What do you wish to jump into?
It’s interesting that Jamie’s picture is her jumping in a puddle in the rain. It’s raining in Fort Collins today, drizzly and dark and depressing. This is what the wishing landscape looks like here today:
It’s the kind of day when a soft puff of breath isn’t going to do it. Those wishes aren’t coming off, aren’t being made without a little energy and force. There will be work involved with this wishing.
How interesting, considering the clearest, strongest, loudest answer I have for this prompt, “What do you wish to jump into?” is that I wish to jump into writing my book.
And then, what comes right after reinforces the realization I’m having that I am a Jill of All Trades. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking that your dream, your passion, your calling, has to be just one thing, and I was okay with that, since being a writer was my dream and it felt so huge, big enough to fill a whole life. But, what I am beginning to understand is my dream involves more than just that, even as central as the writing is to the rest. It includes yoga, meditation, coaching, therapy, art, mindfulness, teaching, mentoring, hiking, running, music, blogging, web design, dogs, relationships, vulnerability, bravery, silliness, curiosity, eating healthy, self-care, self-love, etc.
And yet I can distill the whole thing down into a single calling: helping people remember, rediscover, be mindful of and manifest their basic goodness. I wish to jump into that. Plunge, dive, leap, vault, cannonball, belly flop, jump into that.

Beautiful wish and fabulous way to contribute brightness to the world, even on gloomy days.
As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you as well.
Lovely wish! I absolutely love the last paragraph about helping people to remember…As you wish for yourself, I wish for you also.
Your posts are always so wonderful to read Jill. You can do it all, yes! You will let us know when your book is published, right? You already have 1 buyer. 🙂
As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you as well.
I will send you an autographed copy, Lindsay!
A beautiful picture and an awesome wish. I’ve written & self-published 3, so know that it takes a lot of work and dedication. As you wish for yourself, so I also wish for you.
Such heartfelt wishing… love this! ((hugs))
As you wish for yourself, I wish for you as well.
Sending “SUNNY DAYS” your way!! :]
As you so wish for yourself, I wish for you also.
Jill, as you wish for yourself, so I wish for you also.
It does seem as though what you wish for you are already living out, so with thanks I acknowledge how you have helped me, rediscover, be mindful of and manifest my basic goodness. And selfishly, please don’t stop.
That’s so great! Remembering how precious you are, that you are already wise and compassionate and strong, just as you are, is the ground of everything else.
Really thoughtful wish… to help people remember. As Jill wishes for herself, so I wish for her also.
Hello Jill! This was such a lovely post! I am so glad I found this group of amazing women. I am a book nut! I love to read and currently I am reading four books. So….I look forward to yours and getting to read it. A great wish I must say! As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you also ❤
Reading multiple books at a time was a bad habit I picked up in graduate school. The worst part is when I find a book six months later that I forgot I was reading, and I have to start over. Welcome to wishcasting!
beautiful wish and as you wish I too wish with you.
Hi Jill,
What a nice wish. Your writing is nourished from so many illuminating sources. You can just radiate with all of this knowledge and experience and help people grow.
Thanks for your comment on my blog.
I send you sunshine from Bordeaux.
As you wish for yourself, I wish for you too.
