The Vision Board

I just want someone who can accept me...all my faults, my ego, my pride, and my passion.

I choose to create a beautiful lover. A man centered in his own being, who can meet me and receive all that I have to offer and who will still be ready for more.

My vision is to be a popular person. People wanting to sit next to me and wanting to be with me . Does anyone else wish that this would happen to them? I would always pretend that people really loved me.

I choose to have in my life a lover who...

... makes me laugh uncontrollably
... turns me on outrageously
... makes love to me exquisitely
... supports my creativity
... challenges my intellect
... values my freedom and his own
... nourishes my feminine
... desires and goes for growth and intimacy

and is my bestest friend.

NB. I wrote this vision over five years ago. My beloved and I have now been married for four years. See "The Power of Visioning" for the full story. LD

I envision myself a powerful woman--actualized and confident.
I envision my company a nurturing place where women are mentored and supported in coming into their power.
I envision my family a nest of comfort, a shelter in the storm.
I envision my partner happy and comfortable in her own power.
I envision the women who have paved the way for me and my sisters with the knowledge that their labor was not in vain, and know we are grateful.
I envision the girls who will be women after me never knowing limits.
I envision our future as women increasing our power from within.
According to free will, and for the good of all, so mote it be!

My VISION as inspired by the others I have read...
My VISION is for women to stop wishing for others to validate them and to make them whole.
My VISION is for women to realize their individual strength and beauty, without and within, and to trust in their womanhood, as an individual woman, not as a partner, a friend, a lover, a sister or mother BUT AS THEMSELVES ALONE
My VISION is for women to happy with what they have to offer and to know they have the right to withold as well as to give...That they are not always seeking outside of themselves for peace.
My VISION is for women to have a STRONG PRIDE and FAITH in their womanhood, in their personhood, and to stick together for the sake of all humanity, all life.
1.2.96

I enVISION a world where the mother-GODDESS is fully alive. Where the GODDESS no longer has to hide from the warring patriarchy. Where every WOMAN (and every MAN) will know the GODDESS within, the feminine within, the peace within, the love within. There's so much need for it in our world - and it is really only a step away...if we'd only pay attention and listen to our hearts.

THE GODDESS IS ALIVE AND MAGIC IS AFOOT!

Blessed Be, Beautiful Sisters!

24.4.96.

I live in a very beautiful and very safe place. I am loved by a wonderful woman. She has been through some kind of terrible fire, and she has the wisdom to know and to see what is really important. She loves me and accepts who I am. She understands disability. She loves me and nurtures me and shelters me with her love. And I love her without reservation. And together we have a circle of strong, trustworthy, healthy friends whom I know I can count on. I am sheltered. Sheltered. Sheltered. Sheltered. Sheltered. Sheltered.

I want a baby! A beautiful, tender, healthy and lovely baby, created by God. I want to touch the hands of God as I did when my son was born. It has been eight years and I want it again! I want to see the face of my baby, to feel my baby grow in and come out of my body. I want to nurse the baby with my body, to feel her, or his, hands, toes, nose, back, feet. I want to watch my baby smile, grow, learn to laugh, say I love you. I want to nurture. I want to give love.
I want to heal. I want to release the blocks that block the way of that love, that keep the eggs from reaching my womb. They can go. It is time for them to go now. Thank you blocks for protecting me from pain, or trying to, if that is what you have done. I want to be ready to love, to give love to the baby that will be my child. I want to mother that little child and watch her, or him, grow. And be alive. A dream made real, made flesh, made life.
Thank you

17.5.96

am a strong woman of 23 years. I have this need.....desire....to bear a child. I want to feel her/him growing in my belly....I want to feel my breasts swell.....I want to feel life being created.....I want to see a new life come into this world....
BUT I do NOT want a man to be a hanger on in my life. I want him to "do his deed" and move on never to file claim against the child.....or me for that matter. I do not know how to find such a man. (I do not want to be artifically inseminated). Many men will "volunteer", but they are only looking for a quick fuck.
Any of you who have felt this way....or perhaps who have done the same....please share your thoughts with me.....
thankfully yours, Babs

My vision is to look the way I want without people calling me a freak.

