DESCRIBE YOUR BUSINESS: Originally, I was asked to develop a fortuneteller character for Universal Studios Orlando (Fla.). After three years of telling fortunes, it became as clear as my crystal ball that through this fun character, I could inspire and help people create their own positive future.

 to California, I decided to develop an entertainment business based on the fortuneteller character, whose name is Vivian Moonbeam. Be Wished parties star Vivian Moonbeam telling her fabulously fab·u·lous

 fun fortunes.

IS THIS YOUR FIRST BUSINESS? Yes.

WHY DID YOU START THIS BUSINESS? Because the future depends on it! One fortune at a time, Vivian Moonbeam plants the seeds of positivity so children and adults can ``grow'' forward in their future with more self-confidence and laughter.

WHERE DID YOU GET THE IDEA? From the stars, and from my heart. I really enjoy entertaining people, and I feel that we need a lot more laughter and joy in the world.

HOW LONG WAS IT FROM CONCEPT TO OPENING? When I moved here in March 2002, I had a plan to start be Wished. I did my first party in August 2002. I believe be Wished is continually evolving and changing.

WHAT DID YOU DO DURING THAT TIME? I teach court reporting part time when not doing parties. I offer laughter and joy to both.

WHAT WERE YOUR START-UP COSTS, AND HOW DID YOU FINANCE THE BUSINESS? Start-up costs were minimal. I got my costume costume, distinctive forms of clothing, including official or ceremonial attire such as ecclesiastical vestments, coronation robes, academic gowns, armor, and theatrical dress.  at Goodwill, and my mom makes all of my goody bags and gifts of appreciation.

WHO DID YOU RELY ON FOR ADVICE? Not Madam Cleo. Anyone who was positive about the fact that I wanted to do Play-Doh palm reading, hilarious horoscopes and silly storytelling Storytelling

 to make a difference in the world.

WHAT HADN'T YOU CONSIDERED BEFORE OPENING? The cost of advertising and the shock that adults would love the parties as much as kids.

WHAT IS YOUR EXPECTED REVENUE THIS YEAR? Between $3,000 and $4,000, but it's totally unpredictable.

WHAT GOALS DO YOU HAVE FOR THE COMPANY? I would like be Wished to go on the road, committing random acts of kindness Kindness

Vivian Moonbeam will be entertaining for the third time at Camp Ronald McDonald's Halloween Carnival carnival, communal celebration, especially the religious celebration in Catholic countries that takes place just before Lent. Since early times carnivals have been accompanied by parades, masquerades, pageants, and other forms of revelry that had their origins in  Fundraiser.
