dream analysis

The sun beams triumphantly down on a golden plain with a tranquil blue river running through it. Puffy clouds flank the sun on either side, blue mountains in the background and the plain is dotted with trees and wild flowers. A white bird is skimming the river.

The Debby-cation Silver Lining

Of course, without going into personal details too much, I was surprised how well dream interpretation applied to this situation. There are a lot more details , and it captured a compelling narrative: The message from my existential vacation through a tropical depression was that, I was now entering a cleansed state, filled with the

The Unexpected Arrival of Debby

This all started out as a plan to take the family down to Myrtle Beach for some time at the beach. It was simple: load up an RV, drive for a day, and tap into power of the sandy, ocean beach to recharge the batteries of our soul, while glamping, grilling and ditching electronics for
