I love that your blog has a thematic focus of PLACE. For me, place is something I have created within myself, so that I may exist in any externality without feeling the emptiness that you refer to.

I think it's the ultimate dream about Place Sherrie. I have no doubt you'll make it happen someday.

For years I've dreamed of living downtown, of buying one of those narrow little properties with a shop of some sort on the first floor, which I'd continue to lease to the retailer, and space on the second floor that I could transform into a home with good bones, character, and tall windows that would let in lots of light. I would love the daytime activity, the shoppers and people busy going somewhere. At night, it would be a place of quiet and pretty lights.

What that has to do with "place" is the ages of the buildings; there's history there, architecture, and texture. I would find great satisfaction in doing what I could to preserve one of those fine old buildings, of making sure it had purpose and a future.

(sigh) Maybe I'll actually pull it off someday.

Thanks for a great blog, Marilyn. I love your heart.

Interesting way to find me:-). Like you, I think I carry ancestral memories in my genes and blood. I've been doing my family genealogy (since I'm writing a book for my family for Christmas) and have discovered amazing things, and so many reasons why I love what I love, believe what I believe, and am who I am.

Thanks for your blog. For the last few months thoughts of the place my ancestors migrated to keep popping into my brain. The music, the landscape and the people keep calling me. So I googled "importance of place" and found you.
