It would seem that I have Northern Minnesota completely on my mind. Perhaps it's the sound of the wind through pine trees behind our trailer or the fresh clean snow, but I can't stop dreaming of it. There's something that pulls your spirit up there. When we were up there last, Ross was taking a yurt building class. That gave me time to toot around, go for hikes, read and then look at properties for sale! It always comes down to that:)
There are no mountains or ocean, but there's Lake Superior with her vast allure, hundreds of trails that allow for unabashed dreaming and thinking and deeply clean lakes to dive into. It feels as though all the people I met living up there had the same passion for the outdoors and community. So as Ross took his class, I quickly met the locals and by the end had emails and guidelines to buying land in the North. I don't know the reality of actually living up there, mostly because it's far from family and friends. But damn, I can't stop dreaming about it!
I wonder if everyone has a "place" they dream of living. I don't know if this is actually that place for me, but it's one of them. And perhaps that's all it will be...a dream. Maybe the dream of it will keep pushing me in my life here in Southern Minnesota. Pushing me to fulfill the goals I have, pushing us to find the home down here we also dream of, pushing me to take the plunge on business ideas. Who knows? But I do know that it doesn't hurt to dream. In fact, it feels good to let an idea wander around the corners of my brain picking up colors, shapes and sounds until it's a fully fledged world. So I'll keep doing that today, next week, next month and perhaps someday one of those ideas will suddenly be my reality.
