Last week we spent 7 days in London, Jimmy doing business while I explored my new most favorite city ever. I brought along my laptop with the intention of getting lost in my writing and work while sipping tea at a nearby British cafe. I had lofty dreams…fortunately reality didn’t cooperate.
Once we got there I realized my laptop charger didn’t fit the adaptor we had brought, and not a single Boots Drugstore I searched carried one that would work either. And so, as it would happen, not one time since arriving in London, did I ever open my laptop. Not for work. Not for writing. Not even for YouTube.
It was almost as though God was nudging me to simply stop for a minute and be present in my surroundings. Maybe it was God, maybe it was circumstances, but either way it only took a day for me to adjust to life without my “right arm” and quite quickly I became consumed with a tourists life rather than an online one.
I loved London. Loved with a capital L. Being blessed with blue skies and sunshine definitely made it easier, but the rich history and lovely british accents certainly didn’t hurt either. I did my best to vlog & take as many pictures as I could to share in the experience (check over on Instagram!), so over this next week I’ll be sharing bits & pieces here as well as on my YouTube Channel.
And now that I’m back to the humming sound of my overworked laptop running, I confess that I’m finding it a bit difficult to gain the speed at which I was attempting before I left. I find myself, once again, needing to collect my thoughts, regroup and remind myself of what I’m doing and why, then work to get my focus back.
In the meantime….I hope you enjoy the London I saw and loved….
So amazing! I really hope I can make it to Europe someday. Thanks for the added inspiration!
