Wishes

Rose Bush Goal Map

It is easier for me to create my wish list writing heart to hand on paper and then transfer it to the computer.. I collect wishes as they come to me through out the day. The important thing is to make your own wish list in what ever way works best for you! If you begin to collect wishes, your mind will open up to new possibilities! Adding them to a goal list or map that you can post as a reminder will make it more likely that you will complete your goals. Have fun!

Yeats ago, one of my wishes was to have better wishes! Practice makes perfect! Since then

I've traveled to India and visited the Taj Mahal on Valentime's Day, 

In Tuscany we had the most divine garlic rosemary roasted potatoes at sunset along Lake Garda.
Teken a boat ride to Sirmione and visited St. Anne's Church, Lago de Garda.
