It’s been awhile since Lisa or I have posted. Life has been very busy and unfortunately, our writing and our hustle at Two Working Mamas gets pushed the side. We both hate when this happens because we love sharing our thoughts with you all. But, such is life and we’re getting it together so here’s a fresh & new blog post.

Today, I’m talking prayer. I had a dream about my dad the other night. In my dream I was so happy to see him, he was lively, we were having a conversation, about what, I can’t be sure. All I know is he had so much to say, but I couldn’t hear him. There was so much noise all around me. I kept turning my ear to try and listen, but the noise (cars, vacuums, you name it, I heard it) was so.damn.loud. I finally looked at him and said, I can’t hear you, dad. I was so sad when I woke up because this was the first dream I’ve had of my dad since he passed where we were having a face to face conversation and I couldn’t hear the message he was trying to give me. I went about my day and the dream stayed with me, I could not stop thinking about it. I wish I knew what he was saying. That afternoon, I decided to sit in silence and meditate. Prayer and meditation to me are one in the same so I may use them interchangeably throughout this post. My meditation time is my prayer time. I started my meditation and as my breathing started slowing down, there was the answer, he was telling me to turn down the volume. Get rid of all the shit, just listen and be silent.

Lately I have been feeling like I’m “growing up” again. Yes, I’m an almost 40 year old woman, BUT my whole life has been spent pretty much pleasing others and doing what has been expected of me.  Nowadays, I’m speaking up more, I’m saying no to things, activities and especially people who take away from my peace. It’s a beautiful thing. However, lately, the chatter of others and most annoying, my doubt, have been creeping in. He was simply telling me to turn down the volume and listen to my heart. Tune out the noise, if you can’t turn the volume down, you can’t hear the message.

Last week, I was feeling all sorts of crazy between work, my extra projects, my daughter’s birthday & all my mom duties that my time was limited so I didn’t meditate and talk to God like I usually do. My dream was a beautiful message to get back to where my power lies, in prayer.

Find the time to be with yourself and talk to God (or the universe or your spirit guides; whoever you feel compelled to pray to) and ask them for guidance, they will not let you down. They are always there to be a listening ear and to help guide you if you ask for it. Most importantly, prayer is where your divine power is. Tap into that power and see things change in a magical way.

Sending you all so much love & light,

Daniella
