Hello my fellow wishers and dreamers.
Today over at Jamie Ridler's Studio the wish prompt is: What do you wish for your space?

My wish today is going to be short and sweet, I wish for my space to reflect my heart and soul. I wish for it to be a place of comfort and security, I place to love and be loved, warm and welcoming.

Right now my space is filled with many areas of clutter and I have a sneaking suspicion that is reflecting my current mood, my mind/spirit is cluttered and I need to sort through the muck and get to the heart of things. Then my space can truly reflect the inner me.

Namaste friends and happy wishing.

Wishcast Wednesday: What do you wish to have?

Hi my fellow wishers and dreamers, it is that time again over at Jamie Ridler's Studio, a time of wishing and dreaming.
Today's prompt is "What do you wish to have?"

This is a powerful wish prompt simple, straight forward and cuts to the chase.

What do I wish to have........?

I wish to have a home within myself, a home I look forward to being in, a home I am proud of. This home being my physical body, my spirit and my mind. I wish this home to be harmonious and in sync with my purpose, to be filled with peace, love and laughter. I place I can feel safe and protected in.

This home within has not always been a safe place for me and I tend to spend alot of time in distracting myself instead of looking within.

I have been filling this mind/body/spirit home of mine with as much love and care as I can this last year and I think it is getting closer and closer to a home I can be proud of, a home filled with peace, love, compassion, forgiveness, laughter and most of all a home I yearn to come back to all the time.

You see if I can't feel at home in my own body how can I ever feel at home anywhere?

The dreamboard above is the one I did for the last Full Moon Dreamboard but I finished it too late and did not post it. Now seems like the perfect time since it ended up being about coming home to my body and myself and to loving it as it is and how it will be.

So my lovely wishers out there what do you wish to have this day?

Wishcast Wednesday: What do you wish to experience?

Hi my fellow wishers and dreamers, today over at Jamie Ridler's Studio the wish prompt is: "What do you wish to experience"

What I would love to experience is a day where I wake up without a negative thought in my mind and not an ache in my body (the 40's have been about adjusting)or to not get so down on myself when I do have the occasional ache or negative/critical thought, that only makes it worse.

I would love to experience the feeling of complete and utter joy at just being alive and breathing. Not too much to ask, right?

I fight the negativity/critic/anxiety so much at times that I get tired and just feel somewhat defeated but I am here and I am still wishing and dreaming and that says alot.

When I was a young girl I used to wish and dream and have such positive thoughts, but those in my live who loved me and were around me were very negative/anxious and depressed people and I struggle with the inheritance but it is in my power to say NO I don't want that, thank you anyway.

I wish to experience the life I was born to live, the life of a sensitive soul who isn't afraid to write poems and create all day if she wants. The girl who dances at the drop of a dime and sings out loud no matter if she is in key. A woman who loves and is in love with life and the people in it, who heals herself and reaches out to help others.

Well that came out fairly quickly and without much thought today, that life must be right there under the surface, I just have to dig a little!

So my fellow wishers what are you wishing to experience today?

Namaste,
Karen

WishCast Wed: What Rules Do You Wish to Make or Break?

Good Morning my fellow wishers and dreamers. Today is Wednesday and over at Jamie Ridler's Studio this is a day to wish and dream. The wish prompt today is : What Rules Do You Wish to Make or Break ?

This is hard because I am not a rule breaker, I had my rebellious stage in my late teens-early twenties, but before and after that I was always "the good girl".

So I say here and now that I wish to break that rule in my life, the rule of being the "good girl", the girl who is there for everyone even at the expense of self, the one who quietly sits by while everyone else says and gets what they want. Those days are over.

Truthfully this last year I have been slowly breaking this rule and it has been tough to break because not only does it effect me but the people in my life. When others are used to you being a certain way they have a hard time adjusting when you change. It has been eye opening in many ways to see who in my life is having the hardest time with this.

Besides the golden rules that we all live by I would like to add the following three:

Rule Number 1: Spend at least 1/2 hour in creative space a day, be it reading, writing, painting, collaging, cooking, drumming - anything that will flex the creative muscles on a daily basis. (see below pic this is my page in Carmen's Journal in my Art Saves Round Robin)

Rule Number 2: If upset about something: Check yourself before you wreck yourself. I am learning sometimes it is better not to say something, one of my friends says wait 24 hours and if you still feel the same then say something. I seem to be in a transitional stage lately and emotions are coming to the surface which are making me more sensitive than usual and that is saying something.

Rule Number 3: Health wise: Move your body in some way for 30 minutes a way, be it walking, dancing, jumping up and down just MOVE. Also health wise: If I don't recognize a food in the form it is in or it has more than 4 ingredients don't eat it, eat whole foods when possible.

Thanks for another wonderful wish prompt Jamie, they keep me thinking and blogging.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone's rules and whether they are making them or breaking them.

Namaste Friends,
Karen
