Wishes + a New Year

There is a place you can go.  A place safe from fear and anger.  A place free of doubt and anxiety.   It is a place that is easy to get to, down a heathered path…

      

Wishes come true 2009 4
 

You can get there, if you want to.  If you wish to.  If you allow yourself to turn the key,  for it is a place that lives inside you, inside me.  It is a place where wishes live, and where wishes come true.

      

Wishes come true 2009 1

You see, sometimes curious things happen.  You make a wish, even when you don't realize it, and day by day something beautiful grows and builds.

      

Wishes come true 2009 3

We tend to think that if something loses it's life, that it no longer has strength and power.  Perhaps we do that with wishes as well.  We wish, but do we hold on to our wishes?  Do we believe that they grow in vibrancy, even if they are not fresh and new?

      

Wishes come true 2009 5
 

It seems in fact, that they do.  There is vast beauty in the weathering of things, even wishes.  We ardently embrace old weathered metal and peeling paint on wood.  But, what about wrinkles on faces?  Streaks of white hair?  And what about those old wishes?  Have you let go of them?  Have you stopped believing?

Are they forgotten because they are 3 weeks old, or 30 years old?

It is never too late for wishes to come true. 

      

Wishes come true 2009 2

Be it quite grand or quite small, encrypted or screamed out loud, this is the post where we will collect our wishes.  Yours and mine, and then set them free next week.  Free to come true…

 

Wishes come true 2009 6
 

So, with that, I will make the first wish to add to the giant magical tea cup of wishes (in comments). 

No wish is too grand, this is true.  But I ask, if you got everything you wanted in life -if you had it all, what would your wish then be?

Wishes abound!! 

I shall set your wishes free, on their maiden voyage to the wish keeper in a few days.  You can leave as many wishes as you'd like 😉

Much Love and Happy New Year!!! ~ Vanessa

ps:  I was crocheting, and making last minute gifts for my Grandmammie's birthday party tomorrow, when I felt a whisper.  It was the moon beckoning me into the bitter cold, to show me what 2010 had in store for us all… 

It was magical.   

      

The moon meets 2010

I whispered the words to a favorite song, into the night sky…  Calling Moon and Moon… 

  1. So, here I go, my wish(es). That my parents stay healthy and stay a part of our lives until they are little old people. That my siblings stay safe and find a way to their dreams. That my family (grandparents, aunts, uncles etc) are kept safe and healthy as well, and are protected from any sadness or harm. That Mister Lovee stays healthy and well, and in my life for many years to come. That my pets feel my love, and that they stay in our lives for years to come as well. And for myself, I wish for continued peace of mind, for the ability to get through hardships with ease, and that I might continue to do what I love for the rest of my life, and be able to help sustain our little household.
    And, I wish that everyone who comes here and shares their wishes sees them manifesting themselves soon…

  2. Nelly says:

    I wish to always stay grounded within my art,and no matter what goes on around me that I will always be able to see the beauty in all things.I wish for my little fairies to follow the road less taken and to do whatever it is that makes them happy.And lastly I wish for mine and my little family’s health so that we can enjoy our days here on this earth.

  3. Kylee says:

    V~
    My wish is for the health and happiness of my 2 little boys. They are my everything!!
    p.s. And of course the health and happiness of my beloved hubster 🙂

  4. Britten says:

    My wish is to continue to carve out and authentic, rich, spiritual and magical life for me and my family. To fine tune my craft, taste and style. To teach my children more and help their spirits grow and learn. To love my husband unconditionally. To balance all of this better.
    And last but not least, to provide a life that is simple yet abundant doing what I love. 🖤

  5. Kim says:

    I wish for the health, happiness and success of my 3 fabulous kids and my better half.
    I wish that my family and me make it through our current trials and tribulations without losing our hearts, faith and home.
    I wish that my sister-in-law will make it through her current battle with lip cancer and live to be cancer free.
    I wish to find a way out of my darkness and be free and faithful.
    I wish to continue to be a part of this fabulous art blogging community.
    I wish to be free from fear and doubt.
    I wish that my children won’t be like me.
    I wish to get a really cool pair of boots.

