What does the question "What Do You Want" mean to you?

 Over the weekend I flipped thru the "Heal Your Life" workbook and came upon a question that seems to jump out at me as it does in so many other books and areas of my life. "WHAT DO YOU WANT"?
I'm not so sure why this always stumps me when this question comes up as a quiz of sorts. Even when a friend of mine and I were working on our new vision boards and going thru the magazines I remember saying how much tougher it is this time than the first time we had done one. Back then (5 years ago) I was ripping pages out all over the place LOL. I'm not sure if it's because now every time I hear "what do you want" I immediately hear "be careful what you wish for". First off, I'm not sure why that question follows the latter and secondly I AM afraid of what to ask for because everything that is received has it's consequences, good and or bad. For some reason I equate receiving something great to be attached to something bad. Why am I so fearful that the consequences might be bad? Then I looked deeper. AHA! Because with everything that is received, with it comes changes. And THIS my friends is what I fear. Change. Simple as that. FEAR OF CHANGE. 
One of the first E-Mails I opened this morning was from TUT .... A Note From The Universe. 

Here is what it said: "When you don't know what you want, Bernadette, it's probably time to begin enjoying what you have". 

Do I "not know" what it is I want or is it that I am too afraid to want out of fear? Fear of change. Maybe this message from the Universe came at the right time to tell me: slow down, I don't always need to want, what is the rush in knowing, let the knowing of what you want come to you. 
So with that, I will sit back, enjoy what I have and until the knowing what I want comes to me freely and without fear, I will go on with my daily life, enjoy what it is I have, for I am exactly where I should be at this very moment in time. 
Love, Hugs and Kisses,
Bernadette

IS the grass really greener on the other side?

Things seem to be popping up everywhere these days that have me thinking about when I was younger, much younger. So in thinking back to when I was a child or at least as far back as I can remember, I always thought how great it would be to be on the other side. You know, where "the grass is always greener".  I must have thought this way so much so that these are (almost) the only memories that come to mind. In my eyes it seemed everyone had it all or more than me. More fun, more friends, better hair, better skin, just more or better things than I did. I remember being shy, nervous and scared a lot. I know, I know, those of you who watched me grow up such as my brother, sisters, aunts and uncles would say "that's not what I remember" but things are so different on the inside than they are on the outside. I do remember times that I laughed and had fun but they seem to be so far and few in between. Does everyone feel this way when thinking back to their childhood? Something tells me no.
