Indigenous Peoples' Day honors the rich heritage, resilience, and contributions of Native American communities. At Plus One Adoption, we celebrate the diversity of all families and believe in embracing every story with respect and understanding. Today, we acknowledge the importance of learning from the past to create a better future for everyone. How are you honoring this day?
