Wishcasting Wednesday

Jamie ask What do you wish for the world ?

I wish healing for the world and to heal the world there are a whole host of wishes for things that i feel would help heal this world... these simple things are at top of my list..
Forgiveness,Fairness, Equity, Love and support, dialogue between nations,sharing of wealth,relief from poverty,kindness, time to listen,negotiate, work in partnership to find solutions,protection for the vulnerable,respecting of nature, improvements to the health and wellbeing of all kind....
I then feel as if i would like a list of things i'd like to see humankind doing less of ! but i am going to stay with the what i would like to see in the world and really put it out there as positive energy into the universe.....the world is beautiful and everything in it really matters! I wish to live my life embracing principles that might help heal this world.

'Be the change you want to see in the world'

Jamie Ridlers' Wishcasting Wednesday is such a part of my week and every Wednesday i love the thought provoking her prompts stimulate in me...thankyou Jamie

So what gifts do i wish to share...........................................................................
This is a difficult one for me right now i'm not sure how well i can express what my potential gifts are. My main personal attributes are those of a pretty sensitive soul...i hurt easily i also feel empathy with ease, tune into people's needs with ease and care very easily.However over the years working within the caring profession i have often felt quite depleted of energy because of sharing myself in these ways.I constantly work on having to adjust this level of sensitivity ... to try to set boundaries, to try to fit in with others who are not quite as sensitive and to be able to live my life without being too emotional...which in itself is quite a task as i sometimes do not adjust it correctly! I need lots of solitude, arting and i'm often preoccupied with fears of my getting it 'all wrong', and 'burning out' completely...

What i'd like to share is my gift of being able to accept the shortcomings of human kind.. this would include my own own shortcomings and imperfections of course ! and 'others shortcomings'... it is a gift of mine to be tolerant and forgive,I have hope in some of the most desperate of situations and try to always see/feel the positive in a situation.


"I have been wondering have these things i've seen ever been really happenning
What is 'reality' who's reality is worth more than anothers'
Where would human kind like to draw the line of 'black and white'
Why is it i see more 'grey'
Some opinions shape our future and are heard more than others
I like to quiten my mind and listen........and when i do
the one thing i do know is that 'love is the only thing that feels really real'

I wish to share this love and unconditional acceptance with you and the universe.

Wishcasting Wednesday...what do you wish to put limits on

http://jamieridlerstudios.ca/wishcasting-limits

Instantly i want to put limits on the internal dialogue I am having at the moment and my quest for self improvement...

I'm a little bit lost in myself at the moment....it's a funny place to be ..i decided to look in wards and try to self improve....analyse where i was at... devote less time to creating for others and more to listening to myself, expressing myself and arting for myself.... now i 'm worn out! ...........honestly worn out and to top it off i've had a nasty cold virus just a remind that sleeeeeeep is required if you are actually going to function and recover from an illness...you cannot survive on caffeine infused flu remedies for very long...or rather i cannot.I have reached my limit ....My 10 hour days at work and passion for evolving and my need to 'art' seems to be the 3 balls that are requiring too much energy to juggle ....so Jamies question provokes thought and i have to think about which one of these juggling balls i put down 'cos the others I got up there well they have to stay up in the air or life would grind to a standstill ! I CAN set limits on my working hours...i really must ! i am going to just accept it will not be the best job done..i'm going to have to start looking at where i can cut corners and continue to 'feed the monster' and go home on time...and morning pages ...they are not the be all and end all i am stil progressing becoming more creatively expressive of ME.....so if i miss them i miss them....that is where i will set my limits ....... am i living the life i want to live? maybe not but i do have a good life, i am blessed i sooo many ways, i work with a great team of folks...we laugh.. , my family are lovely...we love each other, and I am a 'wee gal that loves to art' ...hey nobody said i have to do all this frantic juggling and stressing so time to rethink...

What do you wish to renew.........

http://jamieridlerstudios.ca/wishcasting-renew

OOH i do so love Jamie's thought provoking prompts....i have had a little scoot around for inspiration from you beloved wishcasters as phewww another long work filled day leaves me feeling a little flat on the inspiration side. Anyway wishcasters i'm soooo grateful to you all as i always feel a little 'renewed' after reading your posts, it is at times like this that i find such comfort and joy in connecting with your wishes before i start to think about what this prompt means to me.... i need to thank you for this as you are a community of people i've never met face to face but you mean such a lot to me!

