I believe that dreams are our souls way of communicating with us. They are a way to try to wake us up – to get us to become aware of our inner journey. And because of this belief, I pay close attention to my dreams. I think about them, talk about them, and sit with them – I wait until the symbols and strangeness in them become clear and understandable.

All this week, one word has been lingering at the forefront of my mind. That word is Ego.
Early this week, I finally polished up the first draft of my manuscript What My Mother Never Taught Me-The 7 Things I Wished I Had Known About Finding Happiness and sent it off to a panel for review and comment. I had thought that the prevailing emotion that I would feel was that
I’m going to mix things up a bit and do something a bit different:
I’m recommending my own journals for this week’s Saturday Selection!
I’m so excited to share them with you – they are such a huge part of my life. So, please let me introduce you to one of my passions:
When Dan and I started our eco gift company, This Is It! Creations, seven years ago, we began by creating pretty journals.
Each Friday, I usually choose one of your questions and do my best to offer guidance and support to help you along your journey.
But I had so much fun last week asking a question that I’m going to do it again! I would love if we could all look within our souls and find the answer. If you feel comfortable doing so, I would love for you to leave your answer below.
Here is this week’s question:
What is the best advice your soul has ever given to you?

Have you ever run into someone you would’ve been okay with never seeing again? Someone who had less than pure motives for your relationship – someone who betrayed you? We all have a past, and today I ran into two people from mine.
And while I didn’t stop to chat with them, and I’m not even entirely sure if they recognized me, it still shook me up a bit.

I will be the first to admit that keeping up with it all and still managing to find time for myself is one of my greatest challenges – and I know that I’m not alone in this.
We want to do it all. And yet it’s impossible, isn’t it? But we still push forward dreaming of the day when we will

I am nice.
Really. I am so good at being nice. For most of my life this has served me very well.
This niceness.
It’s easy to get along with others when you are nice. You have lots of friends when you are nice. People mostly like you…when you are nice.
I think my first lesson in niceness began in the womb. My mother has a deep seated belief that girls should be respectable and polite. They should follow directions and obey all of the rules.
I have a secret to share:
Before I started blogging, I rarely read blogs.
It’s true.
It wasn’t that I had an aversion to them – they simply weren’t on my radar. I hadn’t been exposed to them – I didn’t quite understand them.
