Wishcasting Wednesday: What hunger do you wish to feed?
Wishcasting Wednesday beckons once more, asking tempting little questions of the big desires of my heart. Madame Ridler riddles those who would dare to dream with tantalizing teasers and invites us to go inside and see what we might find.
This week she asks…What hunger do you wish to feed? I am digging in deep for this one, friends. Going into the woods where it is dark and scary, but where hope whispers from the mist that rises out of its center to comfort my anxiety.

So these TWIN HUNGERS send me reaching out to the mother of my past and to the child of my future. I don’t image this will be settled anytime soon, but tonight, I claim it. Loud and clear. I AM SEARCHING for my PACK! Continue reading

Wishcasting Wednesday
Let me be the drop of water untouched by the chaotic rustle of leaves on this dancing tree I call civilization. Better yet, let me join the dance but be not forced into the rhythm set out by the wild wind. Continue reading