  6. Marrissa says:

    I wish that all of those I love and care for get all that they hope for. Also that I have the strength to overcome any obstacles that challenge my family and I this year. I wish for my little family to be healthy and safe… That more people can see the glass half full and stop with all the constant negativity! That more was being done to protect our environment, and that we could be magically debt free without consequence 🙂 I know I’m probably asking for too much but dreams are free! Have a sparkling year Vanessa and all, may all your wishes come true xo

  7. This is lovely! I actually put up a List of Demands on my blog for 2010 but your post is making me feel less hostile. (Still, 2010, you know what you need to do!)
    I want much more money.
    I want a bigger apartment.
    I want my work to be more recognized, my writing and photography in particular.
    I want a qualified editing gig now and then
    I want to meet more people with similar interests
    I want to sleep better (although I believe points #1 and 2 will solve this)
    I want love and I have a certain someone in mind. Perhaps. I want to at least have the courage to show how I feel.
    I’m not going to sound better than I am here. Flat out – I wish for money since it will make me sleep better and worry less, live somewhere calmer, sleep in a bigger, softer bed which I can’t afford to buy now and allow me to travel more and feel better. I never realised how important money was until last year.

  8. Pattee says:

    My wish is for my friend Renee to be free of cancer and watch her grandchildren grow up.
    I wish for the health and safety for my family and I.
    I wish that I can find peace within myself.
    Thanks Vanessa
    Pattee

    Happy New Year V….xoxoxo

  10. Kim says:

    Vanessa, you said that we could make as many wishes as we like, and I forgot a few. I know that you are the only person that can deliver these wishes to the appropriate wish factory…
    I wish that the homeless families in my community will find shelter for themselves and their children.
    I wish that my cousin won’t feel the same guilt that I do for having no choice but to put her mom in a Board and Care.
    I wish for a beautiful garden this year.
    I wish that my husband will finally get recognized at work for the loyal and hard working man that he is.
    I wish that the person who bought my Telecaster will love and cherish it as I always did.
    I may think of more wishes later.
    Thanks Vanessa. Just putting these wishes down in words makes my heart a little lighter.

  11. Shell says:

    A beautiful post, Vanessa.
    I will share three special wishes for myself.

    I wish for my heart to be healed.
    This is the most private and cherished one of them all..
    I wish to get pregnant and deliver a beautiful healthy baby.

  12. Laura says:

    I wish to meet more people like you, V. People who see the beauty in everything and helps others to see that beauty as well.
    I wish to find some happiness in myself, so that I can share a little happiness with others.
    And most especially, I wish for a love that even time would lie down and be still for. I wish to not be alone anymore, to not be lonely anymore.
    And I wish that we all have our wishes come true.
    blessings

  15. Hello Vanessa… my wish is that everyone’s wishes all come true… (mine too!)… xoxo Julie Marie

  16. Elaine says:

    After thinking about it for a while, I decided that these are my wishes :~)
    1~ I wish that I were a Faerie Princess and could waft my Magic Wand and make EVERYONE’S wishes come true.
    2~ That being said, for myself, I wish that my doctor would figure out why I itch so badly that I can’t sleep at night~~for the past 20 years :~(
    2a~ I wish that my condo would clean and organize itself.

  17. Rhonda Roo says:

    I wish anyone feeling overwhelming sadness or pain would feel the love of those of us who care.
    I wish everyone to know what peace feels like-peace in the community, in the family, in their own heart.
    I wish to embrace and live the
    Ask~Believe~Receive mantra
    I wish to remember to take nothing for granted-health, family/friends, work, play, love, joy, and happy thoughts, and for my family/friends to do the same
    I wish to laugh, play and sing EVERY DAY.
    Thank you, Wishcaster 🖤

  18. Shy says:

    I wish everyone gets to experience at least one miracle and realize the gravity of the gift that they have been granted.
    I wish the things that have happened will make sense to me one day.. Or that I can move forward regardless.
    I wish for my wedding, regardless of how humble it may be.
    I wish that my daughter may never suffer from lack of love or be deprived of her basic needs in life. I wish that she may thrive and grow into twice the person I am.

  19. My wish is simple……I wish for a long, happy, healthy life for myself, BohoMan and all those I love and cherish. Everything else is merely fluff.
    Happy New Year darling friend!
    XOXOXOXO

  23. Joyce says:

    Happy New Year Vanessa. My wish is that people would be nicer to each other. We need to step back and see that we are heading in the wrong direction. Live simply. Love completely.

