What dreams am I wishing for? Well that is easy to answer! I wish to be the person I used to be, happily living on Vancouver Island, hiking in the woods every day communing with nature. I do not even recognize myself these days. This is who I recognize, me grinning and mischievous, knowing I scored the lottery, living a life I had always dreamed of.
I may live in Nova Scotia right now but I do not live near the ocean. I wish to go back to the island and have many beaches to go visit and commune with the gentle Pacific Ocean. Pick up giant clam shells and watch the herons go fishing. Listen to the mallards complain and the seagulls scream.
I spent as much time by the water as I could when I was out west and loved it. Here along her sparkling or spooky shores (depending on the weather) I am home. It is where I am meant to be. I wish to return to that gentle beautiful place where I was free and full of joy.
I wish to walk under the giant trees who were my friends. Who I miss with all my heart. I dream of going back home and feeling "right" again. Being happy with my husband again. I dream that his job makes that real as soon as possible.
I am hopeful that these dreams can become a reality. I used to not be able to look at my photos of the past. They were like a dagger in my heart that I had to remove and throw away. I can do it now. I am closer to my future now and am putting it out there that I want to return to the island wiser, stronger and grateful of what I had and what I will have. I will never take that life for granted ever again.
Blessed be!

Oh, to live by the sea. As Suzie wishes for herself, so I wish for her also.
Thanks for visiting my blog. I was touched to know that others are mourning their past lives and struggling to come around again to the way they were, their authentic selves? As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you too.
P.S. Love the oatmeal recipe on your other blog and LOVE Vancouver Island. What a dream place to live.
Beautiful images. I can relate to wishing to be the person you once were. May you take those feelings, and create a new future with the person you are becoming. Hold tight to those happy memories and make them part of your present life in a positive way.
As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you also.

I understand. I grew up in Calif and now live in Iowa. I miss the days on eh Beach, going there at night listening to the water and being able to think my life through. I miss that simple but crazy go go ness of it mixed together. I hear you Suzie, I hear you
I know it will become your reality. I KNOW it. And we will see each other from time to time, share an amazing meal, do some magic and have fun. Yes.

I'm thinking that looking at these pictures and FEELING that joy and wellbeing and "belongingness" is going to AMP UP the volume to your wish! Might want to get your ruby slippers ready ;-)

Your images are beautiful, and I'm so glad you shared them with us. As you wish for yourself, Suzie, so I wish for you as well. ♥
Loving where we live is so important, to feel like you belong to a place soothes our souls. And aaah the ocean, I feel your longing.
As you wish for yourself Suzie I am wishing for you too. May you be walking the beaches along the Pacific ocean soon. LOL
Beautiful photos, and those trees are wondrous. As yu wish for yourself, I wish for you as well.
I completely understand living in a place that doesn't nourish your soul. As Suzie wishes for herself, I wish for her also!
That dream of yours was mine ...
I recently ..got the job that allowed me to move back to the coast (my side of the Pacific Ocean) ...after almost 30 years away. Your dream will also materialise. Do not be afraid ...embrace those photos. Put them up everywhere ...
As you wish for yourself I so lovingly wish this for you also. xx
move to the ocean in nova scotia. we live 20 mins out of halifax and i walk along the beach every day. i don't let the rain and fog get to me...i love the rainy days almost as much as i love the sunny ones. the key is to "choose" to make your life/surroundings a positive thing and not wallow in the negative:)
I still see glimpses of past Suzie in the now Suzie. :)
As Suzie wishes for herself, so I wish for her also.