Peggy

I want to stop making stupid decisions and stupid excuses. I want to hold my head up and have respect. I want people to stop treating me like I'm stupid. I want freedom. Now. I envision a world when this will happen. Can't we all get along? All religions, all races, etc. I see myself doing one thing at a time, one little thing each day to make this happen, and so does everybody else. Soon, the days of hate, poverty, war are gone.

I see an old woman with long gray braided hair sitting in an old rocking chair on the front porch of a wooden house up on a hill. She is looking out towards a lush valley. She begins singing and as she sings webs flow from her lips. She sings all night,I see the stars and moon in the clear sky. She sings and sings until dawn. The valley is covered with glistening, gossamer webs and she is at peace in the rocking chair.

Lynn

Mother, I vision myself in a situation where my talents and abilities are being used in my daily interactions in a creative work environment.
Kerin

To become a writer for fantasy fiction.

Also to be a stronger woman. A person of deep thoughts. A person of knowledge. A person of wisdom. Allow myself to open up to knowledge, yet retain the innocence. To be unwavering in my beliefs yet willing to listen to new ideas. I want to become a women intune with nature and her inner self. To build up my inner defenses, yet know when to lower them for intimacy with others. To be able to connect the highermind and open myself to the unknown.
April

I would love to become a fiction writer. This has been a dream of mine for many years now. The only problem is that I am very shy . In order to write a story you need to talk to people. I would love to be out going and self confident so that one day I will be able to talk freely and with ease to every one.

thin,self confident,energetic, rich,healthy,vibrant,loving,understanding

I see the land, moist and dark with tall trees...
Those Before gently enfolded in the rich loam of Mother,
the monuments we have placed to their memory:
a stone cairn, or carvings, a circle of trees
or a rose bramble, a mask hanging on a staff,
a seeded pattern in a small meadow,
an earthen mound or stones upstanding,
a chair or a bed placed so you or I
might quietly, conveniently,
reverently, joyfully or tearfully
bespeak the dead.
I see a place where both sides of the veil
may visit safely, happily the other,
and beauty, peace and contemplation
may be all about and in us all;
where children play with Grandma in the wind
and friends dance a happy circle greeting, and
lovers may embrace the tree their beloved has become.
I see a sacred place, where each of us will one day
return to our Mother's womb, to await the next adventure;
a place still friendly to those who come to say hello.

My dream is to make a low- or non-profit cemetery where we may return to the Mother in the manner we wish, and our friends and beloved may make such remembrances of us at that site as they wish. With harm to none...

A world where my political leaders do not talk of getting women back into the home as a desirable thing.

A world where contract employment does not threaten equal pay.

I see a me who is totally balanced in my feminine and masculine energies, aware and grateful in my every move, focused in my direction, light in my head, open in my mind, positive in my attitude, loving in my thoughts, gentle in my touch, thoughtful in my actions, compassionate in my ways, empowered in my being, smiling in my eyes, joyful in my step, and here to humbly serve.

Great Goddess;
give me the strength to see out the thought and feelings that I know to be true in my heart! Give me the strength to insure the clarity is true and the truth is seen with clarity! Give me the patience to ensure this understanding!

thank you Goddess
so mote it be!

Bob McKenzie-Canada,
Before I pass on, I would like to see myself and four hundred and ninety nine other people (my choice on who) populate Venus. I'd create vegetation able to survive in the current atmosphere so it could convert all the CO2 into Oxygen, then we'd pack up and head out. Aaah! To be isolated with 499 of my favorite people on Earth, but without the pollution, crime, bitchers, corruption, and other crap available on our current world, I cannot concieve a more desirable situation. We'd play sports all one day, farm all another (for food), create really good t.v. shows and movies, and live in a (pardon my clichÈ fantasy) Utopian world, where only good happens and there is an incredible amount of tolerence and the air is clean and everythin is just peachy. That is my vision and if you don't like it, don't get in line to be interviewed for the 499th spot on the shuttle to happiness.

