Our inspirational Wishcasting hostess Jamie Ridler asks the question:
What do you wish to learn?
This might be one of the easiest yet most difficult questions yet. I could easily say, “What don’t I wish to learn?” I wish to learn more about writing and crafting a great story. I wish to learn a million and one techniques for how to paint, create jewelry, be a better wife and mother, design advertisements and signs, create websites from scratch, make beautiful art dolls, sketch more quickly, whip up tasty meals, lose weight in a flash, take care of home repairs, knit a beautiful sweater, design my own clothing and win Project Runway… The list goes on and on and in no particular order.
If I could be granted at least three learning wishes, what would I choose? Thankfully, there is really no end to learning whether I wish it or not, so I can wish to my heart’s content. However, in the interest of time, and your patience, let’s stick with three wishes, shall we?
- I wish to learn better and quicker techniques and ideas for helping my son to become all that he can be.
- I wish to learn how to retrain myself into (a) better managing money, (b) taking back control from the procrastination monster, and (c) letting go of fear and living a confident life.
- I wish to soak up as much knowledge, in every subject, as I can and retain that knowledge for the rest of my days. I am truly interested in most everything and would love to be able to access any given file in the memory cabinets of my mind at a moment’s notice. Maybe one of those memory classes are in order.
I feel as if I’m forgetting something incredibly important, like learning to better love God, or how to feed millions. I obviously wish those things, but my list today will remain more selfish.
What do you wish to learn? To get some ideas from others, check out what other Wishcasting participants have to say.

I often feel the same way, what is it that I don’t wish to learn. I LOVE learning. Beautiful quote from Ghandi also.

Hey Pamela,
I share your wish to “soak up” everything! Curiosity is a marvelous gift too many people leave behind when they get “promoted” to adulthood. You are already a great writer using metaphors like “memory cabinets.” It’s evident in your posts. I wish for all these wishes to come true, but even more I wish for you to trust yourself, you are already great!
