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

They’re all soft, comfortable fabrics and on-trend designs that I will wear on repeat. And the jacket isn’t too heavy nor too light. It will be perfect for my walks and other outdoor activities.

Are you partaking in all of the Fall sales too?

I ran into @target to pick up the NEW CeraVe Super Boost Serum, along with the Vitamin C Brightening Cleanser, Vitamin C Brightening Lotion and Skin Renewing Night Cream, and I’m loving how simple this routine is.

As we get older, our skin can need a little extra hydration and attention to dullness and uneven-looking skin tone. For me, the goal isn’t to look younger—I just want healthy, hydrated and radiant skin because it makes me feel most confident and @CeraVe has me covered.

If you’re looking for a simple skincare routine that’s easy to maintain on a daily basis this is one to check out on your next Target run or online.

Have you tried any of these skin brightening products from CeraVe yet?

#ad Today’s monochromatic makeup look is inspired #ad Today’s monochromatic makeup look is inspired by the colors of Fall. I used all @lorealparis makeup to create this quick and easy look that will have you out the door in minutes.

The foundation and blush are the True Match Hyaluron Balm Foundation and Embellisher that multitask by giving my skin hydration and coverage with a lightweight feel.

I’m in love with the burgundy eyeshadow stick and mascara because they make my eye color pop and will be gorgeous with all of my Fall-colored wardrobe pieces.

And I always finish with the 3-Second Setting Mist to keep my makeup in place all day.
