We asked some of our favorite women to tell us what they are CRAVING this second and received a ton of fascinating, relatable responses. Here are our favorite 75. We want to hear from you too! Please take a second to meditate on what you want out of life right now, and add to this list in the comment section below.

1. Expressing myself creatively through entertaining, design, and fashion.

3. Peace, harmony, beautiful surrounding.
4. Being happy in the present.
5. Color, sunlight, stories, laughter, music, hugs.

9. Unconditional love, a happy (functional) family, total prosperity, good health, peace of mind, a loving soulmate/spouse, children, blessed career as a NY Times best-selling international speaker/author.
10. Chocolate, sweet drinks, not diet. Really good food. Good friends, happy and healthy adult children, and contact with them. A husband who works around the house or in the yard.
11. Contentment with self
12. Stimulation: cultural, intelletual, physical (ie the feel of the ocean, a long bike ride, etc)
13. Advice about how to be a better person. I crave affection right now. recently divorced, being alone is hard. I crave laughter and the ability to let things go and forgive easier.

63. Funny you should ask. I’m going through a whole career metamorphosis right now. I’ve always been the one to bend over backwards and fit my life around a job. Now (two kids later) I’m at the point where I want something that works into my life. I’m thinking about going freelance… so I guess the answer is FREEDOM. Freedom to do what I want, when I want and how I want, and to make good cabbage doing it!

  Live the life I’ve been given and to appreciate all the wonderful things I do have. To live without regret and without comparison to what I thought life would be.
