Fellow dreamers and wishcasters:

Dec 3rd, 09 / 1 Comment

Thank you all for the lovely wishes yesterday and for sharing what brings you joy.  I know it soothed and encouraged me as I hope it did for you.

Work is a bear right now and I haven’t had time to sit down and enjoy your dreamboards and reading your wishes.  If I’m not able to do it before the weekend, I will be sitting down and visiting each of you with coffee in hand, and a warm and open heart.  I look forward to our visit!  :)

Full Cold Moon & Wishcasting

Dec 1st, 09 / 25 Comments

Also known as: Wolf Moon, Chaste Moon

Our lovely leader, Jamie Ridler (who we lift up and hold dear in our hearts, especially at this time), instructs us to think about our heart’s desires while creating our full moon dreamboards. What do we long for and for what do we dare to dream? Jamie’s Wednesday Wishcasting question is “What is your winter wish?” Here is mine:

1. Protection, a sculpture, 2. minestrone soup for the soul, 3. Dreamcatcher 2, 4. Day 59/365: Here comes the sun, 5. I see stars, 6. Autumn Rest, 7. Some times the story changes without us turning the page, 8. A little goes a long way, 9. Atmosphere*

Over the past few weeks, I’ve found myself having the expected thoughts that come around this time every year; thoughts of hibernation, warmth, comfort, and family. I dream about weekends spent playing games and watching movies with my family, baking and making homemade soup, wrapping myself in comfy, warm sweaters and indulging in my latest hobby, knitting.

Since battling a particularly vicious streak of anxiety the past few months, I’m also seeking the way to peace. As a dreamcatcher is supposed to protect us from nightmares, I need a filter to protect me from self-induced worry and negative self-talk. Rest, movement and doing those things that bring joy are certainly required, but what exactly brings me, you, joy?

You’ll find a few of my joy-inducing choices in my dreamboard, but I’m curious to know what brings you joy. Will you share a few of your choices with me and others reading this blog? Maybe we’ll discover something new together!

More dreamboards.

More wishes.
