Dreams – Kinda Personal, But Worth Sharing

April 22, 2014

I debated whether or not to post such a personal experience here on my blog or not.  I’ve decided that it might mean something to someone else so I’m going to share it.  I hope you enjoy reading this.

My Dream…

Wow!  I have some of the craziest dreams.  My dream from last night actually ended at about 6:00 am with me waking up crying.  I was dreaming about my mom who passed away almost 18 months ago.  In the beginning I had dreams of her every single night all night long.  My dreams of her are more of a rarity nowadays (or at least from what I recall).  Well, I didn’t want to go back to sleep after awakening because I was afraid that I’d forget the dream.  So I kept recalling the dream over and over in my  conscious mind and wouldn’t allow myself to go back to sleep even though it was two hours before my alarm was scheduled to go off.  I decided to write this post at that time so that I could remember this one forever.

I find it interesting too that whenever I dream of my mom it’s from times when she was healthy.  I never ever dream of her being sick or weakened from cancer.
In this dream she came back to us.  I was telling her that I’ve been wearing a necklace of hers since I thought she was gone.  I asked her where she had gotten it.  She told me that my brother gave it to her.  In the dream I relayed that information to my brother and my daughters and we were all shedding tears and walking into another room so that my mom wouldn’t see us crying.  We never let her see us cry.  That’s the way she was so that’s where we must have gotten that from. 
It’s just so amazing to me how parallel to real life some of my dreams are.  So many unanswered questions.  Not really talking about feelings and the reality of what was happening.  I obviously miss my mom more than anything in this world.  I think about her every single day.  I miss the healthy mom, not the one who was sick and nauseous and unable to get out of bed.  I’m sad for what she’s missing in our lives.  I do know that she’s at peace and is pain free.
It’s just weird that this is how my Easter began today.
Every day is a gift!  Live life to it’s fullest because you really never know when your time on this earth will be over.

Whenever I see ladybugs, I know that my mom is near.
This one landed on me when I got out of the car today.
Has anyone seen Heaven is for Real Yet?  I’ve heard that it’s a good movie.  I read the book a few years ago and my Kleenex and I plan to see the movie in the next few weeks.
Thanks for stopping by!!

    What a powerful dream about your mother. After my grandfather died, I dreamed about him a couple of times. It always gave me comfort to see him before he got sick. Thank you for sharing.

    I love that you shared your dream with us… My grandma passed away 10 years ago and I have been dreaming that she is still alive and I never visit her. I wake up so sad and mad at myself. The dream upsets me, but I can see her so vividly in the dream, I love that part. xoxo

I like to shout from the rooftops when I find good I like to shout from the rooftops when I find good beauty products that work well for my mature skin in hopes that others will discover them too.

Be sure to let me know if there’s anything you’ve been loving lately too.💖

Today I’m including:
•a body makeup product that helps cover, disguise and blur my dark spots from sun damage from too many years spent in the sun.

•an at-home FDA cleared fractional laser to improve the appearance of my skin and even help get rid of some of those dark spots. I’m using it nightly.

•a beautiful pink lipstick that is like happiness in a tube

•an excellent facial spf product that protects my skin when I’m outdoors. I purchased mine when I was in France.

•some tasty gummy supplements I’ve been using including a multivitamin and a gummy prebiotic and probiotic combo to keep my gut happy

•and a balm that works great for keeping my skin hydrated that I like to dab under my eyes and on the lines above my lips because hydration helps make fine lines look better/less obvious when I look in the mirror.
We had a baby shower for my daughter this weekend We had a baby shower for my daughter this weekend and I wore this gorgeous dress that was perfect for celebrating my next grandson. I felt like the accessories complemented my outfit perfectly.

I’m feeling blessed and I hope you’re feeling the same as we kick off a new month.🩷

I’ve learned that fine lines and dry skin don’t ha I’ve learned that fine lines and dry skin don’t have to be part of my everyday look. #OlayPartner 

I’ve been using the Olay Micro-Sculpting Cream, and I love how hydrated, smooth and refreshed my skin looks and feels. Our skin changes as we age and keeping it moisturized with effective ingredients is one of the simplest ways I keep mine looking firmer, smoother, healthier and more radiant at 61 years old.

The @olay Micro-Sculpting Cream has triple collagen peptides, niacinamide and pro-vitamin B5 to support younger looking skin.

If you’re looking for dramatic results without taking drastic measures, then this is a moisturizer you will be impressed with. It layers beautifully under makeup and delivers lasting hydration.

Comment your skincare goals and save this reel for your next beauty shopping trip.♥️
