Wednesday Wishes

I’ve made a weekly practice of making Wednesday Wishes because I believe that the Universe is abundant and basically waiting for us to wish our dreams into reality. I know it sounds hokey, but I can’t tell you how many times I’ve consciously wished for something and before I know it, it has somehow manifested itself into my life. So I keep wishing and not just for myself, for others too.

Here’s what I’m wishing for this week…

For myself:

• Someone who I want to call all kinds of horrid names went out of their way to poop on my day and it almost worked. I lost my mind for a bit, ranted, cursed and came up with plans on how I was going to give him his comeuppance and then something happened, Universe. I was dropping my eldest daughter off at school and one of the moms there made me laugh and the laughter was such a welcome relief from the pent up anger I was feeling that I decided to let go of all of it. Screw that guy! I don’t need to spend time creating negative energy to send this person’s way. Clearly he has enough negativity in his life so the next time I see him I am going to gift him with a big ol’ toothy grin and say hello. So what am I wishing for? That I keep this attitude of letting things go instead of letting them eat me up. I want to be happy and generous and I don’t want to give anyone the power to take that away from me.
• I am working on a post that I’m dreading because it’s out of my comfort zone. Remind me throughout the process that this is a blessing and just the kind of “problem” I want to have in life because I’m getting paid to learn and that’s a great thing.

For others:

• Someone I know is mourning the loss of her mother. Guilt and regret are hitting her hard. Can you help her, please? At least help her understand that no matter what her mother knew there was love there. Help her believe that her mother forgives her for all of it because that’s what mothers do.
• A beautiful soul that I’ve known for years online is going through all kinds of family related issues. Her story is not mine to tell so I won’t, but I will make some wishes on her behalf. I hope she finds comfort in friends and knows that she’s not alone. I hope she lets herself have a few good cries to work through all of the pain. I hope she and her family prop each other up right now. I hope that she gets through all the heartbreak, disappointment and unraveled dreams without losing trust that the world and life has so much good in store for her and hers.

That’s it for me this week. What are you wishing for?
