I just finished thumbing through my dream journal. I reviewed my dreams and dream-visits of the past six years. I am struck that I haven’t recorded many dreams that were not dream-visits from loved ones who have passed-on.
It seems that I have visited more with my mother and father than anyone else. My Aunty Cal and my friend Naji, probably come in right behind them.
Perhaps those we love the most, remain the closest in connection with us, after they pass. I only came to this realization in reviewing the entries for the past six years.
Having said that, I must mention that I also visited with acquaintances too. And we were obviously comfortable visiting with each other and indeed, happy to be together again.
It reminds me of finding old school mates or folks that were around when we grew up. We may never have been involved closely or had much in common. But rediscovering each other later in life is like finding a long-lost family member. It is a joy.
Reviewing those dream-visits with my loved ones who have passed-on, has given me a lovely sense of peace. I wish this peace for all of my readers, too.

As a toddler, Sue Baumgardner made up stories for herself looking at books she could not read and later spun tales for her younger sisters. After she had her own children, she told them tales and eventually wove a new pattern into the fabric of their lives. As the three sat together, one would begin with a story idea of her own. She spoke perhaps a paragraph or two or three, then pointed to the next who would take up the thread and continue with her own evolution of the story line passed to her, until she pointed to the next. The third person wove her own ideas into the story progression. After the three each had a turn, anyone could end the story, in their turn, whenever it felt complete to them.
After her children were adults, Sue studied writing, first poetry and then prose. After six semesters in adult education, she was thoroughly hooked on the story art form. Sue continued with dozens of classes, seminars and writing retreats. She studied writing and publishing under the likes of James Patterson, Peter Behrens, and Mark Dawson.
As a contributor to the Discover Maine Magazine, Sue received her first check for her prose.
Her poetry has been published in The Aurorian.
She has six of her paperbacks along with four ebooks published. They include fiction and nonfiction for adults and fiction for Middle Readers.
Her very first publishing though began with Greeting Card Universe, where Sue’s greeting cards with verse are sold across the world.
