I had a terrible dream last night…..I gave Sophie away.<br/>Don’t know where that came from. I feel such guilt for having that<br/>thought in my subconscious ! Somebody through work took her & changed<br/>her name to Snookie….</p> </blockquote> <p>The email continued on for a bit.</p> <p>So now, I ask, what is the interpretation of a dream like this? A dream where Snookie is involved? What does this dream <i>really</i> say?</p>http://blog.coleimperi.com/post/434805501http://blog.coleimperi.com/post/434805501Mon, 08 Mar 2010 10:44:58 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kyn3wioSeu1qak6auo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://applefuzz.tumblr.com/post/421477191/for-all-the-cheap-people-who-have-photoshop" target="_blank">applefuzz</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>For all the cheap people who have photoshop.</p> </blockquote>http://blog.coleimperi.com/post/434798326http://blog.coleimperi.com/post/434798326Mon, 08 Mar 2010 10:39:08 -0500<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kyy2vzxQzg1qzojxjo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>A photo from last weekend, edited on the iPhone.</p>http://blog.coleimperi.com/post/433866617http://blog.coleimperi.com/post/433866617Sun, 07 Mar 2010 22:55:04 -0500me<p><b>This weekend I saw:</b></p> <ul> <li>My mother-in-law and step-father-in-law get married at a beautiful, candle-lit ceremony at home.</li> <li>My Father officiate at their wedding.</li> <li>A detailed memory replay in my mind. I remembered that just over two years ago my Father did the very same thing at my husband and I’s wedding.</li> </ul> <p><b>Last weekend I saw:</b></p> <ul> <li>My husband’s family come together from all parts of the country to lay Victor’s Aunt Cindy to rest. Cindy was the eldest of the ten Imperi siblings. </li> <li>An absolutely fantastic celebration of the Imperi family. Despite the very sad occasion, we made the best of it. And it was fun. And Cindy would have been happy.</li> <li>A family grieve together. Picture dozens and dozens of family members crammed into a kitchen and dining room each taking a moment or two to share a memory of Cindy or a lesson learned from Cindy’s magnificent life. We openly cried, reflected, laughed and hugged. </li> </ul> <p><b>In between I saw:</b></p> <ul> <li>My husband and I. We have a wonderful life ahead.</li> <li>A new business venture move even closer to completion.</li> <li>A best friend I can never thank enough.</li> <li>A sister I am grateful for.</li> </ul> <p>Every single week that passes us by is full of changes and growth. Sure, most weeks, you don’t see the change. Others, the change is front and center.</p> <p>Be thankful for the change and growth in your life and take a moment to reflect upon it, and soak it all in.</p>http://blog.coleimperi.com/post/433728939http://blog.coleimperi.com/post/433728939Sun, 07 Mar 2010 21:50:33 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kytss2rLha1qzojxjo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Driving through Tollesboro, KY was brief yet serene.</p>http://blog.coleimperi.com/post/428777816http://blog.coleimperi.com/post/428777816Fri, 05 Mar 2010 15:24:57 -0500travel<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kytp934sXN1qzojxjo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>We just stopped at a Kwik Shoppe on the AA-Highway.
