Hey,

There’s something so special about the feeling of coming home. It’s not just the familiar walls or the cozy corners; it’s the memories, the laughter, and the people who fill that space with love. Home has always been about more than a place for me—it’s about connection.

Hearing you talk about your adventures this year, about the incredible people you’ve met and the memories you’ve made, reminded me how important it is to celebrate where we’ve been and where we belong. Whether it’s sharing stories over the dinner table, flipping through photo albums, or just sitting in the quiet comfort of being together, home is where we keep the threads of our journey.

I put together a playlist to capture that feeling of being home. These songs are all about family, love, and the warmth of belonging. Here are a few favorites:

• "We Are Family" by Sister Sledge – The ultimate anthem for celebrating those closest to us.
• "Count on Me" by Bruno Mars – A heartfelt reminder of the support and love we give and receive.
• "Butterfly Fly Away" by Miley Cyrus – A beautiful track about growth and the bonds that guide us.
• "Coming Home" by Skylar Grey – A powerful song about returning to where you’re meant to be.
• "Bubbly" by Colbie Caillat – Light, warm, and cozy—just like the feeling of home.

Each track is a little reminder of the love that surrounds us, even when we’re far from home. I hope these songs bring back memories of late-night laughs, cozy mornings, and all the little moments that make home so special.

With all my love,
