Oh thank you for sharing the beautiful dream. If I had read everybody’s lists before posting mine, mine would have to include dreams too.

You reminded me of my great-grandmother braiding my hair once - thanks. And I’m reeeaaallly glad you aren’t a natural born youth leader. Those people just scare me.

Ha ha!

one of my fond girl-hood memories is of my grandmother braiding my hair. with palsied hands she gently braided 3 braids on each side. then braided the 6 braids into 2 braids. her hands were so gentle and loving.

when mom used to braid my hair, she braided it to stay and pulled hard.

when mammaw braided my hair, she was simply saying, “i love you.”

Ah, a fellow dreamer. Curious place, the other side, isn’t it? And isn’t it funny how our true callings can sometimes be those things that terrify us? Great list.

I got goosebumps reading about your dream of the woman braiding your hair. What an incredibly nurturing and loving message to receive in your dreams!
