I want a life that supports itself financially with the most freedom possible. I want freedom and security. I want abundant financial autonomy. I want to travel, experiment and see beautiful things as I go. I want to swim in the Caribbean, in the South Pacific (again), in the Red Sea and in the Mediterranean. I want to go to Africa on one of those awesome safaris and the place where they raise lion cubs, to the Grand Canyon, to the Amazon and Fernando de Noronha. I want to fly in a balloon. I want to make peace with my hometown and have a reason to go there often. I want my own place in at least two cities in the world. I want a jewelry studio in my house. I want to make the most beautiful jewelry that there is. I want to live in abundance and freedom. I want an apology (from *). I want to be able to forgive (*). I want to meet my idols: Eric Clapton, Robert Redford, The Rolling Stones, BB King. I want to acquire musicianship. I want my good health, that thankfully has been awesome thus far, to follow me for all my life. I want to make peace with my sister and be around her when we grow old. I want to be forgiven. I want to erase the wrong impressions I might have caused (I know I did). I want my mother to learn things from me. I want to find someone with thorough compatibility. I want a family for when I grow old - with existing members of my own family and other friends I make. I want to host a big Christmas party in a beautiful house of my own, with everyone I invite. I want to go to New Zealand to see my cousin and have an awesome time with them. I want to go to Bariloche to see my best friend’s wedding. I want to go to Europe. I want to meet new, fun and responsible people.

I want sales and subsidiaries of my novel to provide all the money that my wife and I need to live comfortably without need of any further source of income other than my writing novels, to be able to write full time on what I am drawn to, to study the subjects of the spirit that call to us, to become aware of all that I am, and to share what I learn and accumulate to those that I am guided to do so.

As always Alex
You come up with some great posts that stir deep thoughts and emotions. At the beginning of the the year, most folks are asking themselves the same type of question with hopefullness and desire. I wrote a post on Using Treasure Mapping to Attract Your Vision with a little spin at the end and a link to view my personal map. http://www.powerfull-living.biz/blog/2008/01/04/using-treasure-mapping-to-attract-your-vision/. It was a powerfull experience to bring my requests for the year into a visual picture that inspires me every day.