jo - Canada SISTERHOOD an end to the infighting that serves the purposes of only the one's who have the power already I envision a world where I can accept what other wimmin tell me know that it is true know that it serves the good of all I envision speaking to wimmin without needing to justify my existence I envision SISTERHOOD

Vivian -England

Martha -USA
I have a vision of a world where women will be safe. Where they won't be raped or beaten. Where they will be valued equally from birth onward. Where the dying rooms cannot exist anymore. Where clitoridectomies can't happen. Where little girls can grow up to be whatever they want to be. Where children won't be abused. Where the elderly will be revered for their wisdom. Where everyone will have a home and access to health care. I have a vision

Jackie-USA
My vision has four parts:
A career that encourages
my creativity, that allows
me to connect fully with
many others, that gives
me a space to nurture and
mentor the best in all.

A home that is simple and
sound and beautiful, with a
porch swing, a garden, a dog
named Gus,lots of light,and the
warmth of wood. It will serve
as a haven for those I love.
A man who has done his soul
work, who is playful, strong,
kind, bright, funny, warm,
commited to me, passionate
about life.
Continuing personal growth
through travel, my painting,
storytelling, friends, work,
giving of myself to others,
connecting with my friends.

Rick-USA
My vision is of me teaching in my own history class. My vision is of me for once not being judged by my physical disabilities but by my mental abilities. My vision is of one who shares my life with me and my visions too. My vision is not of being rich only of being happy.

Debbie-United States
In all the visions I have read on this sight only one thing came to my mind.....visions are what have created our world today. Someone had a vision and put it to work while the rest of us passively stood by. Our visions of peace,love and harmony have been too passive. It has only been a dream for everyone to behold! It is also our reality ....if we choose to become active. We out number the powerful visions of the greedy and unloving. My vision is to unite as a whole in love and passion and bring the world back to our original God creation.

Alicia-USA
I wish I had the nerve to be myself and just relax and enjoy my life. I want to be free to scream if I want to or just sit back and be silent. I want to be able to enjoy the sunshine and love myself even if I'm not perfect.

Everything I need is coming to me easily and effortlessly. I live in an abundant, prosperous, lush world. I paint, I write, I garden. I am creativity and Love and contentment. Peace and joy are my constant companions and I am fulfilled in every way, as are my friends and family. I am able to share and give freely-- the more I have the more I can share and offer to this world. I can dance, I can laugh-- I am emotion, I am beauty and I am compassion. My poetry is the essence and my painting is the substance...lightness and trust are the path in my garden where hope flourishes for everyone who enters. I have all the resources I need to create the life I want.

I want a woman who accepts me as I am, who appreciates my creativity, who rewards my loyalty, who appreciates my honesty, and treats me the way I treat her. I want someone who shares of vision of spreading love and laughter while we're on this planet, someone who gives without taking and who receives my love with grace and courtesy. I want a woman who sees who I am and doesn't judge me based on their own selfish motives, but rather on how they can meet me half way in a relationship without complaint. I want someone who is loyal, honest, who is passionate, and has dreams that I can share and support. I want to make breakfast for her in the morning and wake her up with kisses on the back of her neck. I want to love and be loved. Why is this so hard to find?

I want to embody the yoni spirit
In all my heart and soul.
To listen to the spirit guide
Who shows me who I am
Beyond words
Beyond visions
In that hidden place
Where we define our essence
And through which we are led to discover
The feminine principle
In each big and little thing we do each day.
For that, I apologize to no one,
And neither should you, girl.

I see myself, in the desert of New Mexico. I am currently deeply in love with my husband. We have a beautiful healthy child who startles us with their intelligence. I am running a center for self-acceptance though the explorations of coming-of- workshops and retreats. I am much more at peace, we have enough security feel safe. I feel centered and like I have found my place in life. I am thoroughly involved in my center, where people come to accept themselves and empower themselves--in a way I had to find myself. People breath sighs of relief when they enter, and feel that there is hope and that they are beautiful, and their body can be their teacher!! And in the evening, my family and I watch the desert sunset, and cook an outrageaously delicous meal.

