My Wish List Revealed

My birthday is this month. Yes, I’m a Taurus. Stubborn as bulls, we are!

Another trait that may or may not be related to being a Taurus – I have troble asking for what I want. For nearly all my birthday parties in the past, I’ve asked guests to bring various donations for charity instead of bringing me a gift. But as a dear friend recently told me, this was often perceived as tacky and made people not want to be around me because there’s nothing festive about feeling guilty. Sigh…and I thought I was creating good karma for myself.

So this year, since I’m not buying anything as a rule, I figure I might as well try asking for what I want. Check out my Amazon.com Wish List for all the things I would love to receive for my birthday, if you feel moved to get me a gift.

While none of these are true necessities, they’re not terribly extravagant desires either. I’m blessed with an abundant life – there’s nothing I really need. These are just a few things I’d love to have.

And most of them don’t need to be brand new – I’d prefer hand-me-downs where applicable. Let’s keep the carbon footprints down, people!

But the best gift I could receive in honor of my birthday is for you to follow, share, and comment on my blog. I love writing it and it makes me happy when I feel like someone’s actually reading it. It’s the simple things in life, really.

Thanks and happy birthday to me!
