What do you secretly desire?
Daily | October 13th, 2008
Okay, it won’t be a secret if you tell all of us, but tell us anyway…
Carrie says: Ugg boots, hands that look great with nail polish, and my coat back from Timothy Hutton.
Danielle says: Free money and model legs. I secretly would love a windfall inheritance from an eccentric person that I may have helped along the way (no one’s coming to mind, it’s just an abstract craving). And longer legs. I have my father’s Roman-soldier legs, which are great for marching long distances but not ideal for the catwalk.

I secretly desire luxury and old school glamour. Silk camisoles, diamonds and champagne. Huge candlelit dinners and long evening gowns,swoon…my daily luxuries are earl grey tea, vanilla scented candles, lattes and reading old classics:)

My friend of 3 years; one day a short time ago, my feeling for you have taken a dive into the deeper waters of beyond friendship love. This is completely in synch with a vow I made a while back: that my next long-term relationship would be with someone with whom I would develop a solid foundation of friendship first.
You are currently in the final stages of a less than fulfilling relationship so you may wake up to the same fact that we have a very strong mutual attraction, respect and admiration.
If not, I am okay with it because either way we are winners: if we continue to love each other as friends or if we make the shift to 'partnership-sexual- union' love. I am not going to put my life on hold for the potential of this happening and I will continue to remain open to meeting other eligible partners because I believe that my life will unfold to the highest possible good provided I am aligned with spiritual beliefs.
My other secret wish is to somehow, someday bring about world peace, harmony and unified existence with all living things.

I secretly desire the ability to be able to speak off the cuff in an articulate and intelligent manner when called upon to do so. This silence is power thing is getting old! I would also desire a BMW spider as a second car, (although that is not so secret).

Freedom. Pure, unadulterated, blissful freedom of following my soul's bliss.
October 13th, 2008 at 4:13 am
EXACTLY!
October 13th, 2008 at 4:23 am
To have Madonna's body without the daily 4 hour workouts.
October 13th, 2008 at 4:38 am
watch The Moses Code – claim oneness with all and with that feeling of oneness, feel love for all and state I am whole, perfect, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious, happy and joyful. By elevating the self, you elevate the one, which we are all of.
October 13th, 2008 at 4:38 am
To have someone see my art and say-You are the new “it” girl/artist. and then have a non ending stream of exciting work my way.
PS Just buy yourself the UGG boots, you are totally worth it!
October 13th, 2008 at 4:40 am
You know, I don't have a wish that is secret, unless the giant vision board in my office is some how classified.
October 13th, 2008 at 5:02 am
A vacation alone.
October 13th, 2008 at 5:08 am
to have more self control over a gross habit I have had little success kicking.
October 13th, 2008 at 5:42 am
A mentor, a boss with integrity, to be in love again, to live at the sea side…and i subscribe to the model legs
)
October 13th, 2008 at 5:44 am
My daughters would understand how wonderful they are and that the guys they're with now are not allowing them to fulfill their potential.
October 13th, 2008 at 5:45 am
And my not so secret desire is also to live by the sea.
October 13th, 2008 at 5:51 am
I'm shallow. I want long thick eye lashes. Okay, a vacation house by the ocean with one of those endless pools would be nice too.
October 13th, 2008 at 5:52 am
My secret desire is hidden in my heart, known slightly by a few. It's too personal to share publicly, but I feel that God, the Universe, Everything knows me by my heart anyway and if it is meant to happen, then it will.
The not-so-secret desires? Money to fulfill my dream of owning an amazing bakery/cafe and time enough to enjoy it. Oh yes, and the body of Heidi Klum. I don't ask for much, do I?
October 13th, 2008 at 6:19 am
To fulfill my creative desires daily.
October 13th, 2008 at 6:30 am
Kids. My boyfriend and I are both 26, and he just went back to school for a 3-year program. We've agreed that we're not going to talk about furthering our relationship until after he graduates and gets a job. So it'll be at least 4 years before kids even become an option, assuming I'm with the same guy (he's wonderful, so I hope so).
