By Josephine Wall
For your consideration…
I love today’s message for so many reasons. First, it came in via an old Elvis Presley song, “Follow That Dream.” Second, it brought me to one of my favorite Josephine Wall paintings, and finally because I had such a vivid dream last night. I seriously woke up from my dreams motivated, joyous, excited, etc.
We have had many messages…but it is worth reminders…that our dreams are important. While our Guidance is with us 24/7, always with us, always ready to weigh in, always giving us signs, we don’t often catch them. (We need to practice this.) So it is in our dream state where our Guidance can seize our undivided attention. It is in the dreams state that they can coach us, reassure us, give us needed direction and advice, etc. An important part of today’s message reminds us to do as Elvis sings:
Follow That Dream (in part)
Follow that dream, I gotta follow that dream
Keep a-movin, move along, keep a moving
I’ve got to follow that dream wherever that dream may lead
I’ve got to follow that dream to find the love I need
Keep a-movin, move along, keep a moving
I’ve got to follow that dream wherever that dream may lead
I’ve got to follow that dream to find the love I need
When your heart gets restless, time to move along
When your heart gets weary, time to sing a song
But when a dream is calling you,
There’s just one thing that you can do
When your heart gets weary, time to sing a song
But when a dream is calling you,
There’s just one thing that you can do
Well, you gotta follow that dream wherever that dream may lead
You gotta follow that dream to find the love you need
You gotta follow that dream to find the love you need
That is the HOPE. And so it is.
Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…
=Affirm…“I am loved.”
-Meditate/pray…ask…”What is my next step for my highest good and the highest good of all?”
-Sit on the side of the bed before you lay down and remind yourself, “I will remember my dreams.”
-Drink lots of water.
-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.
What made me smile yesterday…
-A beautiful day.
-Saw Alex and James’ new house and met the old owner and neighbors.
-Found fabric for baby quilts.
-A couple great graduation parties. It is good to see people again.
Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,
