Apparently, 11:11 is the best time of day to make a wish, either a.m. or p.m. And it’s 1/11 today, probably not quite as auspicious as 11/11, but pretty close.
So perhaps tonight would be a good night to make a wish for success in love, business, blogging and health–go big or go home, right?
Some days, I have to admit, I feel rather less successful than others. This has been one of those days when I would really like a little lift, a little luck, a little love, and a little blessing (okay, maybe a lot of blessing) to come my way.
What’s the protocol for making a wish when there are no dandelions in seed to blow and send one’s wishes away on the wind? Light a candle and blow it out, perhaps, like on a birthday cake?
The breath is the thing–inspiration has more than one meaning, per Merriam-Webster:
a divine influence or action on a person believed to qualify him or her to receive and communicate sacred revelation
the act of drawing in; specifically: the drawing of air into the lungs
So that’s what I’ll be doing at 11:11 tonight: breathing in deeply, exhaling fully, and sending forth my wishes to the universe that I might receive and communicate sacred revelation. I’ll keep you posted on how that turns out. 😉
Thats a tradition of ours. 11:11 is, yes, the time to make a wish.
