Today when I was packing to visit my family in Seattle, I came across an old travel brochure for Moorea in French Polynesia, which I thought at one time I’d visit. The cover showed a resort with thatched huts on stilts in the water, which was a beautiful transparent aquamarine, and I thought, I wish I could have done that. And I immediately realized I could do that if I really want to…the only thing holding me back is me. I could find the money, even though it would be quite a stretch, and I can take the time off work, so what’s holding me back? I think when I say I wish, I mean I wish I could imagine having fun by myself or I wish I were more spontaneous, or I wish I knew what I really wanted to do. I’m taking a book with me called The Wishing Year and I hope it gives me some insight into how to make wishing less wistful and more purposeful. Wish me luck.
I hope you’ll let us know how you like that book! It looks fantastic:)
I think you might enjoy this video.

I need to learn to dream and to wish. I’ve gotten too comfortable in my life.
That book sounds intriguing. Think I’ll look for it today in the bookstores.
Returning to live/work Europe is my wish… on my terms, that is..
Still figuring it all out..
I live near Seattle, enjoy your stay…
I thought that book was very good Nikki, I think you will too. And I do wish you luck … wonderfully purposeful luck!
Loved it! I recently did a Pecha Kucha presentation and it was so great for me because I was terrified and did it anyway. N
Hope you have a great trip Nikki! I’m off to Amazon to search out that book..I’m sold on the title alone.
