Jamie, this week’s question was like walking on a beach and watching the sun set…Easy and enjoyable :)

Lissa 09.30.09 at 12:52 am

It’s been awhile. Have missed my fab “wishcasters” tremendously.

Julie 09.30.09 at 1:29 am

Thank you for the opportunity to SHARE!

Lisa 09.30.09 at 2:10 am

Sharing…so much to share. But I finally got focused!

Sunfire 09.30.09 at 2:36 am

I had not been keeping up with the blogs I follow for quite some time. Finally i got back in the game, and realized this had moved from the other site.

Anyhow, I’m back, with a fresh wish to share!

Tess 09.30.09 at 6:50 am

Another great wish prompt. I try to answer this first thing when I wake up, I figure that will be the best time for me to get my most authentic answer!

June Ahern 09.30.09 at 11:11 am

Like a wish come true - sharing and encouragement to believe. Thank you so much. Blessed be.

Dreamwriter 09.30.09 at 11:23 am

Thanks for this one! I needed it to open my eyes of the possibilities!

Silky Hart 09.30.09 at 11:42 am

As always, thank you for SHARING such a thought provoking question!

Jennifer 09.30.09 at 12:44 pm

Missed the last week or two, glad to be back :)

Julie 09.30.09 at 1:27 pm

What a beautiful question.

Tabitha the KnittingJourneyman 09.30.09 at 2:17 pm

What an amazing question –and excellent timing on presenting it as well.

As Jamie wishes for herself, I so wish for her as well.

Miss Becky 09.30.09 at 3:53 pm

Jamie, thank you for hosting such a magical event each Wednesday. As Jamie wishes for herself, so I wish for her also :)

Jamie, I hope you don’t mind but this week I am posting here - hiding away. You’ll understand why, when you read my post. I have put my blog address on my cv - so potential employers may read it, and I’m not sure I want them to read this one…. I was about to hit publish when this thought occurred to me, so this is the next best thing.
I would love to share something wonderful with my fellow bloggers who always offer such support and guidance - a slice of this chocolate cake from Konditor & Cook perhaps? Or, if you don’t like chocolate (strange person!), then a pretty flower from an English country garden? (well you’ll have to imagine the pictures, they are lovely believe me!)
Might I also share something else? You see I have a dilemma, and you know what they say about a problem shared…
It’s my job. I hate it, but I need it to pay my bills. This job is just not me. It stifles my creativity, sucks me dry and bores me senseless. For eight hours a day I have to become someone I don’t want to be. I turn out the work they want but I’m not proud of it. It does not feel like my work. All this tedium combined with driving long distances makes me tired and stressed.
I only come alive when I leave that place - when I’m with my son, boyfriend, friends & family. When I write this blog, when I paint and potter, when I create what my heart tells me to create.
I am trying to find something else, but we all know the state of the economy at the moment. It’s also very difficult to put in the effort needed to find what I really want to be doing when I am so tired and out of the house at work most of the day.
Do I take a gamble and just leave? Risk not being able to find something suitable? Or, do I stay and slowly bleed, becoming more and more disillusioned with both this role and my career? I feel like I just can’t do this anymore, that I’m denying some basic instinct and this is making me miserable.
I finally, at nearly 40 years of age, believe I know what I want to do. I want a portfolio of roles - a bit of internal communications consultancy and freelance writing (the money earners). I’d love to paint, paint, create, paint, make, paint… I want to open my Etsy shop (I will do this…. I have a very good incentive now - more on that in another post!). I want to be out there promoting and pushing myself. I want to believe I can do this. I want to write my novel. I want to write for magazines, television, radio - I just want to write! I’m bursting with creative ideas. I’m also finally listening to people who are telling me I can do it. I can paint, I can write… (I sold a painting the other day!!). Is it just a pipe dream?
So there is my problem. Shared. It feels a little strange writing this and airing it all in blogland. Maybe I feel a little better, I’m not sure. I’ve been trying to be truthful with myself this week - all part of the Joy Diet (read more on Friday). This has been a touch painful, a touch liberating. I’m looking forward to reading how the rest of the blogging group got on with this one.
I have a job interview coming up. I don’t them to read about my self-doubts! I need the job and the salary!
A huge thank you to Jamie for all the wonderful writing inspiration and for pulling the truth out of me.
Lisa

Might I have two wishes? First for soldiers, past, & present wishing them peace and love. Second wish sell all books in garage within six months time, meeting producers’ criteria for x-amount of copies sold, interest is greater to make a film. My latest book tour storyw/pics http://www.catholicpagan.typepad.com Blessed be.

June Ahern 11.16.09 at 10:14 pm

I wish for females to remember their great social, community and world influence and encourage each other to take leadership roles.

June Ahern 01.06.10 at 1:18 am

Today I wish to be a positive influence, to affect in someway a person who needs uplifting by being a caring person. It’s not important that I know how, when or who. I trust it will happen. Blessed be.
