"I wish for PEACE in SUDAN!"

Added by wisher: 
"Wishing is great, it helps us to realize our goals.  To make our wishes come true we need ACTION!

Recently in Sudan the president, Omar Bashir, had an arrest warrant (on charges or war crimes and crimes against humanity) put out for him by the International Criminal Court.  In response he expelled sixteen NGOs who provide healthcare, food and essential programs for internally displaced people in the western region of Darfur (
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/mar/24/darfur-aid-crisis).  This is an extremely serious action, the UN estimates that over one million people depend on aid for their survival.  The explusion of the NGOs from Darfur will certainly cause suffering, if not the death, of thousands of civillians in a war that has already caused the death of over 400,000 people and displaced over 2.7 million!

My wish is not just for peace, I wish that everyone who visits this site would take ACTION!  Write a letter to our prime minister, tell him how you feel about the sistuation in Darfur.  OR even easier than that is call 1-800-GENOCID(E) and tell the government how you feel directly, it only takes five minutes!"


Together cuz we can help a wish come true! Please do your part!!!

Great Tweet from Douglas Stuart



I thought this was a great quote to share that we think exemplifies one of goals on ihave1wish:

"You can Achieve all you want in life if you help enough other people Achieve what they want in life"

We found this quote by following Douglas Stuart on Twitter and thought this is exactly what we want to help you too! We want you to share your wishes with us and help you to achieve those as well through a little bit of hope, encouragement and smile all the way through!

Repost: Why should we wish?

So what does it mean to wish? To me, wishing is a means of aligning yourself with what you "wish" (for lack of a better word) to see in yourself, in those around you, and in the universe that encompasses every being and thing. A real wish is not to be forgotten after the candles are blown out, but rather to be embellished as a promise.....a promise to oneself to bring about everything that they "think and thank about" (taken from The Secret)

Many people forget that a wish is basically a
spark, a mental state that allows one to define that which they desire. If I wish for a brand new car, I can not simply lay back and expect a car to drop out of the sky, but rather while invoking positive thought, feeling, and formulating an image in my head of the desired car, I will in a sense meta-physically attract the means by which I can attain that car. Perhaps I will notice the desired car for sale more often than other cars, or may search for it in the classifieds to see if anyone is selling it for a reduced price, or even so look for a job that may lead towards a higher income and thus the means to purchase that car.

Realistically, it is dangerous to place all of our hopes and desires on wishes and aspirations. Sometimes, barriers in life make it difficult or near impossible for us to achieve our goals (it may be difficult to become an NBA superstar if you are only 5'2), but the eventual goal of any wish is to propel you in the direction of your goal. Although you may not actually become an NBA superstar, perhaps you will make great strides in the college circuit, which would not have happened had you not had enough faith in yourself that you could get that far.

Thus, I guess the question is inverted.
Why shouldn't we wish? What do we have to lose when we wish for things in our life? Perhaps we may be let down that we have not achieved everything we desired or expected, but inevitably by wishing we propel ourselves to move towards a direction, and let the universe in a sense manage the rest.

As a man of hope and inspiration once said,

"Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase."
- Martin Luther King Jr.

Favorite way to WISH!

wish, 11:11, clock, time, wishing time, magic
The results from our poll are in....peoples favorite way to wish is....

11:11

If you are a fan of wishing at 11:11 you can join the "I wish at 11:11!!" facebook group!
I think its because it comes so often! And, because its magical that it its so often that people look at the clock right at that time!

However, my newest way to make a wish is through i have 1 wish....I think you will love it 2!!

Through twitter (@brazilet) we discovered a very cool wishing site called Brazilet that sells bracelets that have spiritual significance in latin america that you make a wish on them and when they fall off they are suppose to come true. The site also streams peoples wishes at the bottom. The proceeds go to help preserve the rainforest in Brazil.  They are only $5 and you can get them online!Just ordered mine! Can't wait to wish on it!

Wish #1

make, change, difference, share, ihaveonewish

Emily's Wish : "I wish 2 create CHANGE by sharing UR wishes"

WHAT DO YOU WISH FOR?


Are you tired of hearing: "If you share your wish it won't come true?"
It's time to SHARE them, and help each other make them a reality, rather than just part of a fairy tale. 
Tell the world what you wish for at 11:11, or when you blow out your candles, or on dandelion, or on the first star you see at night, or what you would tell your fairy godmother, or a genie in a lamp, or any other times you make a wish!
Secrecy is the way of the past, tell the world what you want and what you wish!

Here's HOW to make your wish come true:

1) write your wish on a piece of paper
2) Take a picture of yourself holding it
3) email it to: ihaveonewish@gmail.com and we'll do the rest


OR: just write the wish in an email and send it, or create a fun collage (check postsecrets for example) 


optional steps:
  • make a youtube video about your wish
  • post your wish on a facebook album
  • post your photo on our facebook group: i have one wish
  • twitter your wish and link to blog
  • help others wishes come true!!!!
  • SPREAD IT!
HAPPY WISHING!
