In Five Years I Will Be....

And how is your wish list going this weekend?  Mine is a little slow in blossoming, but some of it has and that's really the point.  To do something on there.  Although the inner Guard of Free Time wants all of it to get done.  

However, now is not the post to review my perceived laziness.  Or lack of being a Take 5 winner.  Now is going to be my commitment to the Marc Allen book, The Magical Path.  And to find my bra, which I am hoping is in my overnight bag and not over at Flip's house.  My overnight bag is a super chic Stop & Shop reusable bag.  With double straps.  Unlike my bra.  Not needed.  Crystal balls, not boulders.

So the first pages deal with meditations. Wonderful meditations.  One of them involves seeing yourself after five years have gone by.  So while this is a meditation, and I'll definitely do it as such, I'm going to write this part down.  What a toughie!  First and foremost:

*My time is very much my own.  I am either working from home on a constant basis or close to it.  I may be working for someone else or I may be creating my own paycheck

*I do not have to get up at 6am unless I want to.  Or 6:15.  I can get up nicely around 7-7:30am.  Coffee happens, a nice breakfast....checking email, etc.  Writing time is good anytime before lunch or anytime after if inspired. 

*I am creating.  Whatever forms it may take because it changes, ebbs and flows.  I write.  I create jewelry and I take pictures.  That's what I love doing.  

*I may also be volunteering for an animal sanctuary a day or so per week.  Preferably with the crows but it can be anything.  As long as it helps.

*There is time for exercise.  Be it out at the track, a walk in a beautiful neighborhood, hula hooping or having equipment in the home at this point, it happens and daily.  

*Yoga is prominent.  I do it now but not as much as I'd like.  I try too hard now to get the actual exercise in between mom and house duties.  

*I am calm.  So calm. Serene.  If I feel triggered, it isn't noticeable to anyone except myself.  Life is magical.  I feel magic and joy with every breath and try to radiate this feeling to anyone in my path.  I still have my dark sense of humour because to destroy that would be to deny who I am.  

*My home smells sooooo nice.  And without synthetics.  Yes there are plenty of candles.  Incense.  And animals.  But it does not smell like animals.  My home layout is a cozy and tasteful one.  Every area makes me and anyone else feel like we have entered a sanctuary of magic and love.  

*I do see any concerts, plays or movies that I like without worry for the cost.  I visit NYC often. And hell, since this is sort of a fantasy, I may even have an apartment there.  I take in plenty of art...museums, history, without having to worry about finances. 

*We eat quite well as far as vegetables and grains.  We eat out at times in nice places.  

*I enjoy the company of my kids and any grandkids (I have the one now, but you never know when others will arrive!).  I see them often.

*All that I can think to give the world is my energy.  Any kind or serene energy that I can pass on, anything I can do to positively change a life, those are the things I'd like to give.  

*I continue to learn much on a daily basis.  Whether it is history, magic or cooking.  

*I have published a book or two by this time and it does well.

*I am selling photographs and/or have published a book with those as well.

*My love life....ah.....well, I suppose there have been very few times in my life that I have been clear with that.  Let's just leave it at a loving, trusting, faithful, passionate, humourous, non-judging relationship.  

*I save money effortlessly.  I have plenty of money to take care of myself and those around me.  I have plenty to travel with and enjoy entertainment with.

*Travelling....yes!  I love train travel.  I'd love to go to New Orleans.  And Canada.  And Chicago again.  Seattle, Portland, Arizona, many many places.  When we learn how to travel through a blink, I will go to Paris, France. 

*I will have no shortage of creative ideas that make me happy and also support my lifestyle.  

*I will feel inspired regularly.  

*Good health will be had by my family and myself.  My daughter's epilepsy will fade so far into the background that we forget she even has it, or it has gone away.

*I am a good friend and mate.  

This is all that I can think of at the moment.  And now, time to allow those wonderful thoughts of The Life to float around my mind, while enjoying the fact that anything is indeed, possible.

And you?
