Dreaming Song …

is the name of my Blog.  I hope it will inspire you to live a natural and healthy life.  Women’s Health and Beauty is a topic we all care about - for themselves and in their Homes.  More specifically, it’s about Healthy Living, Intuitive Home Design, and about my own life as a "resistantly" aging Baby Boomer.  I hope the stories and ideas about "healthy aging and ageless beauty" will inspire you to DREAM for BIG things to happen in your own life.  

Here’s the story behind the name … and as you read it, you might enjoy listening to
 Izzy Kamakawiwo’ole’s song, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow".

Many years ago I lived on the Big Island of Hawaii.  It was often that we came upon a rainbow - right upon us, in fact.  Truely, it was like passing through emerald green daylight.  While there, we listened regularly to Hawaiian music, and especially loved Izzy’s music.  My favorite song is his medley, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and "What a Wonderful World".  It seems most appropriate to feature his song in this post, especially in response to my previous post, "The Rainbow Connection". 

I came upon the expression, "Dreaming Song", in the movie, "Austrailia". The reason I was drawn to it was because of the beautiful, magical connection Baz Lurhmann created between Lady Ashley and Nullah throughout the movie, and his linking of the song, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" to that expression . 

First she told him the story about the far-away land and sang him the song. It was a song that gave him a reason to stop mourning, and begin a new "story".  Nullah called it, “The Dreaming Song”, and it never left him from that point on.  

"The dreaming song” connected their hearts together.  Whenever they parted, he said, “I’ll sing you to me, Mrs. Boss”.  The song penetrated the "noise of their lives" and reminded them to hope together, for each other … for a new story.  

Since it’s important to name your Blog, I decided to call mine, "Dreaming Song".   "Dreaming Song" is a Blog that encourages us to make our Lives & our Homes naturally Beautiful, Healthy & Happy.  

It’s also about my life experiences, especially as a home design Consultant, natural health & beauty Advocate, resistantly aging Baby Boomer, new Author, photoshop Dabbler, country music Enthusiast, and reality show "Philosopher".

My hope is that "Dreaming Song" will connect us to each other, and allow us to weave our hopes and dreams together.  I’m sure we’ll have lots of good "stories", and learn how to sing them out into the far-away lands.
