For today’s Wishcasting Wednesday, Jamie asks us: What do you wish to say no to? Jamie has written about creating an Absolute No list and here are a few items I’m going to put in mine: No more joining online groups I have no time to participate in.

When I found this poetry challenge at Clover, Bee and Reverie: A Poetry Challenge, hosted by Lu of Regular Rumination, I immediately knew I’d join. While I do enjoy it, I believe I’d be more at ease with writing poetry if I read more of it. It will also be a treat just to study and enjoy the magic that is poetry. The purpose of this challenge...

I remember singing this song over and over again back in the ’80’s. Maybe you did, too. The other night, for no apparent reason, it popped into my brain and lickety-split…my son and I were hooked. Over and over we sang this silly song and watched its various videos. Now it’s your turn to get hooked. Have a happy day! If... Read→

As I reflect back on this last week, I cannot help but notice how my son’s confidence has grown leaps and bounds in seven short days. It’s interesting to me that he can be unsure of himself in so many areas but it in no way affects his pursuit of the fairer sex. Oh, he has the usual self doubts all teenagers do but it doesn’t impede... Read→

Our bright and sparkly Wishtress Jamie asks: How do you wish to shine? I’m just going to get right down to it. I want to become a more beautiful person. I want my intentions to be pure and honorable, not tarnished by greed or selfishness. I want to act upon my plans to help others, and not just plan the acts. I wish to recognize those moments...

I’ve missed participating in Wishcasting Wednesday the last few weeks. We all need to take time for ourselves to reflect, explore and dream, and support the wishes and dreams of others. Jamie’s question for us today is: What dream do you wish to explore? Over the past year, many of my Wednesday wishes have been about writing, drawing,... Read→

Jamie Ridler’s video of her year in photos, taken for Project 365 (2009), inspired me to participate in 2010’s photo project. What a lovely way to look back at your year and also develop photography skills and a fresh perspective on the world around you! I’ve joined the Project 365 Flickr group and you’ll see thumbnails of... Read→

Anxiety has been a constant companion my entire adult life; never more so than one evening, early in October, when I experienced my first full-blown panic attack. It was the closest I’ve been to dying. Well, I thought so anyway. On the bus, riding home from work and a day filled with financial worries, I started to feel not quite right. I soon... Read→

Jamie asks us today: What do you wish to dare? A girlfriend and I discovered an amazing line of jewelry in a gift shop during our annual spring flower shopping trip this year. I wish I could remember the name of the artist, but I’ll show you a (very poor quality) photo of the necklace I purchased from that collection: I loved the message “Make... Read→
