I am having a weird day...kind of off. Not bad at all...but I don't quite feel like myself either. I had an awful nightmare about my little one getting abducted. It seemed so real...still feels real right now actually. I told her about my dream and she asked me...what do I do if someone does take me. *GAH!!!* What do you say to that? I told her to do everything she can to get away. But if she can't..then to pray and remain calm (I dunno what do you say to that!?). Good Lord. Sorry about that...but this is where I am today. That deep dark place in my mind that I don't want to face. But I can't ignore it either. Blech! This is the curse of being a Mother... I swear I never knew fear before I had children.
OK...sorry for the downer post. Let's move on shall we!
But on a good note I did my fist card drop today. The folks at Kind over Matter suggest that dropping notes with kind words is a great way to spread more happiness and love in the world (I totally agree). So I wrote "You are totally Awesome" on a pretty little post it and stuck it in a box of Juicy Couture boots (how cute are those boots...). Hope it brightens someones day! (sorry the pic kind of sucks...but I only had my cell phone and I was trying to be "incongnito" so I had to take the photo very quickly).
Now I think I need to mediate. Or watch a funny movie. Hmmmm...Knocked Up could be good about now....

Caroline, I think YOU are totally awesome. I love how real your posts are. I love the idea of dropping a kind note also. Keep sharing your off days.
fun word drop.
hope the day gets better - and yes, that is an awful fear but I think the dream is for you to work through it, right?
anyway - I know about bad dreams. and it's hard to shake them sometimes. hope tonight is much better too.
I love the note dropping idea....I'm going to keep a pen and notepad now in my purse....
those questions from the kiddos are never easy...word drop sounds fun!
ack! what a terrifying dream! they can really shake you up! i hope tonight brings laughter and PLEASANT DREAMS! it better!
I always say I need to watch a Doris Day movie when I feel like this. Yes, you need an uplifting movie.
And those boots are really cool.
My worst nightmares always always involve not being able to save children. The scariest ones I have always involve children and I wake up in a sweat and try to go back to sleep to save them in my dream.
L♥ve notes are the best! Especially unsigned.
Having children changes everything. It got better as mine grew older. But now there are grand-babies, and I fear all over again, especially in today's cruel world.
God said that whatever is good, pure, etc., to "think on these things." I try to do that. To give my fear over to Him. To let the prayers to cover me. But it's so difficult.
Ugg Not nice at all. I agree that tonight you have to turn into Super Mom in your dream and chase away that nightmare for good. Attract safety and protection!! Teaching kids safety isn't easy. You want them to be safe but you don't want to scare them so bad they are afraid of everything. Tough, tough world out there and even tougher being a Mom. You sound like a Super Mom already!
As for the Notes, Fabulous! Everyone needs random kindness in their lives. Smiles do make the world go round don't ya know!
Love and Light, Nina P
Oh I know just how you feel. I've only had a few of those kind of nightmares in my life, but they just hang over me and make me feel that something is wrong. Hope you watched a funny movie and got rid of that feeling. laurie
I don't think you need to brighten someone's day if they have just bought those boots ! they will already be happy! ;o) But i think the card drops are fab - I'm going to have a go when I have time. Sorry you are feeling off - and your dream is just your mind going over 'possibilities' - and that's all it is. Nothing is going to happen to your sweet child. Try not to worry. May angels enfold you in their wings.
Hi there Caroline, I can totaly explain your dream. I have those sometimes too about my oldest one. And when ever do have it so very vivid...changes are taking place in his life. New steps are gonna be taken by him (and me, to let go). Hope this helps you a bit. And yes they are very awful to have those dreams because the're so realistic.
And what a good thing to do with the boots. You are a sweetie.
HUGE FAN of yours!!
I appreciate your honesty so much...I have such little time to log on and read -but your post always show me to make time...because they are so enlightening! Must say...did you have a professional hand model pose for that pic? Hummm...could be a new calling for me! Keep up your great gifts!