To let my true self emerge. To share my wonder, creativity, uniqueness, humor, love and warmth....without holding back, without embarassment. To just be and have others know me for who I am. To find my voice, always. To express my self and be loved as myself. To fully be the woman I know is insided of me.

I see respect for living things, and the choice to choose life or not.
I see children growing without conforming to cruel ideals of beauty, set free by love of the inner self.
I see a world where we give back some of what we take from the Earth.
I see people respecting each others choices in life, not destroying each others dreams.
I see freedom from religion, but a growth of true spirituality,
I see a hut in the country where I can grow my vegetables and my herb garden, where I will live with my beloved and children, if we wish them.
I see time for the soul, time to reflect and mull over one's thoughts,
I see time for the Dark Goddess as well as the Maid and mother,
I see cats purring happily as we sit on the back step and watch the Earth change from dark to light.
I see my beloved coming home and gathering me into his arms,
I love you, mae 'ngariad ,mae fenws, says he.

Just an easy, practical and simple vision that would save you money - nothing like stopping all hunger in the world or replant the rainforests (that would be great but a wee bit difficult). My vision/wish would be to abolish VAT or any type of tax on the so called *femenine hygiene* products - this tax would never have existed if men menstruated (ooops! that's one for the bitching section...). Plus my bigger vision: the usual respect for all types of people, openness about communication, love and care for the Mother Gaia, and have tons of fun! NO CENSORSHIP - BE WILD Blessed be the women and their men, children and cats! xx

To be in a heavenly beautiful space where there was no time or outside influence, but a place of total supreme love and power. It would be of ultimate giving and pleasure a very sexual place and you could feel every emotion possible to the senses.It would be a place of more than one spirit there would be many spirits and you could see the most awesome things there and when you were there that would be all there was, Not many could go there but only the chosen few, and together a new love and higher power could be shared and expressed among the group.

I feel very secure in my relationship. I feel taken care of and happy and I know I'm loved. I can ask for my needs and they get met. any issues of hers that are problems for me -- I can handle easily without feeling insecure -- or she'll change 'em. My career continues to grow -- and at a faster rate. My bank account grows. I have a good relationship with my ex(s) and my best friend and I create a larger circle of friends -- who are supportive. I give freely to the world --- and I know when toi sop giving. I enrich the world.

We touch the earth with gentleness, humans are rooted yet free we share in the beauty of life. Plant medicine is strong because we are one with the planet. The dancer in each of us is acknowledged so that we stand like precious jewels of different hues reflecting the light in our own way, our patterns paint pictures which everdeepen. We can touch each other with our eyes, with our hearts and with our fingers. We know the softness of the moths touch and the muscular strength of the tiger. There is space in the world for dreaming, there is time for peace and remembering, there is energy for musicmaking and fun. All my relations. Ho.

to simply feel........ whole.........again and to not judge others and feel that even if others are judging me - that it does not reflect on me personally and probably has no relevance or meaning except for their own ill feelings and jealosy and to be able to let go of it....... just let it go....... do not let it play on my ever lasting quilt that somehow did not emerge until I was eighteen..... I was some how turned upside down and inside out ...... what I should have now I had in my teens ...... wisdom, love, unconditional and non-judgemental......... where did you go my friend - myself ......... If i could only find that child within me again ........Oh and one other small vision to find the mate that matches that childs wisdom and strengths and power of love..... not too much to wish for ...... to see it happen ......... I'd be satisfied with truelly loving and accepting myself again Lizard aka Shaktea 7/10/97

I will be beautiful, gracious, kind. I will be the sort of teacher that my students remember fondly, someone from whom a positive comment or a compliment can give wings to the heart of a girl who is told over and over that she isn't supposed to think for her self. I will be a respected scholar, the sort whose understanding--rather than knowledge-- embraces many different areas. My writing must be full of wit and grace, and deeply moving, the sort that can be read and appreciated by other researchers and people on the subway. I will be the kind of colleague that others come to for suggestions, or for soundings. I will be a good lover to my husband, the only companion he'll ever need or want, someone whom he can't wait to see at the end of the day. I will not be angry at people who have tried to stunt my growth along the way; I want to be kind to them, but to let them know that I don't care what they think. I want to have a daughter. She will grow up believing that she is beautiful, and brilliant, and good, and extraordinary, and capable of doing anything she wants, and that it would be a joy beyond measure for me to see her go where I was not able to. I will be the sort of person who makes the people around her feel serene, happy, accepted without quite knowing why.

