Connection

(bellawish necklace by Stacy)


Today's Wishcasting asks What dream do you wish to explore? Immediately I think of my Aunt for whom Cowgirl is named, and who always said to me "you can always dream; dreaming is for free!" If I've discovered anything in the past year, it is not to stop at dreaming, but to think about Action and take those first steps towards manifesting my dreams.

I have a list of dreams in my new planner and in thinking about which one I want to explore, I find myself getting really excited when I think about a retreat with some of the women I've connected with online. My Unravellers 365 group has discussed a retreat/get together and I want to be part of making that happen in the coming year. I also have dreamed about attending Squam in the Fall and am especially eager to go this year as the lovely Susannah will be teaching there for the first time. (And YIKES! The Fall 2010 schedule has been posted and registration opens February 1 which means I have to act on this soon!)

In essence, these dreams are about connection. I want to explore these new friendships and strengthen the bonds that have brought us together. I want to make new connections, as they generally bring with them energy, inspiration and creative resources. Both these dreams involve travel, which I've always loved but now am more hesitant to undertake because of Cowgirl. And Moosie. But I know when I journey away from home, it is to fill myself with new ideas and travel is a way I replenish my spirit. I return home better able to share myself with my family. And these trips would strengthen the network that supports me as I work to spin my dreams into reality.

So I'm getting my calendar out and inking in some dates ...

  2. As Lis wishes for her self, so I wish for her as well.

    That's a powerful thing to wish for - connection. I believe our connections multiply our personal power. Looking forward to reading/hearing about it as it unfolds for you.

  3. Lis, you reminded me of the key ingredient that is necessary in the wishing. I am way too passive when it comes to that part. Way too...but I hope, like you, to start putting one foot in front of the other to get where it is I wish to go.

    As this bright one so wishes for herself, I lovingly and with intention wish for her also!

  4. My beautiful Goddess-school sister, I so hope you can go to Squam! That is my wish too! I live here in NH so there's not much travel involved (and whee! that means I can meet some folks at the airport!)but the financial scrambling is weighing on me! How great if we both got to go!

    As Lis wishes for herself, so do I wish for her also!

  6. I love so much the adventures you are planning. This time last year I would never have guessed that online connections could be so real and so powerful, now I envy your plans for retreats to meet some of your wonderful on line friends ;) I look forward to reading all about your journeys and maybe one day I too I will undertake such an adventure x
