What do you wish to dare?

Today is Wishcasting Wednesday and Jamie Riddler asks us, "What do you wish to dare?".

Wow...once again, perfect timing Jamie! For my first Wishcasting Wednesday I had discussed us wanting to move to Oregon. Well, it seems as though the opportunity has arisen!

We are renters here in our house. We moved to this much bigger house, while I was still pregnant with my little guy. We thought now that we were starting our family out, it would only make sense to get a bigger place. It also made sense at the time, NOT to move out of state due to the fact that he has job stability AND insurance. We finally made our way to Norther Oregon for vacation a few years ago and absolutely fell in love with the town we had wanted to move to. It was a sort of preview vacation-lol!

Since then we've also added Zoe to the family. So here we are...3 years after first moving in and what do you know? Yesterday we were served papers that this house we are renting is going into foreclosure! We are on a lease, so they can't just give us the boot, but it is the sign we've been waiting for. I figure, if we're going to move, then we should just move...why not? We do not have family in the area, nor do we have jobs there...yet. As of yet, we don't even know how much longer we have here? But they do have to give us a 90 day notice. It's scary and so I wish to dare to take this leap of faith, to move to the place that we have been wanting to move to, for a number of years now. I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. Though it was sudden and yes, I felt like I had the wind knocked out of me when I found out yesterday...I really feel that this is the time for us to make that leap and to dare to know that all will be well :D

Wishcasting Wednesday!

Today Jamie asks us "What do you wish to experience"? This question is the question that has actually been going through my head this past week. It to often seems that I am beginning a project, doing 50 million other things, then getting burnt out before I can complete my main project! This really leaves me with a feeling of chaos. Not having a visual completion of what I've been working on, really throws me off. Mainly, reorganizing our home and decluttering.

The other thing is that of not being where I want to be as far as time management and being able to take the time to do what's important to me. For example, taking more tea times throughout the day with Tyler, which we both really enjoy. Getting back into what rhythm we were creating. Today was our first baking day in well over a month! This is something that he always looks forward to...Wednesday- Baking Day. So I guess what I really want to experience is the comfort of order and balance.

Completing Projects

I had taken some time off of blogging since we had been so busy with life. Over the past 2 weeks, once again, I am purging our home - major decluttering. This time, with even more of a critical eye to what I want our home to not only look like, but what I want it to feel like. It's so good to be back blogging again and it's especially great to be back here on Wednesday's Wishcasting with Jamie Ridler. So today she asks us..."What do you wish to complete?". That's simple. For me...I wish to complete the projects that I am currently working on. I wish that this overhaul will also be completely satisfying to what I hope to achieve in our home. It's always the beginning that is easiest for me. Then when it comes to all the little things and finishing...well...that's when I start feeling weighed down. So I hope to complete this project with great ease and to achieve the look and feel that I'm hoping for :D

Blessed be my friends!!

What door do you wish to open?

Today Jamie Ridler asks, "What door do you wish to open?". As soon as I read it, I knew exactly which door-the door of opportunity!

The opportunity to make our dreams come true!

The opportunity for us to be in a better financial situation, without losing anything!
The opportunity to write in my blog a bit more!

The opportunity for creativity!

The opportunity to homestead our own property, in the area we would like to move to!

The opportunity to start the business that I've been thinking about lately :D

The opportunity for peace in this planet!

Many blessings to all!

What do you wish to make room for?

Today is "Wishcasting Wednesday" and Jamie asks us...

"What do you wish to make room for?"

I have been decluttering quite a bit lately and continue to do so. I feel like it's time to clear out everything I've been holding on to that no longer suits my life and move on. I also was a shopaholic (Thrift stores, Estate sales, Yard/Garage Sales, and pretty much any sales). I used it for therapeutic reasons. Now don't get me wrong, I still like a good sale every now and then, but I'm just not obsessed with the thrill of finding treasures. I now have my own treasures here at home - Now that I'm a mother it's my family. With that, I've been "Letting Go" in order to make room for good in my life...and it's really about time! I'm glad I reached this point of being ready to let go!! With things more organized here at home, I can actually walk in and I feel like I can breathe. The chi is really starting to flow!

