Click on Pic for a larger view

Hi my fellow wishers and dreamers, I hope this day finds you well. Today over at Jamie Ridler's Studio the wish prompt is: "How do you wish to nourish yourself? This is the same list I had for the prompt "What do you wish to nourish" so I though it would apply here also. The picture above is a dream board I did which was all about coming home to my body, feeling safe there. In order to to that I think nourishing it more would be a good way to start

Here is a list of some ways I am committed to nourishing myself, mind, body and spirit. My well has almost run dry so I need to replenish so I can continue to nourish myself and others.
Ok here goes:

1. Spend more time outside in nature, when I do I always feel so much better.
2. Spend less time with distractions like mindlessly eating, surfing the TV and the Internet.
3. Spend some time planning for healthy eating so I have better choices available.
4. Move more, be it walking, dancing, jumping, skipping...move at least 20 min. a day.
5. Spend some time journalling each day even if it is 5 min.
6. Set up creative space so it is there waiting for me.
7. Spend time in creative/sacred space: Start small a few minutes a day until it becomes a habit. This can be art work, taking pictures, drumming, poetry, cooking, singing. Anything that gets the creative juices flowing. PLAYING.
8. Research ways I can get involved with community, so when I am ready I have a plan.
9. Spend less time in anxiety and fear, truly give living in the moment a chance.
10. To fully be there for my husband, friends and family in the best way I can without compromising self.

Most of all I want to nourish the belief in myself, my worthiness, my beauty, my gifts that only I have. To really listen for the right things for me to say YES to and being ok saying NO to the things that are no longer right for me.So my friends, what are you nourishing today?

Namaste,Karen

Wishcast Wed: What do you wish to envision?

Hello fellow wishers, today over at Jamie Ridler's Studio the wish prompt is: What do you wish to envision?

What I would like to envision for myself is a life that looks like this:

Wake up and feel refreshed and ready to start the day.

Finding work that makes me feel like I am not actually working.

Spending time in creative space daily, nurturing my creative side.

Really connecting with the people in my life.

Loving my spouse and myself without expectations.

Searching for, allowing and embracing joy in my life.

Being ok with what is and not rushing into the next thing, actually being in the now.

Finding like minded people to be in community with to give support and be supported.

Filling my mind/body/spirit with the things that will nourish them and getting rid of the junk, be it food, thoughts, actions.

Spending some time each day meditating, slowing down a bit.

Let go of the past, learn from it but then move forward.

Having faith and trust in where I am and where I am headed.

Now if I could only get out of my own way, maybe this list can become a reality! ;-)

So what are you envisioning for yourself today?

Namaste,

Karen

Wishcast Wednesday: What do you wish to focus on?

Hi All,

I am a day late to wishcasting this week..why you ask?... because I have lost my FOCUS. So it is no wonder that the wishprompt over at Jamie Ridler's Studio this week is: What do you wish to focus on?

Well It seems like I have lost my focus somewhere in the emotional whirlwind that has been my mind lately. I really have lost it and I am trying to find it again.

I guess I would like to focus on me and finding myself, she is somewhere within this mess. I have a habit of getting so lost in others and their needs that I truly don't know what the heck it is that I want anymore, where do they end and I begin.

So I guess this week I can only say that I am trying to focus on finding that line between myself and others and building some structure around those relationships so I don't lose myself again.

I wish all your wishes come true and although I have not been able to find the energy to post much I am always wishing along with you and for you.

Namaste friends,

Karen

Wednesday Wishcast: What do you wish for your relationships?

Shared joy is a double joy; shared sorrow is half a sorrow. ~Swedish Proverb

Hi My fellow wishers and dreamers. Today over at Jamie Ridler's Studio the wish prompt is:

"What do you wish for your relationships?"

As always Jamie seems to ask the the right question at just the right time.

I have been quite on the blogosphere and my e-courses lately due to some relationship issues my husband and I are working on. It really has taken much of my mental space lately and I have not had the energy for much else other than working and such, it has left me feeling a bit wrung out. I feel hopeful after my husband and I talked and I am hoping to get back into participating here more fully but please know that I have been reading your wishes and wishing for you.

I think what I learned most through this experience is that relationships need nuturing just like anything else and at times we have to tend to ourselves first and not get lost within the relationship. This way we keep our wells fill so we can than give to others.

As my husband and I have been talking about what we both would like from the relationship this particular question has been on my mind lately.
So... what I wish for my relationships are listed below. These are things that I think help nuture and grow relationships:


Love
Compassion
Forgiveness
Kindness
Trust
Laughter/joy/play
Respect
Understanding
Space to be yourself within the relationship
Acceptance
Patience
Sharing
Comfort
Partnership

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer we have been dealing with 100 degree temps these last couple of days and I feel like I am melting but happy to be present in each moment.

Namaste and keep dreaming,


Karen
