this morning

god morgen I took this photo in Copenhagen and I can't stop thinking about the detail in that window and the columns. Sketching in the AM is the best, especially when it's still dark outside. This is what I did instead of go on a run...

How do you define home?

Home is where I want to be after a long drive.

Home is a place where I can hang up my coat, and leave it there for days.

What in your closet makes you feel most at home?

My plastic box that contains handwritten letters and holiday cards from friends and family throughout the years

What is your favorite memory of home?

Laying on the hardwood floor on a summer afternoon with Skills (my dog) as we enjoy the warmth of the sun. Mom is preparing dumplings. Dad is reading a newspaper and eating fruit. We all chat about Angel (my sister) and hope she is doing well. This memory is a recurring scenario in my home -- enjoying each other's company regardless of what we're doing.

What’s something you always take with you when traveling to remind you of home?

Nothing tangible -- just memories of home when I'm in unfamiliar places for long periods of time.

Etxe : Home with Leana

Each Tuesday we'll be posting a new perspective on ETXE : HOME. This piece is by Leana Sanchez, a friend from college.

How do you define home?

Home is where your family is, wherever they may be. Locally, home is where our dog is. We built a safe, loving, and inclusive environment that nurtures our dog, even when we cannot be home with him.

What in your closet makes you feel most at home?

Ironically, it’s my luggage! My family lives across the states, and pulling out my luggage means another reunion. Even if there are no plans for travel, my luggage reminds me that my family is just a plane ride away.

What is your favorite memory of home?

My favorite memory of home is when my parents built our swing set. I couldn’t wait to share it with my family and friends. We imagined many battle scenes, princess rescues, and our version of hot lava!

What’s something you always take with you when traveling to remind you of home?

I can’t leave home without my diamond earrings. They weren’t always mine. They were a token of affection from my father to my mother, and I inherited them when I turned 15. I look forward to continuing the tradition.
