Today’s Game Plan was my opportunity to talk about what makes a home, why I’m a happy renter and what it all means in the definition of the American dream. And I got a little help from some women who are more than at ease with the written word: Emily Dickinson, Maya Angelou and Elizabeth Gilbert.

I remember when a girlfriend of mine moved to Ireland for a change of scenery. When I asked her about this life change, how it felt to pick up and leave everything behind, she told me her favorite part was knowing that “everything I own fits into my suitcase”. This was a freeing feeling for her and a nice lesson for myself that laying down roots has more to do with engaging our surroundings than plopping down our possessions. Loved your column!
Thanks, Erin. What a great story.
