RTVM - 3.6.11

Right this very minute I'm completely in love with Aspen.  Sure, there is the beautiful mountains, the bluest sky I've ever seen, and an unimaginable amount of sunshine... but none of that really matters.  I'm in love with Aspen because of so much more.

There is the family I have there...

There is the Best Friends A Girl Could Ask For I have there...

There is my first home and the kids who brought me to Colorado there...

There is some DAMN good music there...

And there is the streets I've made memories on there...

This is why RTVM Aspen holds a piece of my heart!  I wonder, does everyone have a place that they would consider home, a place where they feel completely comfortable, completely loved, completely able to express themselves, completely welcome?  

I think part of becoming a grown up is creating such a place.  Maybe it's where we grew up, or where our family of origin is, or where we spent our summers as children, but maybe it's something more than that.  Maybe it's a place we discover, a place we just happen upon one day and then, years later, we realize that this place is home, that these are our people.  It doesn't have to take away from all the other places in our lives, but it most definitely holds its own special place.  

And Aspen?  It's streets are my home.  It's people are my tribe.  And it's seasons are my heartbeat.
