Make a wish.

Posted on March 25th, 2008 by On a Limb w/ Claudia

My Czech-girl-transplanted-to-Ohio blogging buddy, Ivanhoe, tagged me with the Make a Wish meme last week.

I haven’t done it.

Why?

Because every Make a Wish has some save the world message. And sure, I want that.

But my heart is full to the brim with another desire, a life long fondest wish, and what I want more than anything. I feel selfish because that desire is about me, for me, for my life.

I don’t lie. I just don’t do it. Embarrassed, I’ve ignored the meme and hoped it would go away.

And it didn’t.

So, here it is. Here’s my heart’s deepest longing:

Claudia’s Make a Wish

1. Think about what it is that you want more than anything, what your heart’s desire and fondest wish is, and what it is that you would wish for if you were to see the above wishing star flame across the night sky.
2. Right click and SAVE the blank graphic below.
3. Use a graphics program of your choice and place your wish on this picture:

Make a wish

4. Post the Make A Wish Meme and your wishing star on your blog along with these rules.
5. Tag as many people as you like so that there can be wishing stars all across the Blogosphere and ask them to please link back to Linda at Are We There Yet? so that she can see what wishes others have made and share those wishes with others.

If you don’t currently have a graphics program and aren’t sure how to put your message on the picture you can either download one for free (Linda used IrfanView which is an image viewer but also allows you to customize and optimize your pictures) or email Linda at mouseski58@yahoo.com, tell her what you’re wishing for, and she’ll customize the picture for you and email it back to you so that you can then post it.

Ivanhoe tagged:(She tagged: Kat’s Krackerbox,It’s a Shih-Tzu’s Life, Brassy Apple, Conversations with my hairdryer, Pensieve, Quirky is a Compliment,Bleeding Espresso,Forever Daisies, Life through a Lens, My LA Blog, Viva Voce, I’m just Ducky Now!, Fully Alive…Ready to Smile, The Miss Elaine-ous Life, and
Sugar and Spice & little rice.)

I tag a few people who could use a wish: FuriousBall, Los Angelista, She became a butterfly, No Nonsense Girl, Mr. Fabulous, Miss Britt, Jameil, Heart in SF, Kevin Charnas, Squirrelly, Michelle at Lede me on and Michael C.

    That is an amazing wish.

  2. odat, on March 25th, 2008 at 7:02 am Said:

    I wish that for you too!

    Peace

    You can be sure I will be buying your novels. =o)

  4. Michael C, on March 25th, 2008 at 7:18 am Said:

    That is a great goal. I am wishing your wish comes true!!

  5. rileyberry, on March 25th, 2008 at 7:58 am Said:

    I don’t think it’s a selfish wish. Saying it makes it real. Remember what you’re always telling me - What you focus on becomes real.

  6. furiousball, on March 25th, 2008 at 8:39 am Said:

    I’ll do my best to keep the unlimited BJ’s from Brazillian models wish out of mine.

  7. Open Grove Claudia, on March 25th, 2008 at 9:03 am Said:

    HRH - Yes - wish big!

    Odat - From your wish to… erm… God’s ears?

    Christy - Oh cool! Thanks!

    Michael C. - I’m looking forward to seeing yours!

    Rileyberry - Yes, yes. The longing and wish is indeed real - that’s for sure!

    FuriousBall - Ah hell, it’s your wish. I’m just never sure what the appeal of the Brazillian model is…. but that’s just me.

    Claudia, I don’t believe having a dream for yourself is selfish at all. If we didn’t have our own strong dreams, wishes, desires, or aspirations we would never affect the world. I think it is our duty to do so :)

    I hope your wish comes true.

  9. jameil, on March 25th, 2008 at 9:09 am Said:

    hmmmm…. i don’t even know where to take that but thanks for including me!! yay!!

  10. Jill, on March 25th, 2008 at 9:23 am Said:

    That’s not selfish! I would hope that every person has a dream. I’ll make a wish right now and hope that it will come true for you!!

  11. tommie, on March 25th, 2008 at 11:11 am Said:

    May your wish come true!

  12. storyteller, on March 25th, 2008 at 3:06 pm Said:

    I love your wish and hope it comes true!!!
    Ivanhoe tagged me too … and I did it twice … though I used ‘Irish Blessings’ for my wishes because they seemed a ‘practical’ way to accomplish ‘Peace On Earth’ … ;–)

    I left my 1st wish at Sacred Ruminations last Saturday and the 2nd at Small Reflections Monday.
    Hugs and blessings,

  13. Claudia, on March 25th, 2008 at 3:26 pm Said:

    Vixen said it well-not selfish at all! Let your light shine Claudia!! May your wish come true!

  14. Josie, on March 25th, 2008 at 7:43 pm Said:

    I am almost afraid to make wishes. None of my wishes ever come true. They never have.

    “If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.”

    I hope you get your wishes. :-)

  15. Open Grove Claudia, on March 26th, 2008 at 8:22 am Said:

    Vixen - Your encouragement is precious to me.

    Jameil - Good luck with it!

    Jill - Hurray for wishes.

    Tommie - I appreciate your well wishes!

    Storyteller - Hey good for you! I was thinking about doing on at Everyday Kindness too! You inspire!

    Claudia - I’m working on it.

    Josie - I’m sorry that’s your experience - That sounds really hard.

    I’m sure it will happen.

    My wish, once I get past the things I can’t do anything about, is to publish ONE book this year.

  17. Ivanhoe, on March 27th, 2008 at 5:22 am Said:

    Oh Claudia, what a great wish! I am crossing my fingers for you and hope that I can read it one day.
    Thanks for participating and have a great TT!

  18. Kevin Charnas, on April 5th, 2008 at 7:19 am Said:

    I’m sending you some great bright thoughts, my friend, for your wish to come true!

    I truly wish that for you.

    And pour moi?

    I must contemplate this… and as always, thank you for thinking of me. :)
