I love those flying dreams Sherry!

had them since I was a child.

I've discovered during meditation, sometimes, a feeling of flying, but it's more like traveling at speed above various landscapes.....like seeing...scenes, than the feeling of actually flying in dreams.

It doesn't happen all the time, tho the alkie in wishes it would lol

Me too...I skip up...and fly...and sometimes just take off at magnificent speeds

over vast landscapes....sometimes...I come down..and skip up gain..desperately

trying to fly free.

All you have to do... is BE.
Be yourself. No one else WILL EVER compare to who you already are.

You don't even have to be your best, because for you, there's only your best.
There's nothing to prove, and no one to please who isn't already OVER THE MOON WITH JOY at how well you've done, and with whom you've become.

Roger Wilco,
The Universe

You've made a lot of friends throughout your life, and you'll be making a lot more. You can be very proud of this.

But you can safely multiply that number by 7 to reveal the minimum number of secret admirers who've loved you from afar; by 100 to approximate the minimum number of people you've inspired; and by 10,000 to uncover the least number of lives yours has improved. And this... I'm very proud of.

Love grows wherever you go. And it always will.

We've only just begun,
The Universe

The reason things always work out for the best, is because this is actually the highest of all spiritual laws.

Any apparent exceptions are simply evidence that work is still in progress, whether or not it can be seen.

We call it the "Things always work out for the best" law. Catchy, huh?


Always,
The Universe

Sometimes I hate it when something my mother said 19990 times turns out to be something I believe today. I don't hate it that she was right...I hate it that it took me so darn long to "get it".

It's always been easy to love you.

The challenge has come from granting you so much freedom that, at times, you might not know that I do.

I always have,
The Universe


I always will.

Can you imagine, having made a difference in so many lives, that people, everywhere, talk about you for the rest of their lives?
Can you imagine... truly leaving the world a better place than you found it?

Can you imagine, that ALL THE ANGELS might know your name?

You have.
It's done.
They do.

Good God Almighty... YOU'VE rocked the world!
What are you gonna do next?

(Besides have a much deserved BEAUTIFUL day!)

Just one of your many fans,
The Universe

My mother used to say "If, when you die, the world is a better place because you lived, then you have lived well. You don't have to do great things, you just have to do some small thing every day"

Wise woman, my mama. I sure miss her. Thanks for this reminder/echo of my mama's voice.

Ann....

I just got home from babysitting my grandbabies in another city. My sister

stayed with Mother, who called me the day after I left. She said.."Honey, I

miss you." "Miss me? Oh, Mother, why...I am so boring", I laughed....

(and have been grumpy, and caught up in self lately I thought)

But your post helps me realize maybe it's not the great and wonderful things

I do for her...but the small things, on a daily basis...that matter so much..

and just being there.

Your mom was a wise mama, and I am sure you were a wonderful daughter..

Thanks.
