Make a wish

"Make a wish and I will make it happen" said the good fairy to Lea, just as she was ready to enter her serious thinking mode..

"My little one, you think with your mind and miracles only happen when your heart sings and your now-short hair is blown by the magic wind of the stars"

Lea was alone in her flat, which was not going to be hers anymore. Some little devil was going to invade her magic space and make it a party pad. But that was OK. It was about time Lea took responsibility for her life (or at least her living space). Her new place was going to be one of love and laughter, of creative greens and crazy pinks. Lea liked her pinks...But we kind of knew that already;-)

So, where is it going to be? If only she knew. But she didn't want to know right now. She only hoped that it would all come to its right place by the end of September, when she had to leave. She made plenty of plans for packing, but she had no idea where she would spend the winter.

And that's where the wishing part begins.

Winter in wonderland. Winter in a city full of people, in a cosy attic room (ot at least a very cosy flat). Sofia? Not necessarily. Anywhere. Where she would feel loved. She missed the party flat in London and in a way, could imagine herself walking down Camden again, going to the organic shops and being a true yoga fairy. She could live that life. As long as she didn't have to work full-time and had friends to share her winter with. But even more so, why not make this happen in Bulgaria?

Lea needed something new. A fresh start. Why not be in Turnovo, or Plovdiv or Burgas..Well, being realistic, this was going to be a little harder than moving back to the so-well-known old London. But not impossible. Definitely not impossible;-) Could she rent a flat in Turnovo for all the 200leva it would take to be someone's housemate in Sofia? Lea kind of liked Sofia in the winter. The little cafes, SunMoon, InkeTinke, the organic bread and shops, the parties, Christmas...It was her city and she got used to it. So maybe this was the answer. Stay put in a cheap place, save money and buy this magical house next year. Or whenever. She just dreamed she could find her buddies to buy the land with.

It was so obvious to Lea that wherever she went, the most important thing was to feel alive and happy, to feel the harmony and love. And this only happened with people around. Can this really happen in a village? Yes, Lea liked living in Sofia, and liked her single life. She could not really imagine herself saying it, but it was so true!

Walking around, with the crazy silly smile, but not the smile that meant "I am in love" but the one saying "I love my life" ..And it made hell of a difference!

So, Sofia it is. Who knows. Let August bring the answer. Let is bring lots of smiles and unforgettable moments - around the lakes, the mountains and the beautiful seaside. Let it be love!!!