I SEE MYSELF SITTING IN A NICE ROOM, IN NICE CLOTHES, WITH A NICE PERSON, BUT THOSE ARE JUST MINOR DETAILS, THE MOST AMAZING PART IS THE LOOK ON MY FACE, I AM SMILING, NOT JUST YOUR ORDINARY "OK I'LL LOOK HAPPY " SMILE, BUT AN HONEST TO GOODNESS GENUINE SMILE, AND MY EYES ARE LAUGHING, AND MY FACE AND BODY JUST RADIATE WARMTH, CHARM, AND MOST OF ALL HAPPINESS, BUT THE BEST PART IS THAT I AM NOT ALONE, THERE IS SOMEONE THERE WITH ME AND SHE IS HAPPY TOO!!!!!

And may I not be ashamed of what I wish for May my goals be ones that bring me pleasure and happiness My successes the same. May my being generate love to all those I meet That the world will be a brighter place before I leave it. May those who love me and whom I love Not hold a moment of darkness for me nor I for them. May our hearts be open to the truth of each other That we may fully know who it is we are And that we may know all is good.

My vision is one that has taken me a long long time to envision...My vision is that one day I will be completely healed from child abuse. I will be able to know who I am and have some understanding for the purpose of my life. That I will have healthy loving relationships with my children, husband, friends and family. That I can walk on this earth with the confidence and security that the lord up above bestowed on every living creature he created... My 2nd greatest vision is one that incorporates the people that live under Gods eyes...That we all will wake up and end child abuse. Don't let the little children suffer at the hands of people who hurt them. If you suspect a child is being hurt or abused. DO SOMETHING, anything to help stop the cycle of abuse. Report the perps. Tthank you!!!

I have a vision of myself as a successful illustrative artist and mother. I work in my studio during the hours that my children are at school. When they arrive home I have the time and energy to really be with them and to guide them into becoming themselves. I can be home for them because I have a reputation as a brilliant artist. I am asked to produce paintings for book covers, magazines and other clients and I am very well paid for my work. I have gained my independance and created a financially secure home for my children and myself. We are free to travel and explore the world together in our time off. I enjoy my work so much that it is more like play than work. This is my vision...so it is...and so it shall be!

I just want to be happy. I want a comfortable life. I want to travel a little bit. I want a man who wants this too. I want him to want every part of me, one who will listen to me when I need to talk. One who cares what I think. One who does not do drugs or smokes cigarettes, for I want him to be healthy--to be there for me. I want love and passion and respect and trust. Money is not as important as these things. I want total spiritual contact with him. I want to make love to him in a spiritual way. I want to connect completely, to bond. When I have this, I want to have a child with him. Until I find him, I guess I still wait

the nearly neon mellon tips
from the yellow and still green depths
standing screaming

it is seeing them where they are
finding the strength and clarity of purpose within yourself
to search out the goddess in life

I choose to create, with my beloved, a beautiful garden of Eden in Dingo Valley. A luscious food-forest, a permaculture haven growing many many varieties of delicious abundant organic fruit,veggies, nuts and grains to feed and support our extended family. A beautiful model of sustainable agriculture it will include bushfood plantations, regenerated rainforest areas, cabinet timber and organic free range poultry and other farm animals. We generate our own power, and live in abundant self-sufficiency also offering well needed commodities to our neighbours, thus supporting a healthy and prosperous barter system throughout the area. I ask that the core of our vision be in place within two years and that it grows at a pace that astounds and delights us. I ask that my beloved and I are priviledged to enjoy the fruits of our visioning, together, in harmony and happiness for many many years and that we may ultimately leave Dingo Valley as a wonderful legacy for our children and their children.