But sometimes the waiting's really hard…
October 13th, 2008 at 6:37 am
more words. I stumble over my words a lot and I often tell myself to study the dictionary. I have this love hate relationship with words. I love words and love to use new words but often times… when the word is relevant, I forget to use it… blah… Our desires don't have to make mush since right..?
dani.
October 13th, 2008 at 6:42 am
I'll admit it: I secretly want to come into a windfall.
October 13th, 2008 at 6:52 am
glamorous travel to exotic places (with my man) – year long cruise around the Mediterranean – sumptuous meals with luscious wine and decadent desserts!! Oh, with no weight gain – of course – ha!
October 13th, 2008 at 6:53 am
own a home that is unique and designed just the way I would like….stronger body….and less guilt
October 13th, 2008 at 6:54 am
Timothy Hutton has your coat…there must be a story there…
October 13th, 2008 at 7:00 am
I completely understand this one – my mouth & mind can't seem to connect when I want them to. Can't help but think of 'You've Got Mail.' Several days later in the shower I can formulate what should have been my side of the conversation! Maybe it's a blessing!
October 13th, 2008 at 7:01 am
I secretly desire to live in a small beachy-type house with two bedrooms and one bathroom. A place where my few possessions are a computer and a great pair of tennis shoes. I have had dreams where my house and all my possessions have gone up in flames. The relief that comes from not having anymore of my clutter is scary. Dreaming that my house catches fire so I don't have to deal with my clutter issues is just crazy. So maybe my secret desire is to have a dumpster delivered to my driveway.
October 13th, 2008 at 7:06 am
I have a picture in my office of my face glued onto Samantha Harris' body from the cover of Shape (?) magazine. I want her arms & abs. I haven't worked out in about 6 mos, so I want to wake up tomorrow and just look ripped, whilst eating fries & pizza & whatever I want.
I'd like a windfall from an eccentric acquaintance, too.
October 13th, 2008 at 7:17 am
Longer hair. To become a financial advisor or LIFE COACH!
October 13th, 2008 at 7:25 am
Fabulous Todds shoes at a price that doesn't make me feel like an indecent human beeing. Unfortunately, here in Morroco where I work, they are worth two months of some of my staff's salaries. So I forgo the Todds, out of guilt or out of solidarity…
A beachfront house… most definitely.
And being a role model for my children and others around me…
October 13th, 2008 at 8:03 am
LOL Danielle! I've secretly dreamed for years about a windfall inheritance from a black sheep relative that I've never heard of or that “eccentric person that I may have helped along the way”.
Guess I'm just going to have to earn my money myself…;-)
October 13th, 2008 at 8:05 am
physical contact… and a wardrobe of nothing but silk, cashmere, and suede.
October 13th, 2008 at 8:18 am
To be a jazz diva!
To secretly give women windfalls of cash, with a note that says, “Give this away. There's more where this came from!”
October 13th, 2008 at 8:33 am
LOVE Timothy Hutton. Please tell him we just watched all his Nero Wolfe DVDs.
I secretly long for a slender, smooth, flawless body that I don't have to work for. And to get as much in the black as I am in the red right now!
October 13th, 2008 at 8:35 am
Oh…and a stone cottage overlooking the ocean.
October 13th, 2008 at 8:49 am
I secretly desire the ability to teleport at will.
October 13th, 2008 at 8:54 am
Danielle and I are twins! I have always wondered when that unexpected wind fall of money is coming, and I have short stubby legs from my Dad, and have always (since the age of 10 when all I dreamt about was to be a model like Barbie) wanted long gorgeous legs, UGH!
October 13th, 2008 at 8:58 am
Revenge!
Okay, not the truly evil kind, but the kind where you end up on the cover of a magazine for doing something beautiful, creative and world-loving and you know your ex is gnashing his teeth, telling himself, “God! She's everywhere! Why won't she go AWAY?!!!!!”
I would also like the ability to fly. I could travel a lot more, and it seems more carbon-neutral than flying on an airplane.
October 13th, 2008 at 9:33 am
Me too. Hugely important.
