This day, my mother was born. December 17. It's been a pretty, happy day. Because I've been thinking of her. Missing her. Feeling her close to me. She came to me in my dreams last night. We spoke. I cried. She reassured me that all was well and she touched my stomach. Julien said that last night after I fell asleep, the baby was moving around a lot. But I slept. Finally. When this day comes, I can't help think of the cycle of life and how amazing it all is. This day last year, my friend Sarah gave birth to her amazing son, Felix. I'm so much more aware of the present and this life I live right now. I'm learning to live life in the now.
Happy Birthday, Omma.
Le monde a tellement de regrets
Tellement de chose qu'on promet
Une seule pour laquelle je suis fait
Je t'aimais, je t'aime et je t'aimerai
Quoi que tu fasses
L'amour est partout ou tu regardes
Dans les moindres recoins de l'espace
Dans le moindre reve ou tu t'attardes
L'amour comme s'il en peuvait
Nu sur les galets
-Francis Cabrel
I am so glad she visited. You are a lucky lady. You're going to be such a neat mom.

Wow, I didn't realize -- our mothers have the SAME BIRTHDAY. I'm glad we got to visit with our mothers "long distance" in our different ways: you through your dream, me through a phone call. Hugs to you!

hey...
my friend's mom passed away beginning of nov. I went to Ottawa (5 hr drive from Toronto & is our nation's capital!)for the funeral. They buried her mother yesterday...so she called me very very upset and was wondering if you have any words of advice I can give her? She was close to her mom and really misses being able to talk to her - esp now since her current relationship with boy is not going well.
Thanks!

Your connection to the spiritual world around you is beautiful.

It's nice that you still have a connection to your mother.