Renewal mmmmmm I love the idea of being able to renew particular aspects of my life regularly.I have just got back from a brisk walk and i'm renewing my comittment to my evening yoga ..the energy is moving but sooooo slowly.

I wish to renew my committment to my goals for this new year... I'd like to 'renew' this whenever i loose focus ...'re snare' the energy and 're harness' the enthusiasm i had for the goals when i made them...revisit them and look again and feel positive about slow progress.What a fantastic prospect of being able to renew my comittment to making them work rather than feeling i'm loosing them.....I'm watching the moon and thinking about how my energy might flow with the moons phases .........i'll move toward them .... renewal seems so necessary not just yearly but at such regular intervals so as to be able to hold sight of those dreams.

Dreams ...time....focus.....love......renewed with wishes.....'i am committed' thankyouuuuu

More than wishes renewal actions..........

• staying creative every day no matter how small sometimes simply looking at what i've physically created and reflecting on it's design.
• keeping moving everyday walking, standing outside taking a breath of fresh air feeling alive.
• waking up! yes the goal is to get up early i'm having to set my alarm and practice getting up as soon as there is that shift in light outside...it is only just a succinct shift and 7.00 a.m is all i am managing at the moment i'll get there...
• evening yoga even just a little before i step into bed...it's great just have to have increased awareness of the benefits and it will be part of my routine.
• weekend morning yoga ....it's great and makes such a difference.
• my plan is still there for my keepsaking workshops and i am progressing slowly with it-resources have arrived and i've mapped out a taster session and i'm sharing my ideas with friends.
• february invites for a crafty openday session have gone out to my luvly crafting buddies who joined in the fun last time.

Moon phases - waxing phase at the moment keep the planning going

The Four Phases of the Moon waxing, full, waning, and new –

The first phase: waxing moon: beginning of a new cycle; development and growth; new opportunities.

Lesson: to invoke – knowing.

wishes around health and personal issues; put plans into action for the month ahead.

The second phase: full moon: the moon is full and ripe; a very fertile time, but care is needed as the energies are very powerful.

Lesson: to expand – manifesting.

wishes around: incense and expansion in your day-to-day affairs; a good time for personal power and magnetism.

The third phase: waning moon: the moon’s power is decreasing; release and letting go.

Lesson: to let go – courage.

wishing around letting go of the past; a powerful healing time. It is also time for insights and increasing psychic power.

The fourth phase: new moonWind: the moon disappears; time for retreat and withdrawal; recharging energies before the new cycle begins.

Lesson: to learn – to keep silence.

Wishing around: gaining wisdom, understanding and insight. This time is best spent in contemplation, meditation and preparation, or seeking guidance.

What do you wish for in the New Year ...2011.................

http://jamieridlerstudios.ca/wishcasting-wednesday-what-do-you-wish-for-the-new-year

A different sort of wish for me...i'm feeling enthused as I incubate a new project..
I am in the process of planning to conduct some 'lifestory scrapbooking' and 'memory box creating' for others.I would like to do this as not only a hobby but as a regular activity and I have a plan to mail out some letters inviting this to happen in Spring of 2011.....it is a dream and passion of mine that lifestory work can be shared in a therapeutic way and i soooo want to facilitate this.I have done a lot of reflecting and exploring and i have a list of 'i can's' and practicalities to my wish.......

I can create a vision board... to embody this more
I can create some nice stationary to invite care homes and hospices to participate.
I can devote some time to this from February of this year as my working hours reduce.
I can work less in my everyday job and focus more on this dream.
I can draw confidence from my exeriences of groupwork and everyday care work.
I can gain support from my friends through sharing my ideas with them.
I can prepare by looking into what has worked in the past with the use of lifestory work especially with the elderly.
I can create a program i can deliver and personalize with some of the individuals willing to participate in this project.
I can breathe.........
I can 'positively' evaluate even the smallest step toward this goal
I can enjoy sharing in someone's 'life story'
I can enable others to feel affirmed and valued by helping them to share there lifestories and express thoughts/feelings.

I can doooo this ... so as i say goodbye to the old year of 2010 ( which has been a lovely year) i start the New Year with enthusiasm and some life experience in addressing this project with balance. Sending my wish out there into the world of wishcasting Wednesday seems to 'bless' it.............Thankyou..