  24. carolee says:

    Ah, there’s great power in wishes, yes?!
    I’m cheating a little, and copying and pasting wishes from my own blog post tonight, but here they are…
    I wish for Health. Not selfishly, but for those who face challenges far more serious and immediate than ours; for a dear friend’s father who is suffering from a very painful cancer, for a relative, a collector friend and an artist friend also fighting battles with cancer. For another dear friend fighting kidney failure and heart disease. For those with no insurance. I wish for health, for quality, affordable care, and for comfort.
    I wish for Peace. I wish for the realization that, in the words of Ghandi, “There is no way to peace. Peace is the way.”
    I wish for warmth, comfort and safety, not only for those of us who walk on two legs, but for our four legged friends and companions. I wish for an end to cruelty, and for those of us with voices to speak up and protect those without.
    I wish for magic and joy. I wish for delight in the smallest, simplest miracles we see all around us, every day. I wish that we take time to notice these little miracles, to draw inspiration from them, and to never, ever take them for granted.
    I wish for these things and so much more, and I wish you a Happy and blessed year to come!

    I wish to finish the book that I’ve been writting for the last 5 years and get it published.
    I wish this year of 2010 brings much happiness and fortune our way….we need it 🙂
    I hope that the doll show that I’m attending in Jan is what I expect and more. Getting me what I want so badly!!!

    Dearest Wish-Granter,
    I wish that all the people of the world would be kinder to each other, as we are all more alike than we are different.
    I wish I could come out there, where it’s warm and oh-so-charming and spend a wild twirly weekend with you and your fur-babies (including that Mr Lovee with the wild and curly locks). 😉
    Be happy, Missy Vee, as only you can be. Happy New Year!
    xoxo

    I wish for Mr. and Mrs. Hatter good health and many happy times.
    I wish for all of my Husband’s dreams to come true…he already has good health…I wish for him to keep his good health.
    I wish for you and Mr. Lovee good health and happiness…and for all your dreams to come true.
    Have you noticed a trend…health is such an important thing to have…money pales in comparison.

    I wish for all that’s in my heart 🙂
    Thankyou for this opportunity to post on to your lovely blog x

  60. Happy Birthday to your grandmother! I hope her day was very special! And Happy New year to you and your family. I wish for good health and burdens to be lightened in the year to come. Thank you, sweet friend! You are always thinking of everyone else just as a true friend always does. God bless you.

  61. Dane says:

    I wish for money as well; to have enough to save for my future and to live a little less stressfully now, and maybe even to travel.
    I wish for the love of my life to finally show up.
    I wish for my friend Angie to beat cancer again.
    I wish for improved health for my parents.

  62. sadira says:

    It’s wishing time again isn’t it? I LOVE this time of year. I feel so full right now that I almost don’t know what to wish for that I don’t already have (or maybe I’m a bit scared…) I shall wish for the ease of finding myself in the space that I’ve been in for the last part of this year…this happiness and delight in myself, confidence, love, creativity, strength and hope. I wish for Love…for children, for travel, and continuing business success and good health. I also wish that anyone who hasn’t been able to stop by this post to wish may realize the dreams they have as well. I also wish that I may have the amazing support and love that I already have to continue…allowing me to be surrounded by the people I need in my life, and to also be able to give my gifts to those who need them…with a sparkly smile and lots of love.

