IF THERE WAS FRESH CLEAR CLEAN OPEN SPACE FULL OF LIGHT…..

[kaizenParticipant]

Oh, this is lovely, bluesyjay!

I would like to join you in holding this vision for all of us too!

[chaosqueenParticipant]

I have decided to turn it around. I have spent 25 years dreaming of what I would do if…

…now I started doing them..

[bluesyjayParticipant]

yesss!

do you care to share one of them CQ?

that is one of two possible positive “consequences” of wishing, dreaming, hoping, visualising, setting an intention…etc…

being motivated/energised to embody all those “…..” one way or another!

I am still hoping someone will start sharing and posting their wishes, images, hopes, dreams or actual present moments!

I wanted to create a space for it…

[chaosqueenParticipant]

I started learning a new language.

I started drawing.

I spend more time playing with my kids.

I am practicing the piano.

The house might look a little worse, but hey. That could also simply be the stress with wrapping up the school year. I am in a better place…

[bluesyjayParticipant]

I love that

thank you CQ

thank you for sharing

it sounds wonderful

one first thing I would do and intend to do asap is outside in the garden

outside in what I intend to upgrade officially as garden (even though there is no grass, so I am not sure what you would technically call it, there are two round spaces with earth, with a tree in one and a huge Hydrangea in the other, who is not doing very well at the moment, the rest I had paved years ago because it was a mess of humidity and mosquitos, still is)

I envision myself inviting my friends over for a coffee as the first easiest thing

also for a lunch, maybe a little bit later on (I did this only a few years ago, I even had my nieces over to play and it was all so pretty)

for a glass of wine in the early evening

for a dinner

I envision the space being very welcoming, with colourful pillows (I already have them) different kinds of seating areas (I already have all of these, some in the basement room) a wooden lounge chair to read, a very little round bistrot like table with black cast iron like chairs,

it would have a sort of decadent, romantic, south of France countryside vibe to it, in my mind

mixed with in the woods fairy tale, hidden magical space

for example I have a vintage birdcage with some plants spilling out of it, I want to add some other plants in there too

and a couple of other vintage plant holders here and there, that are empty for now

there is a bigger table for eating, again with black heavy cast iron base and marble top and the same chairs, there is un umbrella (in the basement, with the pillows)

I see myself getting finally better at gardening

I have been working on the space under the tree, where it has been hard to have plants grow, because of the shade and the pine needles and acidic soil

but one of my favourites, the cyclamens, love it there, since they love the woods…and some violets (I think) have been coming back

I have now repotted some heucheras there…

I like the plants to be all kind of free and different and varied, not too tidy looking, as if they just grew there out of nowhere, by themselves

as if were a magical wood with fairies…I really would love the fairies to come and live here

I even have a gnome door…

and I will buy a small bird feeder to hang when I am done with the set up as a prize….

I already have a very small drinking space for them (very small because of mosquitoes, no water features here as the English love to do..how on earth do they manage with mosquitoes??)

I have a lot of ideas for the garden, I have just felt so defeated every time in the past….

I really really would love to enjoy the garden NOW

this summer

considering in my climate it will be nice to be in until November starts…

and even after when it is not raining too much…

Thank you- how wonderful!

My dream is a bus or a tiny house, living free of clutter, and traveling to just help people. In any way I can. I love helping people and encouraging others. I love giving. I extreme coupon and havent since 2012. I love getting stuff cheap and giving it away.

I’ll be 50 in a month, and I’m tired of living in my messy room hiding from the world. I love creating and building, and I want a short school bus and to convert it and travel.

I’m gonna make it happen, some how.

After watching my mother’s horrible demise and awful death…how she didn’t chase her dreams of writing and photography and horses, and left this world crying over her 11 cats fates after her death, I REFUSE to sit in this house barely making it, to die that way someday. I want to LIVE! I will make changes. I am.

Welcome to the forum TinyDreamer, so happy to have you Shellie!

I am totally with you on not waiting for things to come, but to do them where you are with what you have right now. Life is too beautiful to be endured!

Thank you for the welcome!!

I busted my butt cleaning, sorting, trashing, and gathering stuff together for donation.

Haven’t slept yet, and it’s 7.30 am here. I listened to sermons by Pastor Steven Furtick, my fave pastor, in the background the whole time. It helped me sooooo much. Love that guy. He totally inspires me and I felt a holy fire burning to get things done.

I love Grey’s Anatomy. The brain surgeon on there does a Super Hero stance for a few minutes before every surgery. So, I thought of that everytime I got discouraged and overwhelmed, and I took deep breaths and did the Super Hero pose. It really helped. She does it so she can go into surgery like a Super Hero, confident, brave and strong.

So, each hand on a hip, feet spread apart a little bit, and 4 deep breaths for the pose, and lots of preaching & Jesus helped me through.

Now, I must get some sleep!

You are Superheroes! Stand strong and brave!!

We got this!!

My hashtag youcantstopme is my mantra daily. It’s a song by my favorite artist, Andy Mineo. That song has gotten me through a zillion things in life!! I shout it at the devil whenever I feel defeated.

So nice to have you here, Shellie! I can feel your optimism and positivity emanating from my screen, and it’s much appreciated!

In the first session with my hypnotherapist, she recommended I watch this TED Talk by Amy Cuddy about power poses, including the “Wonder Woman” pose you described https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ks-_Mh1QhMc” class=”bbcode_url”>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ks-_Mh1QhMc

Thanks for reminding me about the power pose… I’m now going to face a box of papers that I’ve been avoiding

[chaosqueenParticipant]

Love the positivity! I could use some. Until I have it I shall fake it’til I make it, right? :lol:
