I know. I missed two blog dates in a row. It bothers me. I’m worry about what my readers will think. I shouldn’t. So, inspiration being scarce, I did a tarot reading for myself this morning looking for a blog subject. As usual, the cards hit the nail on the head. They told me I am at a point of change in my life and that expecting constant inspiration at such a time is somewhat self-indulgent. Change doesn’t happen over night and sometimes occurs so slowly we need days, weeks or months to figure out that it has happened.
Right now it’s leaving me with a feeling that I have lost my focus (Aw, poor baby!). However I am becoming aware of a new thought in the distant recesses of my brain. It looks like I am supposed to get into a teaching mode. No, this is not a prelude to a marketing announcement about spirit walking classes I will teach in order to get rich. (As you can see, there is a lot of self scrutiny going on here too.) It may be that I will get into teaching the craft of writing. What better way to sharpen my own writing skills than to teach them?
Prior to last May, I was intending to start a blog for Baby Boomers that taught the basics of writing; something that would encourage others to do what I have done. Share the fun of writing with my peers. Then in May I had two dreams and an omen which convinced me to start this blog. It was as though the spirit world intervened and said, “Hey, forget that, teach this!” So that’s what I did. I’m not thinking of ending this blog; perhaps I’ll just start another. I enjoy this as an outlet for my experiences. (Self indulgent?) The dreams and the omen were pretty direct. I’ll share them with you next time.

Most writers, when they go with their gut, are successful. If your spirit or core was telling you to write about your spiritual journey, and a way to soothe those that are suffering, then that is your mission in life.
Your blog on Baby Boomers would be good, but maybe your Higher Power needs you to help people
I wanted to ask.. Sometimes I dream of my Mom. maybe every 2 or 3 weeks. I dream I am talking to her. And that she had been sick and I am glad to see her.. I go to hug her, and then I slowly wake up, realizing she is dead.. I don’t feel sad, but sometimes. later in the day I just feel drained.
I wonder if she is trying to just say Hello from the Hereafter.. It seems like that is something she would want to do. Say hello and chat for awhile.
Thanks for any comments you have. Jo

Jo,
A month after my wife Marilyn died, she came to me in a dream. It was so real I wept for almost an hour. Then she started visiting me in dreams more and more often. At the time I just accepted that she wanted to keep me company; let me know she still existed. After a couple of months, I asked my daughter and son if they had any dreams about her. It turned out that they were dreaming of her frequently as well. Our dreams were not about the past. They were just about keeping in touch with us and letting us know she cared.
It sounds like your dreams of your mom are similar. My advice is to pay attention to what she is doing and saying in your dreams. She may just be there to comfort you, but she may also have some good advice she wishes to share. Isn’t it a wonderful experience, to realize our loved ones still exist and still love us just like they did when they were in physical form?
Have a Happy Holiday!
