It’s Wednesday, the day I’ve set aside to focus on manifesting abundance in my life in the form of a Wednesday Wishes post. Thanks to the encouragement of lovely souls I’ve come across on the internet, I’m going to go ahead and turn it into a weekly link-up. You see the purpose has always been not just to manifest abundance in my own life, but also to encourage others to do the same.
You may think that I’m the kind of person that is just naturally inclined to believe in the abundance of the Universe, but that’s not true. The truth is that no matter how many times the Universe sends me a clear message that it is abundant, I forget and that’s why I have to make a conscious decision to remind myself that I can have what I want and so can you.
Here’s what I’m wishing for this week:
1. The death of Robin Williams has hit me hard, very hard. If you would have told me that I would be so affected by his death, I’m not sure I would have believed you. When I found out that he died I was in shock and then when I learned that it was suicide most likely due to depression my soul and body ached for him and for everyone who is suffering, has suffered, or will suffer from depression. My wish is that his death helps to bring awareness and that it makes those who need help, seek help. My wish is that we stop shaming those who suffer from depression, that people stop saying things like, “happiness is a choice” because maybe it is for you, but it’s not that easy for someone who has clinical depression and if you think it is I have to respectfully say that you don’t know what you are talking about. If you need help or you know someone who needs help this is the link to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and this is the number: 1-800-273-8255.
2. I’m interviewing Óscar Jaenada, the star of the Cantiflas movie. He’s in San Francisco for a press day and I’ll be there to ask a few preguntitas. Universe, please help me do a good job and keep my nerves at bay. I get the jitters when meeting new people especially when they just did a movie of one of my childhood favorites.
That’s it for me this week.

Hola amiga, I hear you. I felt the same about his death, and yesterday when I read how it happened…it hurt really bad. Made me think about that saying in Spanish “caras vemos, corazones no sabemos”, so be kind to everyone. Thanks so much for hosting this! Much love.
I am with you 150%. Your first wish gives voice not only to your wish but also to the emotions swirling around in me over the death of Robin Williams. I wanted to write a tribute post deserving of all that he gave, but even writing this my eyes are glazing over with tears.
I wish you all the best with your interview.
I’m back! I just watched the trailer. OMG that looks funny.
You wonderful girl! Hugs! How nice to see this linky. You know I am partial to you and your blog.
Robin Williams’ death was a shock, who didn’t love him? It is heart-breaking to read about how it happened, that is the most severe shock! I do believe happiness is a choice – and I am only speaking for myself, but I would never be presumptuous enough to make it a blanket statement. I’ve seen friends with clinical depression suffer, along with loved ones and know how painful it is.
I know your interview is going to rock and your preguntitas are just going to flow – you wait and see! You are wonderful with people!
Love you Claudya!
Eeeeks. I have my post in my drafts folder and didn’t get to publish it, Claudya! I can’t believe I missed the linky this week. Next week, I’ll have my post up on time. Hugs! Even though I can’t add my link here, I’ll still put the badge up on my other blog (mi dot vidyasury dot com), through which I meant to participate. ♥
I hope your interview went well. I’m sure you did a knock out job!
It was such sad news to hear about his death and his struggles. I agree with all you said.
I’m doing this late because of a crazy week so my wish is for a less hectic week next week. 🙂
