Loved it. I don't have any quite like that, though I have a distinct memory from when I was about 18 years old, hearing a teacher speaking about his travels through Europe. I dreamed of visiting Greece after hearing his stories and I remember sticking a picture of a greek island on my first vision board. I remembered both of those things as I was sitting on Paros island, sipping a cocktail (with a plastic monkey hanging from it) whilst watching the sun go down a few years ago. Magic. I also remember the look on the face of one of my ex-boyfriends as he described to me what it was like to see the Northern Lights. I don't remember what he said, but I remember that look. I think the word 'wonder' kinda describes it (though not very well). I haven't seen the Northern Lights yet, but I know that one day I'll see them for myself. Thanks for sharing such an momentous piece of your life story and for prompting me to remember parts of mine. Incredible story Christine. Loved it.
