Sometimes wishes are like prayers, as is the case with these.

It’s my birthday, and I want to share my wishes with you! 💖💖💖

I don’t believe in the whole “keep your wish secret” thing, at least not for wishes like the ones below. Maybe these are part blessings, part wishes, I don’t know. You decide for yourself.

Let's call in some goddesses to help make these reality. Aho! Blessed be!

Three Wishes

---

1) I wish for health and happiness, for myself, my family, and my friends.

---

Here’s a periodical reminder that self-care is important. May we all take time to care for ourselves so we can better care for each other.

Drink water, eat good food, move your body, stay strong, spend time in nature, get enough sleep… Take care of you!

2) I wish for world peace.

---

Where does peace start? Within each of us.

Om shanti, shanti, shanti.

Peace to your mind, peace to your soul, peace to your body, peace to your heart.

3) I wish to meet more amazing friends this year!

I had so much fun at the meetup in Tennessee I’m already trying to figure out how to get back there to see @enginewitty, @ameliabartlett, @rhondak, @sircork, @lukestokes, @daltono, @anarcho-andrei, and many others. Maybe get to see @mountainjewel along the way!

@enginewitty and me sharing time on the porch swing at the Nashville meetup.

I’d love to get to Atlanta in August to see @steemcafe and @instructor2121. Who else is going?

I think the soonest, most realistic meetup for me might be in Whistler, where I’ll be going to see friends who aren’t on Steemit (yet), and might get a chance to hook up with @crimsonclad. Anyone else in BC? Thinking end of June or sometime in July.

A California trip would be amazing… Get me some @dreemsteem hugs, and get down to see @mariannewest.

I’d also love to get back to my birth state of Colorado to see @eaglespirit and @carrieallen & @chrisroberts. Maybe visit @fishyculture on the way down and soak in some hot springs!

And I hope to meet some of my international family! @saffisara, @topkpop, @zen-art, @hazem91, @crisangel, @meanmommy33, @soyrosa, and so many others. If you get to this side of the world, look me up!

Where do you live? What meetups are you attending this year? 💖

If you could have three wishes, what would they be?

Feel free to answer in the comments, or do up your own #threewishes post!

For me, it was fun to think of wishes that are bigger than myself, something I can share with others, but you do you, always.

Also, I’m gonna count this as one of my #7daypositivitychallenge posts. Thanks, @hazem91 for thinking of me! I’m not great with doing week-long challenges, but here’s at least one entry. ;)

💖 Bright heart love comin’ at’cha! 💖

Peace. @katrina-ariel