As that person who is not afraid of being powerful, loving, earthshaking, no longer fearing that she may let herself down. I see myself no longer fearful of not being able to live up to my true self's rights to happiness, success, wealth and love. I see myself as being loved, as being able to change the world and people for the better by contact, by communication and communion. I envision myself being able to utterly destroy hate, to negate fear, to dissolve uncertainty in everyone she befriends. I see myself as truly being one with the moment and with myself.

My vision is pretty simple. you see I'm only 18 but I really have a strong desire to see the youth of america come to the full knowdledge og God. My vision is to get an army of youth (when I say army I'm refering to our group slogan/name) Lord's Army Soilders and I desire to form bands, rappers, drama, street ministry, prision ministry. Jeff Fenholt said that the youth will Evangalize themselves and that's exactly what is going to happen. so basiclly my vision is to get involved in the full time ministry strictly dealing with the youth and prepare the youth of America for battle and give them strategy and allowy them to reach out to their peers. So what I'm saying is to open a doorway for the youth of America to fufil their vision and make their dream a reality. I'm on a journey of Faith and I will reach my destination. And my vision is a reality because I'm a winner and a winner looks at what he's going to not what hes going through

My vision is that someday I will find my true self and true calling. That I can live my life free from the fear that someone else will try to take it from me. That no one need use religion, or race, or sex, or sexual orientation, or nationality, or ideology as an excuse to fear and hate. That people will see it's just as OK to be a bisexual (and married) vegetarian pagan as it is to be anything else: "an it harm none, do what ye will."

KaliMa has led me to work with women. I want to move ahead in my work with women and their children. KaliMa has led me to help women to heal. I want to reach more people. I want to create and grow a television show and a nationally-broadcast radio show to speak to all who care to listen for the good of women, and their children, and their men. KaliMa has led me to the pain-filled inner recesses of my psyche. It is time to make sense and make use of what I know. I want to fulfill the prophecies and promises of my childhood. I believe I can continue to lead people to important understandings. I want us to heal.

to take my dreams by the hand and
walk into their manifestation:
to write my first book
to publish my first chapbook of poetry
to have my first sculpture show
by the time i move to the city next year
and by doing this, to voice my truths as a woman
who has come into her own identity, her own
Goddess divinity, her own survival, her own
sexuality, and to encourage other women to do
the same.
to be a good mom

i want to be able to support myself with my writing....that means i have to finish the things i start and not get side-tracked.As for the side-tracked, I know i don't need a man for validation but i can't shake the desire for one...the trouble is i attract and am attracted to men who run away or don't understand why i don't get a real job. so to feel completer....i want a man who wants me for who i am and what i am and is not afraid of my witchy side (doesn't think it doesn't exist either). A man who won't let me fall in love with him and then run off cause he just can't handle me. I don't want to feel like there is something wrong with me anymore.....i'm tired of feeling empty inside

My vision is to attain through spiritual growth and life's experiences patience, wisdom, love, trust and compassion and through these experiences I will gain serenity, heart friends and abundance. My goals are to help restore a sense of the sacred to the world (along with the like-minded) and hence value to our lives and commuinites, to plants and animals and therefore our planet. Through this we regan the power to shape our lives and our reality. Blessed be. Meriel

I will emerge into my true and full self. I will throw off the shackles of selfimposed limitations. I will be surrounded by stimulating people to whom I will contribute to as much as they to me. My life will expand into all the areas which will nourish my soul. I will feel secure and stable and my environment will reflect my inner harmony. My creativity will continue to flourish as I create the sculpture which not only feeds my soul but those around me. My relationship with my family will move up into a higher octave to become richer and more fulfilling than I ever dreamed possible. I will find my true home where I will be truly all that I am. I will live my life fruitfully and with purpose.