    Hi Vanessa,
    First of all, I’m sorry about my English, it’s not very good, as it is not my first language, I’m much better reading it, that trying to write it, or speak it… :).
    I read your blog almost every day, but I’ve never commented before altough i wanted to(because of the language barrier) but this time I felt the need to do it, I didn’t want to lose the opportunity to send the wishes of my heart to your wish keeper, so I’m really sorry if I don’t make a lot of sense to you, but I hope your wish keeper understands my message somehow.
    I also wanted to thank you, because your blog gives me the inspiration I need to go on with my day, when times are hard, when life becomes too…mmm, real?…
    It’s truly a magical and beautiful haven, definitely a blessing for me, so,thank you, for sharing with the world, the beautiful soul and wonderful artist you are …
    Well, now, here are my wishes 🙂
    -I wish to HEAL, my mind and soul, I wish to be emotionally and physically healed. I wish to have peace of mind.
    -I wish to be brave, and go after my dreams, even if people think that they are childish or stupid.I wish to be able to make my dreams come true.
    -I wish to become a photographer, and an artist. I wish to live the life I’ve always imagined and dreamed about.
    -I wish to learn how to let go of anything
    or anyone that is not good for me.
    -I wish to show my husband, my family and my friends, how I love them, I wish to appreciate their love for me, and to not give love and friendship for granted.
    -I wish to get closer to my creator, to find a way to communicate with him that works with me, I wish a really intimate, and close relationship with him.
    -I wish to become a mother for the child I have longed for so long, I wish to be ready to be the mother that my child will need.
    -I wish for all the wishes of this post, and all readers to come true.
    thank you
    🙂

  64. I wish that I could grow great tasting tomatoes in my greenhouse in the winter without them costing $142 each because of heating costs.
    I also wish for no one to ever go hungry again.

  65. I wish that the whole world were one…like John Lennon said…no war, just peace, and love, and hope, and friendship, no hate, or strife, no sickness, or death, living forever…it will happen some day…God knows… and He has the plan… Peace to everyone and may all of your wishes come true.
    Bless you Miss V

    I wish that I will do well on the GRE and get accepted to UofA, Florida State, and the other grad schools I am applying to, so that I can move out of this town and eventually have a career I love. I wish that my parents would be free of the problems this economy has caused them and actually be able to retire like they had planned. I wish for my fuzzies to live many more healthy years (they are starting to get up there for cats). I wish to not be so cold most of the year, which will happen if my first wish comes true!

  70. I wish I had thought of this!
    I intend to conjure in this new year:
    ~divorce papers!
    ~health and clean MRIs for my own sweet self
    ~health and wealth for all those I love
    ~wishes to come true for all the wishers before me
    ~success and continued inspiration for my blog and art!
    ~to spend a week in Mississippi for some quality time with my aging grandparents and soak them all up while they are still here
    ~I wish that Roxi will stop destroying things so I can leave her roaming free in the house when I’m not home!
    ~I wish I could have another pet ‘possum as sweet as my beloved Pumpkin
    ~to have many worthy suitors but to remain beholden to none
    ~to learn how to hold balance in life and move through it with grace
    ~to learn my lessons once and not have to repeat them
    “whirled peas”!
    Thank you for giving so many people such a magical platform to share their wishes, you’re a delightful inspiration!
    ~Dusti “The Halloweenstress”

  75. EtherealSuz says:

    The sheer power in the words above is a rich, swirling dervish of light, space and energy! Just reading them, feeling them and adding my shimmering shard of hope to them makes me feel so good:)
    My wish is this: Dearest Universe, this journey I’ve embarked upon is one I know you’ve meant for me . . . and looking backward only reveals that the bridge to my past is a crumbled, smoking pile of ash. The way back is gone . . .
    Please accept my gratitude each moment of every physical day here on Earth.
    Peace comes over me when I am on the right path. My wish is to hone my ability to recognize my path without listening to my mind, but feeling in my soul. Happy New Year Vanessa!

  81. Krista Komis says:

    My one wish is this…
    To be happy.
    No matter what happens, I wish to be happy. I want to be positive and full of hope, to see the little things and live a fulfilled life, one that I can be proud of. One that is full of magic and joy and fun, new adventures and excitement and spontaneity.
    Whatever path I take and whatever dreams of mine that might come true, I wish always to just be happy. 🙂

    I wish to be as a good a friend in return.
    I wish to be as good a wife to my dear, kind husband as he is to me.
    I wish to continue to find a way to balance encouraging the growth of the creative mind of my students while also teaching the importance of writing correcting and thinking critically. In my room, we LOVE words
    Selfishly:
    I wish to learn my new Nikon d90 inside and out and relearn my long forgotten photography skills.
    Continue to recover from a back injury from last July.

    I wish that there would be no trash dumped in the ocean, and that our ocean will be pristine for future generations of fish and reef and seals and polar bears and penguins and humans.
    Thank you Vanessa! xo

  87. DeathButterfly says:

    I wish to find a job before summer. I also wish to be more motivated in everything that I do. Finally, I wish to be more enlightened; to become more skilled in meditation and to settle into my spirituality.
    Thank you~ You really are a beautiful person.

