I am an East Coast expatriate hiding out in the Midwest...

I am an urban gal living in the suburbs and occasionally hiding in the country

I am a yoga practitioner, fitness enthusiast, believer in the mind-body-spirit connection...

I am a mid-life "revert" to the Roman Catholic faith in which I was raised and which has become an enormous source of support, encouragement, inspiration, and joy in my life...

I am a mom, sister, daughter, and wife...

I am an explorer; adventurous and curious about the world and people around me...

I am educated in the formal sense but I gain insight through everyday living...

I created this blog at a time of great fear and apprehension in my life. I chose to sustain it because of the discoveries about myself and the world around me that it has revealed.



What you can expect to find here:
  • the documentation of a love-hate relationship with the greater Philadelphia area
  • reminiscing about the good-ole-days (the 80's!)
  • complaints about my various ailments and injuries, both real and imagined
  • pictures and stories of gardening, decorating, shopping, sewing
  • my love of irony
  • links to kooky news stories
  • way too much scatological musing for sane people

    Tears turn to knowing winks

    Yet more evidence of my effervescent self coming through this current crisis, this time via my subconscious:

    Last night I dreamt I was heavily pregnant and I was at my grandmother's house in Northeast Phillly. I walked toward her middle bedroom - the one with the old-school 1960's vanity table and chair that I loved to play at as a kid. Before I could enter the room, the late Pope John Paul II stands in the doorway, smiles at me, puts his hands on my swollen belly as a blessing and nods with reassurement in his gesture. I also sensed that all of my late relatives on my mom's side (all of  them Polish, as well) were in the room peeking at me through the doorway, smiling warmly.

    As wierd of an image as that is, its giving me alot of solace today so I'm gonna run with it!

    I put a lot of stock in dreams, perhaps too much. But this one, I'd say, is a good sign!

    Like Miss Ginger said.. dreams are full of meaning.
    I'm glad this dream has given you some peace :)

    That is not your ordinary dream my dear. I'd say that carries weight and a lot of positivitiy.

    Ooooooooooooooooooh! In dreams, a house represents yourself, each room representing a part of you. Very cool dream!

    On a related topic, I dreamt about Lucky three nights ago, he was healthy and agile, and jumped up on my bed, purring and rolling around, as if to say "I'm ok, don't worry about me". I felt so good after that. *sigh*

    I understand they want to make JP II a saint and need a miracle or 2 based on his presense, maybe you just experienced one ;)