October 13th, 2008 at 10:01 am
Thicker, longer hair. The kind of fashion-sense that lets me put an amazing outfit together easily! Kids that don't whine or fight. Time and money to make a serious dent in some of the world's problems. The ability to speed read really fast! A full-proof way to keep 10 pounds off! A daughter. A designer show-home that is paid off.
October 13th, 2008 at 10:13 am
An incredible man. Who totally understands me and is sexy without knowing it.
October 13th, 2008 at 10:16 am
My secret desires include a world where there is no difference between women and men going topless on a hot day (swimming would be so much more delightful!), an enormous amount of money that magically appears in my account each month that I can build on or blow as I choose, and to have inherited one of those physiques that stay lean and toned no matter what you eat or do.
And sometimes I secretly wish I had a huge wild mess of curls.
October 13th, 2008 at 10:21 am
If it is a secret desire, I assume one doesn't want to have to admit to it for one reason or another. What I hate to admit about myself is that no matter how much evidence there is to the contrary, at the end of the day I really just want to be adored by everyone.
October 13th, 2008 at 10:32 am
Ditto, to the weight thing!!!
October 13th, 2008 at 10:59 am
To be America's Galliano!
a totally exuberant and wildly romantic and successful designer and choose in every moment that this will be!
Sophisticated Lustrous
October 13th, 2008 at 11:11 am
i have the darkest brown eyes. they are almost black, and i have always wanted green eyes. the greenest green that they could be.
October 13th, 2008 at 11:24 am
I secretly (or not so secretly) desire for someone to sweep into my life, pack up my house, get us moved, and organize the start of all our new projects/changes. Oh, heavens, that would be nice.
October 13th, 2008 at 11:28 am
I secretly wish someone would discover/invent a magical cigarette that didn't have any harmful side effects to me, anyone around me or the environment but would still give me that wonderful nicotine buzz and sense of relaxation. Until then I guess I have to stick with cold turkey
October 13th, 2008 at 11:47 am
My secret wish is to become a program leader for a series of courses that have uncovered the 'authentic' me! I just finished up 4/5 parts of this series, and have found myself. I am SO FULL OF LIFE!!!!
Oh, the programs are http://www.c3training.com
INCREDIBLE!
I finished the last course and the facilitator was the daughter of the founder of the programs. And her mother was in the room, in a wheelchair after suffering a stroke 15 years ago. wow. Talk about inspiring…
October 13th, 2008 at 12:02 pm
A forty-four foot, all wood, ketch, which is single-handed capable, with all the trimmings, to include a place to dock it properly.
October 13th, 2008 at 12:04 pm
Ditto! The space between a thought and a word often feels a universe away.
October 13th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
To be thin, gorgeous and forever looking not a day older that 25!
October 13th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
…LIVING WELL is the best revenge! Good luck!
October 13th, 2008 at 12:47 pm
Money enough to never think about it again. Physical health & resiliency. And I always wanted to know what it would've been like to be really beautiful.
October 13th, 2008 at 12:47 pm
A money flow, with no strings attached.
A shopping spree in New York. To live with my boyfriend (shh!). To learn not to bite my nails haha! A tight stomach. Someone to shoot my documentary for me. A trip somewhere for a month!
October 13th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
Full lips, great teeth, more height, eat whatever and whenever I want and maintain a perfect body, financial freedom, beach house behind dunes and sea grass looking to the ocean, maintain good health and faculties until the end, to find my voice and write the words I'm meant to say, to be more accepting – less judgmental, to travel at will without worry, to do something significant for abused children and animals. It's a much longer list than this and it's not prioritized.
October 13th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
What's the documentary about? I have connections looking for projects.
October 13th, 2008 at 1:22 pm
Out there desires: To be bio luminescent. Why do fireflies and glow worms and angler fish get do you emit light, but not me? Also, telekinesis would be oh so handy.
More reasonably, I desire a great personal assistant who can do both the household and business stuff I don't enjoy, so I can luxuriate in doing the important things in life with full presence!
