When Dr T and I first revisited London in 2006 we stood in this place and dreamt about living 'here'. Could we possibly make it happen? Were we brave enough? Did we have enough money to afford this area? All good questions, because this is Highgate Village in north London where celebrities, musicians (like Sting and George Michael to name a few) and TV personalities live. Some of the homes are 16th century, 'Samuel Coleridge lived here' homes. It is full of history, full of beauty and just has an air about it that overwhelmingly feels like Home to both of us.
When we returned to Canada, we set our goals, we worked our plans, but more than anything we held a vision of where we would end up. Our vision was us already living 'in the end result' of our dream...walking the village, walking to Kenwood for breakfast (which we've blogged about before), and just living and breathing our life in this beautiful place.
Sound corny? Perhaps to some. With any change, with any new big shift in life, Belief has to exist to get you through the difficulties and obstacles. However, as Dr. T said to me this evening, "when you have the belief and the vision, obstacles and barriers just become problems to be solved" It is that simple.
So, as proof in our steady belief in 'living from the end vision' I give you Dr. T (in the corner of this picture)as we walked this autumn day through the leaves of the huge old trees in Pond Square, Highgate Village , North London. Just as we believed we would, just as we envisioned it would be...except the experience is way better!
Cheers for now. Dr. B
