Wishcasting Wednesday...."What Do You Wish To Say No To?"

Jamie over at Jamie Ridler studios asks us this week "What do you wish to say no to?"

Did anyone else automatically have a list start to form in your mind's eye? I was actually surprised because I am a pretty agreeable person most of the time. BUT lately I have found myself growing ......um....a little more impatient? I just feel so often I am wasting my time on so many things...and I am tired of that. I won't go into details but I want to say NO to spinning my wheels and wasting time.

I also have been working on transforming myself and my body for what seems now like forever. I am so done with that. I want to say NO to the excess food I continue to put into my mouth! I want to say NO to my lack of energy and dumpy mood. I want to say NO to the sofa calling my name every time I turn around to take a nap. I want to come alive and say NO to feeling like a walking zombie.

I want to say NO to being treated less worthy than I am...and for allowing myself to be treated as such.

I want to say NO to people not willing to give back to me at least the same energy and input I am willing to give to them. What a crock that is! Especially if they love you...they should be willing to give back at least what you give to them.

I want to say NO to not taking care of myself and loving myself as much as I should!

And really I guess this all boils down to saying NO to NO! I want to start saying YES to myself. I want to take better care of myself and my life and my house and my world so I will have the energy to say yes more often. I want to live now and not wait around for anything anymore. I am so done with the waiting game. WHAT a total waste of time and life.

Wishcasting Wednesdays.......WHAT DOOR DO YOU WISH TO OPEN?

Jamie over at JAMIE RIDLER STUDIOS asks another good question of us this week for Wishcasting Wednesday. (check my sidebar for the links)

My wish might sound a little complicated.

I wish to open the door to my future hopes and dreams so they can become my present - -my reality.

AND I wish to keep that door open! I am tired of having the door closed out of fear of it opening. I am tired of peeking through the door but not having enough faith to open it wide. I am tired of waiting and wish to move FORWARD in all aspects of my life. We only get one shot at this.....I wish to avoid wasting time!

My mantra for myself and others is "JUST DO IT!" (although there are times I also add ALREADY to the end...JUST DO IT ALREADY! haha)

Wishcasting Wednesday and Full Moon Dreamboard.....

CLICK TO SEE ENLARGED VERSION

This week Jamie over at JAMIE RIDLER STUDIOS prompted us on our Wishcasting Wednesday "WHAT DO YOU WISH TO MAKE ROOM FOR?" For our Full Sturgeon Moon dreamboard this month she provided more food for thought, "It’s a time to savour our blessings and welcome in the abundance that is all around us. With the Moon being in Aquarius it is also a great time to get innovative when it comes to our dreams. As you focus on your dreamboard this month, spend some time brainstorming how you might actively welcome in what you desire."

This got me to thinking. I realized I wanted to make room for BELIEF. AND I realized that in order for me to actively WELCOME in whatever I desire I truly had to believe! Especially in myself...which I think I do pretty well...but apparently if things are not always happening the way I want in my life.....perhaps I still lack in that area a bit. Doubts still creep in which ultimately always mess with my motivation, determination, success.

Since this was the STURGEON moon this month I included a stamp of a STARRY sturgeon....and found an incredible sea face moon......and realized after finding photos from magazines or online....all of them connected to water or fish....the sea.....especially the colors. This all started when I happened to pick up my Victorian Trading Co, new catalog and the woman with the boat and oar standing gazing up at the moon was on the cover. HOW appropriate for the full sturgeon moon! It gradually grew from there.

SO....for me....my wish this week is to BELIEVE! No matter what.....believe in all possibilities.

And with my dreamboard I will welcome in all the possibilities..with belief.

WiSHCASTING WEDNESDAY!! Full Buck Moon July 7, 2009! AWESOME raspberry colored moon!

as the moon came up last night it was raspberry in color....did you all manage to see it? WOW...it was incredible. Here is a glimpse:



It was awesome! SO LARGE and SO RASPBERRY in color!! A few Indian tribes have also called the Full Buck Moon "Full Blood Moon" or "Raspberry Moon" or even "Red Berries Moon" because when it rises it appears reddish in color. I could not believe I had the chance to see this moon exactly like that as it first rose last night!

The Full Buck Moon is known as such because it is the time when buck deer sprout velvety new antlers. It can also be known as the "Full Thunder Moon" because thunderstorms are more frequent during this month. It symbolizes a time of harvesting and enjoyment of crops of the season. To some this is the "Blessing Moon". Energy moves into creation. Opportunities for self-reliance and confidence, unity and balance abound. It can also be known as the "Hay Moon" or "Meadow Moon" because the meadows are at their greatest point of growth in this month and it is a time for hay cutting. Some have even called it "Ripe Corn Moon," "Herb Moon," "Grass Cutter Moon, and "Hungry Ghost Moon."

Today on Wishcasting Wednesday, I would like to make a special wish for Jamie Ridler and her new website for her studio....you can find it here JAMIE RIDLER STUDIOS

Go check it out for wonderful creative inspiration and guidance to open the door to your own creativity and growth!

With the wonderful Full Buck Moon backing you this week Jamie I wish you success and a smooth transition to your new creative home!

Wishcasting Wednesday......What Do You Wish To Nurture?

I have three of wishes.....

1. I wish to nurture my heart. I have realized over the past week I do not demand proper care of it from others or myself. This is unacceptable and has to change. So I wish to learn to nurture it as the fragile living, feeling, organ it is...and learn to command the same treatment from others who reportedly love me.

2. I wish to nurture my financial situation. I need to get out of credit card debt. As a single mom of an autistic son, I was only able to work part-time when I originally moved back here to my home state 3 years ago to be closer to my family because of divorce. I quickly depleted my savings and had to charge many things for a few years to basically make up the difference in the other half of income I was not making during that time. I work from home and also home-school my son....and I make a lot less now than I did before...though I have finally started to work full-time again from home. BUT the credit card debt is just suffocating me...us. I want and need to get out from under it as the remaining money I make would be MORE than sufficient to have a good life and actually even save money. Blah, blah, blah...I am sure many are in similar situations now even due to the economy. Without going into all sorts of details and/or feeling sorry for me crap......I just need to improve my INcome situation to make enough extra to continue to pay off my credit card debt easily so we can survive on our own with the remaining money each month. It is touch and go again this month....

3. I wish to nurture truth. I am all about truth. I always have been. It bothers me to see others who do not hold this value as highly as I do. It is very disturbing to find people online who in the end are not who they try to appear to be. I am pretty much what you see is what you get and upfront and straightforward about who I am. I don't wish to play head games with myself or others. I wish to be surrounded by truth and truth-loving people.

Wishcasting Wednesday....."What Do I Wish For My Body?"

I wish for my body release of any excess fat...so I can embrace the lean, muscular, strong true me waiting to be seen and recognized underneath. I wish for myself to realize that I can be safe and even stronger and more powerful as a lean, trim person who no longer requires carrying the excess around as a blanket of protection or as a shield of armor. I wish to love myself and treat my body as a temple and realize I am worth it. I wish to remember to take care of myself...to actually put myself on the list every day. I wish for more discipline...to be a parent to myself. I wish for myself to be all I can be and ready to receive.

So I wish for my body to realize I can let the excess pounds of fat go and melt away for good as they are no longer required.
