What is your heart's wish?

It’s Wishcast Wednesday (on Thursday for me) and this week Jamie Ridler asks us to ponder the question, “What is your heart’s wish?”

This wish comes from that quiet spot, that place that is uniquely your own, private and, I believe, eternal. What does your heart wish for? What will feed your soul?

"I'm very much a believer in knowing what it is that you love doing so you can do a great deal of it."
— Nora Ephron

I love the above quote from Nora Ephron, but the catch comes in knowing just what it is you love to do! Why is that so difficult for us? I think the sage advice to clear away whatever it is that you don’t need—the physical, mental, and emotional baggage and listen to that little voice inside you is often intellectualized and not realized. I stand before you guilty as charged! That voice used to come to me as a whisper and now I hear the vibrations of a gong! I’m getting older; the time is now.

My heart’s wish is to build a quiet life for myself. I want to paint large pictures and bind handmade journals. My heart’s wish is what I offer with love will be received in kind.

  1. A quiet life is bliss. I work toward that myself. Wishing you many more beautiful paintings and handbound journals as you send them out into a receptive world. Your work is beautiful! As you wish for yourself, I wish for you also. ~diana :)
