...have the wish I wish tonight.


If you could have one wish come true with regards to what you'd like to do with your life for a career/work what would it be? Money's not an object, so you don't need to post that you'd have to win the lottery first. You will have all the money you need to successfully start and run your business or career goal -- no more, no less.

How would you reinvent yourself if you could? What is it that you would do with yourself that would fulfill your intellectual and interpersonal needs?

Dream big and outloud people. Share every nuance of what you'd like, and write it as if it already is. When you're finished writing, no matter how long or short your wishing post, end it with writing out "I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight".

Most of all, have fun and stay positive while you're writing it. Let no doubts about any problems you might think you could have come up and color your dream ugly, okay?

I have a two part wish that would round out my each and every week meeting my needs for both my drive to own a business and my drive to depart from any career choice I've ever made and performed in my life. The second part is something I've just decided to start working on this year.


The business is called Cosmic's . It is an eclectic restaurant that is opened Friday nights for dinner, for lunch and dinner on Saturday, and for Sunday Brunch. It seats 50-60 people. I do prep work in the morning and otherwise hostess. I am not so into being the owner that I'm beyond washing dishes.

The food is fresh and delicious, by far more inventive than corporate restaurant fare, but not pretentious and unrecognizable. The wine list is extensive, fabulous, and so not over priced. I have a really good tap beer selection, including some of Germany's finest.

The place is famous for my award winning Apple Macadamia Nut Pie (I won a Blue Ribbon for this in the San Mateo Co Fair in the early 90's)

The food and drink is served on and in China and Crystal, but not a single piece on any one table matches. All the fabrics in the place are all different patterns and in deeply warm colors. Most of the fabrics are tye dyed. There is artwork on the walls from local artists (eclectic artwork, though) and there are unique kites hanging about and interesting crystals set about. Fresh flowers and plants grow out of every cubby hole available in the place. It is exclusively candle lit at night. The music played is, of course, gypsy-like kinds of music. There are live guitar and violin performances, too.

The place is environmentally designed. The gray water is recycled to water the greenhouse wherein I grow the fresh vegies and herbs I serve, and the cut flowers for the tables. The whole restaurant is run from as much alternative energy resource as possible, and is self sustaining as is possible.

My crew LOVES coming to work because I treat them with respect and pay them over the top wages...they are worth their weight in gold. I carry through the same crew year in and year out and we are like family to one another. We have a sit down meal daily, on the house.

A short time following the opening the restaurant is such a success and well received that reservations are needed weeks in advance to dine. The reviews of the place glow.

I close the place each night with an unprecedented satisfaction I never felt before in my work place.

Part two (much shorter and simpler )--

I live on the same piece of property as is Cosmic's. I spend Monday through Thursday tending my greenhouse garden and I have the freedom to write the screenplay I am dreaming of writing. After I finish the screenplay and edit it to perfection it is picked up and produced. Millions of people worldwide go to see the movie and have life altering experiences.

I eventually retire from the restaurant business, maybe to continue writing. I sell the restaurant to the crew as a co-op financial venture for them. I eat there for free whenever I want

I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight.