October 13th, 2008 at 1:23 pm
“get to emit light” is what I meant to say. Today would be a good day for my assistant to magically arrive!
October 13th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
To open my own boutique selling things that are beautiful to me. To have more time to show my creative side and to do so without worrying about expense. Oh, and to have beautiful, strong unbitten fingernails.
October 13th, 2008 at 1:43 pm
As much as I love my husband and family —- it's to have had a child with A. To be living life as I think it was meant to be with him, full of laughter and loving silliness. We met too soon, they love is discarded and written off as “too young” or whatever…. well it wasn't – it was the real thing…
October 13th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
*sigh* Just money. Money to put our debts to rest and cushion our savings. Money to visit our scattered family and friends. Money to travel to those places we really want to see. Money to enjoy the finer things in life; fine restaurants, first-class travel, the best food and wine, the best gifts for our loved ones, the best care for our home and our bodies.
October 13th, 2008 at 3:26 pm
really awesome flamboyant well-made sexy high-heeled shoes that cost a lot of money. I can read an answer right now by bene, and she says “luxury and old school glamour” and I also desire these things.
A quiet life in a little cottage in the middle of Canada-nowhere that my lover and I build with our own hands.
To be an actress. A star : )
October 13th, 2008 at 3:36 pm
haha! I can relate to this feeling : )
October 13th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
I want my old life back as domestic Goddess extraordinaire! I already live by the sea and have the body I want and the people I want. All I'm asking for is a opportunity to take care of my children, my people and some lucky guy. Maybe that super hot redheaded fire fighter!
It feels strange to ask for some other forces(or person) to come in and take care of my financial world but seriously I am so happy doing my thing at home it feels like a waste of talent.
There. I've said it. Now it's no secret.
October 13th, 2008 at 4:59 pm
Christian Louboutin pumps in black and nude (and maybe bright purple!), to feel serene at least once a day, to retire and be an old lady in Paris, and always have fresh flowers in my home and office. And a cash windfall that doesn't involve anyone dying.
October 13th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
To have the love of my life and be the love of someone else's life.
October 13th, 2008 at 6:05 pm
Oh, wow…
October 13th, 2008 at 7:24 pm
I secretly desire to be a mother, to have a creative idea that grows into my own business that I could run on my own terms, to be respected and listened to in my current job, to earn more money, to make director or Vice President, to run a perfect home, to have a perfect, tailored and pulled-together wardrobe, to have straight hair and to get more done in less time.
October 13th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
a whole new sexy wardrobe, a lifetime supply of La Mer products and a tummy tuck, also a whole day of spa treaments that I don't have to pay for
October 14th, 2008 at 7:57 am
I secretly desire a shopping spree towards my Natural Essence Style Statement. I secretly desire a trip to NYC to visit my best friend. I secretly desire the days to go back to warm for a little bit longer so that my son and I could explore a little longer and I would also love a weekend away at a spa with my husband. How fun and relaxing?!
October 14th, 2008 at 7:59 am
Have you seen Ms. Pettigrew Lives for a Day?! You might be able to channel your desires through this fun little flick. Glamorous indeed!
October 17th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
In order of priority and level of desire:
To free myself from my extremely disatisfying marriage.
To spend more time with my daughters.
To buy my first home.
To make significant progress on my family history research.
To start my own business.
To have 20/20 vision.
To get a breast lift and tummy tuck.
October 25th, 2008 at 8:19 pm
what do I secretly desire….my life partner, to be a “power couple” in love, life and art work.
To support each other and use the power of two to make dreams come true. I know I know, I can do it myself, but you asked what I want…and aside from my old boots back or another new pair while I am away travelling or a trip to SF and or a trip to NYC….then that's what I want, my twin flame…and tickets to Bass Nectar…but boots and tickets I can take care of..the other is beyond my control….hear that Universe….I am asking..now I allow right!?
December 23rd, 2008 at 1:55 am
I secretly desire for a loving husband who would build a very strong family and would work hard to earn a living. I eventually wont have to work anymore and can take care of my kids better.
