I was recently at home with my parents in Fossa for a visit and I left there feeling totally inspired! It was a combination of things that led me to feel this way. I decided to go for a stroll around the garden to see what my Dad had done with it as I hadn't taken the time to look around it in years. My father's garden is a work of art in itself. Not only did I enjoy the beautiful plants and flowers, I also felt so connected to my own roots. I can't describe how I felt but I didn’t feel like I was remembering what it was like to be a child, I actually felt like I was one again.
I thought my neighbour Christina would run up to me any minute and we would go climbing trees or we might continue upgrading my secret home that we had put together behind the shed! I also felt in my heart that sense of wonder and excitement for life. That feeling that the world was my oyster and all my dreams would come true.
We often associate dreaming with children but I think this is one of the biggest mistakes we can make as adults. Why should we stop believing in the magic of life just because we have more responsibilities now? Surely that is even more of a reason to dream and hope and plan for great things. My parents have always supported my dreams, even during the times when my hopes have been dashed. I firmly believe that I will always be a dreamer and I hope that one day my children will come home to a place where they can reconnect with their own dreams. Home is where the heart is and the heart is where your dreams live.