I heard a talk around the same time of my "Letting Go" post, in which the speaker had mentioned that in order for a person to receive the good things in your life AND the things you want, you need to make room for them-physically, emotionally, and spiritually by letting go of what you no longer need.

What do I wish to make room for? I wish to make room to receive the many more blessings we are about to receive both individually and as a family! Room for our dreams to manifest.

I also wish to make room for creativity!

Blessings to all of you!

These Are The Days To Remember...

Today is "Wishcasting Wednesday" and Jamie asks us, "What do you wish to remember"? It seems to me that so often I'm singing along with Natalie Merchant to that song, "These are the Days" by 10,000 Maniacs...

"These are the days you'll remember. Never before and never since, I promise, will the whole world be warm as this. And as you feel it, you'll know it's true that you are blessed and lucky. It's true that you, are touched by something that will grow and bloom in you. These are the days you'll remember. When May is rushing over you with desire to be part of the miracles you see in every hour. You'll know it's true that you are blessed and lucky. It's true that you are touched by something that will grow and bloom in you. These are days. These are the days you might fill with laughter until you break. These days you might feel a shaft of light make its way across your face. And when you do you'll know how it was meant to be. See the signs and know their meaning. It's true, you'll know how it was meant to be. Hear the signs and know they're speaking to you, to you."

My children are still babies and hopefully we will add a few more to our little clan. For us, "These are the days". I wish to remember these days with fond memories of a magical childhood for my children and in the future... my grandchildren and great grandchildren will hopefully have our influences. I wish they will look upon their lives as well and think..."I had such awesome parents!" The days do go by so fast and it seems that everytime I blink, my little one's have grown another inch! I wish to remember our family's life filled with joy, love, and laughter. I wish to remember the warmth of the love in our lives! I must admit..I also look forward to the many more warm memories we are creating!!

Blessings to you all!

On a completely different note, if you are a lover of vintage items, please see my previous post for a giveaway ending August 2nd.

"What do you wish to tell the world?"- Wishcasting Wednesday

Over at Jamie Ridler's for Wishcasting Wednesday she is asking us, "What do you wish to tell the world?" What a awesome question! I feel it's important to think about the world. Mother Earth as well as all her children. It is important to LOVE as this is the strongest energy that we can give to one another. It is important to respect and honor, as with this we allow each person to be themselves without judgement and we would nurture our planet. It is important to live in the now. I strongly believe in that saying..."The past was yesterday, the future is tomorrow, but today is a gift that's why we call it THE PRESENT". I feel it's important to always keep an open mind, because the day you think you know it all is the day you stop learning-there is always something to learn. I feel it's important to believe in your dreams. If you always believe AND see it in your minds eye...it will manifest. I feel it's important to tread lightly. Think about how you contribute to our planet. I feel it's important to honor our children, for they are our future. Teach them these things and surround them with love. My wish; Close your eyes and see our planet surrounded and filled with the energy of love, so that she may heal, so that we may have peace, so that we all live our lives with light and love in a positive and love filled environment, and see the innocence in everyone. Always LOVE...through love all things are possible! Blessings to you all my friends!

Wishcasting Wednesday!

I just joined up with Jamie Ridler and Wishcasting Wednesday today! I think this is such an awesome thing she has going here. I do believe that we have the power to co-create and through such things as affirmations we are able to create our own reality. I know not everyone will agree with this, but then again, that's the beauty of everyone having their own path. Either way, "Wishcasting" is very agreeable to my nature. I'm pretty excited about joining in! Especially since I had just found out about this through some of my fellow bloggers-please see blogs I follow, because there is more than one. I've seen the button on these blogs, but it wasn't until two weeks ago that I decided (or had the time rather) to check it out. Jamie was just getting ready to start her new website.

So here we are...her first 'Wishcasting Wednesday" on her new site! Today's wish is..."What do you wish to invite in?".

I wish to invite in prosperity, so that we have the means to do what we dream of. This would entail our move to the Portland, Oregon area and beginning our own homestead. We dream of raising our children here. We would love to have a small farm of both veggies and fruit. Animals-sheep for wool, cows for raw milk and other products, and chicken for their eggs. We've been thinking a lot about this more and more. Originally, we were going to move to Portland this past March, but that fell through. We've had our hopes on this area for quite some time and plan on moving there within the next 2 years, hopefully sooner. I invite this dream to manifest!
