Frangipani: New Month, New Moon, New Beginnings

Ever had that feeling when you're so happy you could scream, well thats my thoughts for this morning, early this morning. Its a new month, a new moon which signifies new beginnings and a solar & luna eclipse are to happen this month, go figure as I'm already feeling the emotional vibes throughout my body, no wonder I want to scream. Where has this past week gone, time seems to be flying by yet I'm so present with each day each minute that I don't notice that the day comes to an end, bizzar. Well this week I've been encouraging my son Sydney to dream journal, that is when he remembers his dreams to write them down and we'll discuss and giggle and I find it so fascinating on what ventures he gets up to while he's sleeping. I myself am a big dream journaler, have been for many years now and so I have this dream journal which I read to Sydney a few of my dreams to give him an idea and now he writes in the same journal, its pretty cool. It's amazing what you'll find out about yourself just by dream journal, anyways I'll talk more about that later I'm sure.

I've been really busy with my bum up and head down organizing for my husbands family reunion coming up August 7th and I'm excited because my parents will be visiting all the way from New Zealand and my 8 year old nephew Duante from Australia and we have great plans set up for them and all our American family here in the buckeye state. With the help of my two fav girls Angie & Michelle, we made homemade buckeye's and Michelle will be making some awesome gluten & dairy free brownies, Angie is my floral setting decorator and I really am appreciative of their help I so depend on their support and creative energy thank you darlings ever so much.

As each day draws closer to my parents arrival I get really emotional, I haven't seen them for 2 years and oh how I miss their company and I know I'm gonna cry big time when I see them come through the gates here at the airport, it will be my dad's first time in the United States and first time to come visit me here so its gonna be very overwhelming to see him, I just miss my dad you know and I can't wait to give him a big hug, he's one of those kinda men of "Steel & Velvet" qualities we all love in a man, he's a man but is very emotional as well and my poor husband has big shoes to fill as of course our fathers are our first man we women have ever loved right. Don't think I've forgotten my mum, we are very close even though we live thousands of miles away I can sense her as if she was right with me, we are that close, and sure enough when I pick up the phone she is thinking of me, so its like we are talking constantly spirit to spirit anyways and I just can't wait to see her as well and give her a big hug and squeeze her, and then there's my cute adorable nephew Duante who is 7 days older than Sydney and those two have an amazing connection and Duante is so grown way beyond his years, I just love him and can't wait to spoil him when he gets here. So a few days of rest for the family so as they can get over their jet lag, it takes approximately 24hours to get from downunder to columbus ohio, and with the time difference they'll just need to relax, eat and relax some more. However I plan on showing them real American things, like take them to eat at Sonics where the servers rollerskate up to the car and take your order, now that's American, visit the Buckeye Hall of Fame Cafe, now thats American, if time allows us a pow wow would be cool and so on and so on. Just driving on the opposite side of the road is gonna be different for them and I can't wait to see Duante's expression when he realizes this is happening, Sydney remembered that when he travelled downunder and found that fascinating that I could drive on both sides, its alot of effort on my behalf but when I remember what country I'm in it comes naturally to me, thank goodness.

Well stay tuned for updates on our family reunion and our visit from family from downunder.
