The Obama/Clinton Dream

Don't really have time to complete this post but will revisit on Friday:

In a nutshell, I had another one of my celebrity dreams and this one had President Obama and Bill Clinton in it! What a great dream. Again, it was as if though I was friends with them and I was at one of their homes (I couldn't really say if it was the White House or not). I apparently was over for dinner and just wrapping up to leave but stopped by to say goodbye to a group of children as they were stirring chocolate cake batter. I remember having fun and laughing. As I left I also remember giving President Obama and Bill Clinton a friendly kiss on the cheek. How fantastic to be having all these dreams where in many cases I am friends with such interesting, intelligent, warm people and in their social circle!

OK I better run. Laundry waits for no woman! Ha ha. More tomorrow on the other celebrity dream I had this morning. No time now to write.

I Gotta Feeling...

When I woke up this morning I had a feeling it was going to be a good day despite some of my mixed emotions about a few things. I went walking in the park (got in over 11,000 steps today), stopped in the library to pick up my latest round of books, walked home, took a really good cool midday shower (really love those), and then cried out the last bit of the sad emotions. I'm free now. It took three weeks to release the lingering sad feelings but now I can honestly say they are gone. In the words of the Black Eyed Peas...I gotta feeling. LOL. Everything is going to be ok. I can feel it...emotionally, financially, physically, spiritually. I haven't put all the pieces together yet on how it's all going to come together but I just feel it. It is coming together as I live and breathe. Something that I learned about myself that I failed to acknowledge all this time is that I love. Despite being rejected, hurt, humiliated, abandoned...I still love and am open to it knowing that I can get hurt again at any time. Love is messy but worth it. In making this discovery, I reminded myself that I love myself and others. My heart has not hardened like some I have met along my journey.

After I finished crying I looked in the mirror and did my affirmations. Tonight's gonna be a good, good night. I better get going. Have some reading to do and more posting on the other blog which I reserved for the dating stories. Got another interesting email from someone I met years ago. Crazy. The universe has a funny way of bringing everything full circle. I'm glad God helped me to learn to be more aware.

A Refreshingly Cool Break

For the first time in over two years, I had a dinner guest on a Saturday night! Rosa came over and we had a simple yet good three course meal. On the menu was a red leaf lettuce salad with cucumber, tomato, and shredded carrot with Italian dressing. Entree of baked crab cakes and lemon pasta with basil. And for dessert...dulce de leche ice cream with fresh strawberries. Still working on perfecting the baked crab cakes (they didn't completely brown on top) but overall the flavor was good. I always try a new recipe with new guests. LOL. Risky but worth it. I enjoyed the company and hope that Rosa had a good time as well. She was really sweet and brought over a great bottle of red wine. It was so hot outside today so I was really happy that there haven't been any blackouts or brownouts and that the A/C is fully functioning. It's late so I better go to sleep. Glad that this Saturday wasn't the usual boring ones that have been a trend lately. I'm also really excited to have started the other blog. It makes me feel like I'm working towards generating more happiness. Something worth looking forward to in these tough days and weeks. I'm starting to focus more on my workouts. Can't let isolation be a deterrent to wellness. Just work though it. OK. More tomorrow (or should I say later today?).