I Am Healthy now. I don't need my weight anymore. I see myself at a weight of 175 pounds by Easter 1999. I am achieving that weight healthily. My Friend Free is prosperous and abundant. Money is flowing into his life now. I see him with 175,000 dollars in the bank with all debts paid by Easter 1999. Healthy and Wealthy we are.

My vision is to love myself unconditionally. To know the Goddess that lives within me and to honor her perpetually. To live in a place of beauty surrounded by Nature and all her glory. To have a circle of friends who explore, love and create with reckless abandon. To surrender to the deep love my husband has for me. To allow others to love me as i learn to love and cherish myself. To earn a tremendous abundance of money merely by creating beauty. To have horses again and apply kindness to their training. To give the gift of love to the elderly and the unwanted young. My vision is mainly about peace for myself and for all the inhabitants of the earth.

That I make it to his side quickly, that the hurdles that present themselves are overcome by my beseeching Gaia and Cernnunos! That once I am there I will not have to leave his side unless its the coroner that takes me away!!! That all my sisters everywhere find the man who is thier other half, and hope for our species reigns once again! BLESSED BE!!!

I envision myself gathering the self-esteem I had misplaced at age 10 and instilling it in my daughters -- never to see it lost again.

My vision is to receive $50,000 from the Universe. With this money I shall create a beautiful living space for my pet rabbits and abandoned rabbits (bought at Easter) from Pet Mills. With this money I shall advertise my tarot business and buy First Rate computer equipment, a fax & copy machine. With this money I shall have a new start and shall have Freedom.

I have a vision of marrying the man that I am currently in love with because my spirit sees this particular soul as my soulmate. I dream that together we create a beautiful loving relationship, a family, and art which brings healing to the community. I dream that we are happy, at peace, and realize our higher good in the will of the Great Spirit. With LOVE, thank you. Wenona

I choose to love you, to learn from you and to laugh with you.

I choose to be honest with you and to support you to live and speak your truth.

To be happy.... To find someone who is my complete other half... To dominate the media outlets so I could portray realistic images and ideals... Sexual freedom... To exceed my own expectations instead of latching onto someone else's expectations of me... To have concrete goals.... To be a size three again... To passionately care about myself again...

in my vision, all those who have a vision for the good in their lives [whether posted here or not] comes true. for me: my vision is for all the wonderful, powerful, positive things tht the goddess has instilled in me to have that come forth NOW. let my strength,in all areas of my life increase for my good and for the good of those who may have need of my skills. let prosperity abound in my life so tht i may take care of those that i know and love; and so that i can be a positive ray and guide for those who need to know that there IS HOPE. let my creativity abound and be prosperous, let me reap the rewards of my positive ideas and recieve what is just, instead of being ripped off, and remaining in a state of lack. in matters of love, let the man come forth tht will love me AND my children as we are, and let him be a man of substance in the areas of spirituality, sexuality, wisdom, emotionality, and finances and all things good tht i may not have mentioned. for once i need someone to be there for me [us]. let him come forth tht i can listen to, laugh with, share with and care for, and let him be able to share the same with me. in matters for health, let the things i need and desire for our health come forth in our lives; the longed for exercise plans, programs, and machines! LoL!!! let us use technology and health knowledge to our benefit and then help to inspire others to their ideal. in matters of my children i ask they always be prosperous and healthy and protected. most of what i ask for in this vision is for love of them and to be able to care for them and help their good dreams come true. for the world my vision is that prejudices of all kinds would be done away with, and tht we all could see each other as the ray of light and love that the god/dess intended us to be, and respect each other. and that those who would violate the code of the good for all would come to see the detriment of their ways and not commit them anymore. i pray for the strength to stand and appreciate all the good tht shall come upon me for myself and the benefit of others tht i may be able to help. as i will it, so mote it be.

I want to have love and peace enter my life. I want to find honest and loving friends who value me as I should value myself. I want to find a man who loves me. I just want peace, love and knowledge and to successfully pass everything at UNI so I can get my degree, become a psychologist and help others so I can tip some of the water in the well of pain out.
