In 2020 I was in Bali for two months before heading to Australia where I had 4 months of home and petsits booked between two families that never happened due to the pandemic. Like most of us, hearts were heavy.

Three years later, I received a message.

One of those fabulous families invited me back for late 2023. Without going into personal details, they have had a very rough last couple of years and now had made the commitment to go on a pilgrimage in Spain for 9 weeks and they want ME.
In the past few years, we have had over 40 messages. Not a single video call and I am not sure if in our conversations what details we have shared nor had we ever even shared photos. Just genuine heartfelt chats to keep ourselves uplifted during life’s challenges.

What I do know is how I feel about these two people based on the quality of our discussions and our views, values about life because that I do remember chatting about. And that is why without knowing anything more, no final dates yet, no official listing yet either, No clue how I would make this happen but I knew that I would.
I said YES.
Sometimes your dreams are entangled with the dreams of someone else.
Dreams do come true and sometimes whilst creating yours you help someone create theirs.

And yeah 3 kitties in a cabin in the mountains outside of Sydney is just my idea of another slice of a happy life.

I’ll take it. Pass the tea please. Australia 🇦🇺 here I go.
