A hug: I had a dream last night I was back in a corporate setting, and the joke was everyone knew I was never there or doing the work (the story of my life, of course). A woman who was superior (well, name one who isn’t, really?) came to my desk and joked with me about my absences and my never even knowing the correct day or where my actual desk was located. But, she seemed caring, not just some boss. In the dream, she gave me her phone and told me to call and listen to some voicemail message. As I did so (the message I don’t remember – something comforting with cat voices … is that a term – cat voices?), she did something I never saw coming at all. She leaned in over me and hugged me and cradled my head near her heart. In that moment in the dream, all my real-life fears, and insecurities, and my remaining self-loathing, and my hang-ups, and my jealousies, my deepest pain … all of it, just went away. And, all was replaced with a kind of love that cleared the field of all those feelings that keep people from playing the game of love because they know all too well the pain that awaits them. It was a dream. But, that love felt so real. I almost cried, because my soul needed something so bad “I” didn’t know I needed at all. … A hug. Even a hug from a caring woman in a dream who represents all the energies to which you are drawn. Can you imagine a real-life one? My silly point: If there is someone you know who is in deep pain, don’t ever underestimate the power of a hug. It has magical powers that won’t be found on the operating table or by serious expert doctors and scientists. But, it is probably more saving to somebody than a million pills could ever be. Hug somebody today if you feel there is an impulse to do so, and if you feel it is safe to do so in terms of the energy of things. To someone reading, you know I so wish it were me! And, if you do hug, be that someone where somebody will say of you, “When she hugged me, I really knew I had been hugged.” As over-the-top as it sounds, you can save a life and never know it with something so simple as a word, a gesture, or a hug. I love you! 🧡🌟🙂🐈 Smile today!