  88. Cinnibonbon says:

    Happy New Year to you–sweet girl!!
    Firt of all –I wish nothing but the best for you!!
    I wish for my daughter to live a long and happy life, and that she find her true calling in life and stays true to her spirit.
    I wish to re-connect with my husband, and appreciate him for all the glorious gifts he has given me (without a second thought or strings). He loves me and I know this. I must show him in return how much I love him and treat him with gentle kindness, hugs and kisses just as he would like for me to.
    For myself, I wish for a healthy spirit and soul!
    My many blessing to all the blogging gals that have touched my heart in so many ways!!
    I wish for all of you to have continued happiness.

    I have just started reading your beautiful blog…thankyou for such a lovely place to come and wish….
    I would like to wish happiness and health to my 3 precious boys.
    My life long wish is to move to England.

  90. Jill says:

    I don’t usually wish for anything for myself but I’m going to be selfish today. Just for this day. I wish that 2010 will be filled with days that my physical body feels well and strong – just that ‘good’ feeling you have when nothing hurts. Yes, that’s my wish.

  91. Linnea-maria says:

    What a beautiful post. Lovely written!
    My dreams is a process I’m still working on to fullfill my life, guide my children, love my man and make my innermost dreams come true.
    Best wishes to you /linnea-maria

    My goodness, I love this post! I feel inspired. And that is my wish, to continue to be inspired and to be able to translate that into my work so that I will be able to someday support myself (and a family) with my design-and then maybe I will inspire others to pursue their wishes as you have done for me. Thank you so very much, I hope your year is filled will bliss and that all your wishes come true! xo~aimee

  94. Melanie says:

    Happy New Year to you and Mr. Lovee, Miss V. Thank you for providing a forum for wishes and I hope everyone’s wishes come true. Here are mine:
    *Health and safety for my family (including
    the much-loved fur people who share our
    lives).
    *Financial security – not extreme wealth,
    just enough to be comfortable and to be
    worry-free.
    *To get my Master’s Degree…
    and to work in the field that is my true
    calling: the preservation and promotion of
    classic films.
    *To once again feel that I deserve to be a
    creative person and to make room for
    creativity and creation of art in my life.
    *Finally, a home of my own, one that
    includes a home studio.

  95. Sue Smith says:

    I love being able to visit here and have it reaffirmed that there is magic, good and positivity alive in our world. Thank you 🙂
    For 2010 I wish for us all all that we wish for ourselves; for the courage to pursue our wishes and for the self-love to allow us to welcome and accept the abundance we seek.
    My personal wish is that I can put right a relationship that I broke through thoughtlessness and lack of care.

  96. Di Overton says:

    Happy New Decade. May all your hopes, wishes and dreams come true.
    Much Love

    Oh such beauty! 🙂 I wish above all for people to treat one and other as they would wish to be treated themselves…everywhere, all over this great wide world! 🙂 And I wish to be less worried and stressed about little things! 🙂
    Thank You for your lovely posts, Miss Fanciful!!

  98. Julia says:

    I wish to find my place in this world. A place where I can work for the better of mankind, and still earn enough to live comfortably, without making enough to become rich.
    I wish that all those surrounding me stay healthy.
    I wish that we come through the hardships of refurbishing a house where the kitchen is a burnt, black hole, to make it a home and a welcoming place for the person living there, my mother-in-law-to-be.
    I wish for my friend Corinna in the land of the rising sun to find her way and be peacefully happy. And for my friend Dagi of the many talents, that she find the way to her heart and listens to it.
    I wish for there to be more peace and less fight. I wish for more generosity and less greed, and for more food and less arms.
    Thank you, Vanessa.
    Julia

  99. Chris says:

    My wish is that each of us, when threatened or angered or confused or dismissive, would take a moment to think ‘outside the self’ about what another person feels, wants, or means to say. Walk in their shoes. It could make all the difference.

  100. Thanya says:

    Thank you so much ^____^

  101. Kathy Julian says:

    Happy New Year – and thanks so much for your delightful blog! I wish for joy for my children – health for us all and love all around.
