Wishing Wand Wednesday: What Shall We Wish For?

Wishing Wand Wednesday

Once upon a time, I wanted my very own magic wand...

Influenced by Samantha Stevens, Jeannie and her handsome Major, and Cinderella's own fairy godmother, I wanted my own way to make wishes come true. And then, I discovered that wishes really can come true (it can happen to you).

And I found Jamie Ridler! Most Wednesdays, Jamie suggests that we make wishes and she offers a prompt to help us do so. If we post our answers on our own blogs, we can link up to the wishcasting party on her website.

So I decided to have my own wishing extravaganza here, and even if she takes a week off or two, will still offer to send out energy on your behalf, wishing along with you for whatever you'd like to create in your life. And I have my very own wishing wand...

I am wishing right along with you, by the way. Today, I am wishing for a successful month of blogging for all of us. I had such a great time last time and am feeling optimistic about this time as well. And I can't wait to reconnect with everyone and meet new bloggers, as well.

Also, I've decided (just for fun) to make all of my wishes this month related to the Ultimate Blog Challenge. Stay tuned. :)

What are your wishes this week?

Have a great day!

This week's prompt is ...what do you wish to make?

What do I wish to make? Well, I have been in a wand-making mood of late, and have been delighted with my faerie wand, which is just a bit crafty, if I do say so, myself...

So what's next? I've been thinking about making a Santa wand. Ooh, I almost felt giddy just thinking about it, so I have a feeling I will do it in the next week or so. :)

How about you? What are you wishing for today?

Hope your wishes come true!

May Day: Next Month's Blog Changes

What Will May Bring?

Rest...

I heard a clear call to wind down and retreat for the month of May, and I have decided to heed that call. I always regret it when I don't! :)

Themes...

Right now, I am planning to post three times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, but some posts will be brief (and some will be wordless). Here are the themes I have in mind, so far...

(1) Moon Monday: I'll let you know which moon phases to prepare for each week.

(2) Wishcasting Wednesday: Each week, we get to make a wish, along with Jamie.

(3) Faerie Fridays: I have found some really gorgeous music to share that is enchanting (and enchanted).

A New Name...

Have you ever had such a deep spiritual shift that afterward, you felt like you weren't quite the same person? And yet you knew you had connected with a part of yourself that was more true to who you really are than the way you had known yourself before?

As both a pen name (for my writing) and a spiritual name, I have chosen Anna Jane Moonstone to represent me on the web and to remind me of who I am becoming and who I have been.

It's not my birth name and in my private life, among family and friends, my name will not change. So for those of you who already know me or who have seen my other name online, I am sure it will take some getting used to, which I completely understand.

And though I do like the idea of creating some daylight between my life at home and my work online, I am not trying to hide my other name. I just won't be using it.

So I may begin to use Anna instead as I sign my blog posts this month. Or I may wait, as I am still getting used to it, too. We'll see!

What have you got planned for May?

Have a great day!

Wishcasting Wednesday: May the Healing Continue

Wishcasting Wednesday

Each Wednesday, Jamie suggests that we make wishes and she offers a prompt to help us do so. If we post our answers on our own blogs, we can link up to the wishcasting party on her website.

This week's prompt is where do you wish for healing? And Jamie asks that we hold her family in her thoughts this week as they have had some difficult news.

My personal wish for healing is for my tummy, which has been mad at me for a while. Hope we can make up and be friends again soon. :)

Of course, as I mentioned in last week's post, my thoughts and wishes are still with the people of Boston as they continue to heal from all that has happened. The shock and trauma, the losses, the pain, etc. And our nation is bruised and grieving as well, as a result.

How about you?

Wishcasting Wednesday: A Wish for Healing

This week's prompt is how do you wish to lighten up?

And my wish this week is for all the wounded, physically or otherwise, after this week's Boston marathon tragedy. My wish is to lighten the load of grief we all are now carrying by sending healing and loving energy and comfort.

For myself, I have worked on grounding and centering and my wish is to hold onto hope and faith in light of what happened. We all lose innocence and safety, whether we are directly affected or not, and that's what I wish to recover for myself.

What about you?

 Wishing you love this week!
