Every Wednesday, the incredibly talented Jamie Ridler, of Jamie Ridler Studios, posts a Wishcasting prompt.
Each week I read it, and find myself wishing I had the time, and a special place to answer her prompt.
Well, now I’ve made a place, a beautiful page on my blog, to cradle my wishes and dreams.
I’m guessing that some weeks I’ll answer her prompt, and some weeks I still won’t get to it. On the days when I do make time to honor my wishes and dreams, they’ll be here, on the Wishcasting Wednesday page of my blog.
So here’s to my Wishcast for August 17, 2010 ~
Wishcasting Wednesday: Where Do You Wish To Make A Fresh Start?
I generally close each post by writing ‘Take good care’. I write this because I understand how foundational taking care of ourselves is to our health and happiness. I truly want my readers to ‘take good care’. I want them, I want you, to be well and happy.
My wish is that I will make a fresh start at my own self care. When my world opens up to amazing people and experiences, I sometimes spread myself too thin, and wind up neglecting the routines that so nourish and allow the very growth I seek.
I see what other creative people are accomplishing and I am eager to keep up. I see the simplicity of other lives, and crave simplicity. Always, I must remember to just take life one day at a time, and cherish the gifts of today.
I wish to allow myself this time of floating and discernment, and make a fresh start with my own self-care.
I’m really glad you’re here today … and sincerely I ask you, to take good care of yourself.
So, Where Do You Wish To Make A Fresh Start?

That really is the most beautiful picture! Fresh starts are incredibly healthy I think and I thank Jamie for the prompt this week. Here’s to us finding the time – and energy – to help ours come true. Best wishes to you on achieving your fresh start.

What better wish than for our own self-care. From there, you can create anything!
As Jane wishes for herself, so I wish for her as well.
Our own self care is so important … without it weariness sets in, and that is never good for creativity.
Thank you for the good wishes!
Sweet image.

Hi, Jane…taking care of myself seems to be a full time job, and has been since 2004 with lots of healthy changes that included losing 160 pounds, exercising regularly, and other changes. Thanks for sharing this.

Thanks so much for visiting today. I’m glad you were here.
I agree that taking care of ourselves can be a full time job. Life’s distractions can make this a real challenge unless we maintain healthy intentions. I’m proud of you for changing your life so dramatically. I trust you will stay with it.
I visited http://www.tribalblogs.net today . It looks like an amazing community. I’ll visit again soon and learn more.

So very beautiful, warm and sweet. What an act self-care already.
Thank you, JoAnna, and I’m glad to see you again! Perhaps raising our intention is what Wishcasting Wednesday is all about, so the self-care began the moment I began typing my wish.
Much gratitude …

I will ~ just finished a yummy home cooked supper with organic veggies and a delicious salad. Taking care of myself feels great! I’ll spend the rest of the evening working on designing some bookmarks I’ve been meaning to get to. Nice …
