My Heart's Content

When I first began creating my pages, I couldn't decide what to name my site. Should it be something catchy, elegant or mystical, something bizarre or humorous ? It should speak for itself. It has to be perfect. I knew it would come to me eventually, so it became Vicki's Home by default.

Now my pages have come together and the site is beginning to develop and take on a life of it's own. I like sharing fond memories and experiences, causes and concerns, my family, friendships and fascinations.

In looking over my finished work and ideas for future pages, I found that the common thread throughout is, and will continue to be, that everything I create and share with you comes directly from my heart.

I thought a lot about the word "home" and what that means to me. For a time I thought I would never truly feel "at home" again. Everything I believed in as home was gone. The warmth, the laughter, the unconditional love and support. Suddenly it was all gone as if it never existed. My heart was broken, my soul empty, my spirit crushed, my future............... had no purpose. I was alone for the first time and nothing would ever be the same again. The world around me which used to seem so safe, forgiving, colorful and inspiring now felt cold, unfair and infinitely gray.

Some wonderful people helped me through that stage of my life even when I seemed determined to push them away.

And then I met an amazing person who made me start feeling those comforts of home again. He made me realize that I had to stop dwelling on what I had lost and focus on what remained with me, like the memories, wisdom and knowledge because of the experiences I had been through. He helped me to recognize the amount of self-confidence and inner strength I now possessed. Because of his love, I have emerged from that shell of my former self into the woman I was destined to become. I can never thank John enough for believing in me and for reminding me who I am. I have peace of mind again and I am home.

I understand that everything happens for a reason. I believe in the power of love, from the past and present, and I can honestly say........... my heart’s content.

Welcome Home and enjoy your visit.

* Update 6/2003
   I started this website almost three years ago as a way to keep in touch with my niece, Alyssa.

   Since then I have met so many nice people through my guestbook, webrings and graphic sites. I have enjoyed creating pages for my family and friends. It has been a very enriching experience and I didn't realize I had so much to say, share and convey. I have been holding a lot in for a long time and I am glad I am finally able to express things through photos, words and graphics.

   Thank you all for your support and interest and for the special things you send me to add to my pages to share with others. I hope that I have touched your lives for the better, the way you have touched mine.
