A Dream to Explore

On this first Wednesday Wishcasting of 2010, our fearless leader Jamie asks us...

What dream do you wish to explore?

I've mentioned recently on my blog that if things don't pick up for me financially, I'm going to have to suck it up and make a move to where the jobs are. That would likely be Toronto. Although the cost of living is much more expensive there, it's all relative. When I'm earning so little here and there are no jobs in this crashing economy, the $2.50 for the transit is expensive for me!

So the dream I wish to explore is this possible move to Toronto. It would result in better living conditions, and would also open up a world of opportunities for my growing hatchling.
I love Toronto. I feel alive when I'm there. I feel hopeful and enthusiastic and that life is great. Here, I feel old and worn down by being "stuck" in my circumstances.
Therefore, I think I'm going to make many day/weekend trips this winter to evaluate and decide if it would be a good move for us. We have some friends there, and of course my wonderful brother lives there too. I just have to make hatchling realize that it wouldn't be all shopping extravaganzas and eating in fancy restaurants all the time, as it is when we visit my brother. He's so generous and loving and supportive, but I won't move there unless I'm certain that I can make it on my own.
I think it's a great dream to explore.

Life is wonderful and exciting and stimulating for me in Toronto!

If there is anything that I can help you with here in Toronto please don't hesitate to ask. As a (financially strapped) single mom of a thirteen year old girl as well, I may be able to answer some questions that your brother or friends may not have the answer to. I know that my daughter would be more than happy to meet your daughter as well. It might be nice for your hatchling to know another girl her age in the city. Plus, my daughter's passions are drama, dance and singing, which I believe are right up your daughter's alley. If you like we can meet up for coffee the next time you come to Toronto. Let me know.

It just occurred to me that perhaps you could come into the city the next time that Jamie has her Full Moon Vision Board gathering? I've always wanted to meet Jamie too. c:

I hope that whatever comes to pass that it will help you become more financially stable. I live in the states about 40 miles outside of Phoenix on a horse property. While my daughter (5) and I are not too far from Phoenix, it isn't exactly booming at the moment. Your dream helping me stretch....nervously....that ok, so if things aren't working here, perhaps we can move someplace else. The door opened for a minute. Thank you.

As Boho wishes for herself, so I wish for her also! :)

I'm here too for you as well. If you need anything, do not hesitate to ask. Toss me a line before you come up next time and we can get together.

I've only been to T.Dot briefly.... but LOVED living in the big city of Montreal (too bad about the political french stuff, or we'd be living there right now).

big cities are so vibrant and alive- sending positive light for this part of your journey!

This would be a great move for you! I just know it. I wish it for you with all my heart.

BTW, the link on Jamie's site to your site does not seem to be working. :(

Dear Boho Mom,

Sounds like a vibrant move to somewhere new. Hope to visit Toronto this year myself. I wish for you to follow your dream to Toronto if that's where you are meant to be. Happy city exploring!

Sounds like you've already made this decision, it's all positives as you talk about the move.

Best of luck on doing the scouting & making this decision - just reading you talk about how you feel in Toronto makes me want to yell "GO FOR IT!!" . . .
The scouting & feeling things out is such a good idea - & be prepared to 'leap!' - it's (going to be) a Tiger year, after all!!
Hugs from Oregon

I wish you all the luck in the world with your new move - find a new home, new schools, new friends and all of those "new" things. May your soul find all of the room it needs to truly spread your wings and fly there. =)

As Boho wishes for herself, so I wish for her also.
