Mission accomplished. Wishes granted. Two weeks after I created this wish post, I walked past and discovered the people of Fitzroy had taken up every single item on offer. It really warmed my heart. I hope it gave them what they needed.
In case you’re curious, the wishes were:
TRUE LOVE
UNDERSTANDING
A BRAVE HEART
TO BELONG
FREEDOM
A BELLY LAUGH
A SMILE FROM A BABY
HOPE
A FRESH START
FAITH
I sure hope they find them. What do YOU wish for? What wishes would you grant, if you could?
(ps. When I put this little poster up, I was a bit afraid to be spotted so I picked a tiny, out-of-the way residential street in the middle of nowhere. I was saying to Em that I probably should have been brave and picked a busier street, like Brunswick Street, to ensure the poster was actually seen. But Em said maybe it was better this way. “Because maybe the people who walked down that street were the ones who really needed a wish the most.” I rather like that.)
What fun! We’ve been talking about wishes at kindy after reading an old French fairy tale about wishes ( The Three RIdiculous WIshes). My little boy said he would wish for 1000 strawberries! I love your little project
Gillian I absolutely love that. 1000 strawberries! I wish for them too! I will put them on my next ‘wish poster’, I think.
