“Home is where your soul sings” says Dr T. “A lifestyle that makes you happy doesn’t just happen, it is a lifestyle that is designed”.
July brings an anniversary for The Burnout Queens, so this is our special anniversary edition of ‘Hello’…and be warned, it’s not the touristy thing you expect…it’s us up close, in person, and definitely quirky. July 3rd, 2009 (eight years ago) we were waiting for our flight to a new land and new adventures. To say we were bold (some said crazy) is an understatement! It was goodbye Canada and hello London.
Keeping in mind what Dr T said, we began to live our preliminary outline of what we wanted life to be in our new country. We had the basics, but then the lifestyle started to unfold as we lived it. Life now is about enjoying tea and cake, always tea darling…
And we couldn’t wait to see and learn more about art (we’re getting good at it now), explore gardens (can always use an extra pair of boots), and soak in the beauty that is London…
Newness means we celebrate differently, push ourselves to do things differently (like attend an upscale launch party way out of our comfort zone) and learn to enjoy the rewards of relaxing into an everyday rhythm and style that suits us.
We have met some lovely people, seen amazing architecture, and visited history in a way we never would have imagined possible. And the icing on the cake (with tea of course) has been the walks, snuggles, and fun with two little pups to round out the pack…
After eight years we know there will always be tea with everything we do ‘cause The Burnout Queens do nothing in life that doesn’t involve tea…and cake of course. Wonder what the next eight years will bring?!?
See you again in August. Remember…
Embrace Life!
