Happy Friday night, August 1, 2025. If you live long enough, you have experiences that “speak volumes…” Case in point, I was driving to see a new practitioner in Portland. On my way there, I was wondering if working with her was going to be as successful as I hoped. Shortly, after inwardly asking that question I noticed an unusual sign painted on the back of a delivery van. It was far in the distance. As I drove other cars went in other directions, turned off the highway as everyone does. Eventually the van was right in front of me.
If you look closely at the photos I managed to snap (while “sitting” in stopped traffic) you’ll see the sign that peaked my interest. It affirmed that my question had a positive answer. At least I took it that way.
“DREAM BIG” affirms (to me, at least) that the potential for healing was definitely in the mix in working with this new person. So how did that appointment go? Fabulously. After an hour receiving the gentle therapy known as Feldenkrais, my lower spine released. I was pain-free for a full 30 minutes, a rarity in my physical body.
Waking dreams are not unusual. They often appear when our minds and hearts are clear enough to ask questions without attachment to outcome.
