Took Friday off and went to visit my sister, Renee, in Chicago over the weekend. Took my mother and Gavin with me. Not THAT bad of a drive.  Just the mere fact that your traveling with a 2 year old can make it a challenge.  It’s always good to see my sister and the girls.  We took a couple side trips to see the progress on the house they’re having built in Indiana, also went to a waterpark.  The house looks great, can’t wait to visit her there, plus it’ll cut and hour and a half off the drive.  I’m happy for my sister, she’s getting a great house, I just hope she’s happy.

So while I was there, I ended up reading this book that my mom wanted me to read.  It’s called, Embraced by the Light by Betty J. Eadie. What an amazing book, I could not put it down and ended up reading the whole thing in a little over 2 hours the first night at my sisters.  In it the author describes her near-death experience with the spirit world before returning back to earth. So much of it made sense, so much of it brought to light some of the things I’ve always wondered about.  After reading it, I went to bed, curled up next to my son Gavin and whispered in his ear.. "Thanks for chosing me.. "  The explaination she gives on reincarnations makes perfect sense. I’ve always had these dreams of another life and could never figure out where they came from, now I know.  In looking at the book reviews on Amazon, some might disagree that this is an actual account of what happened to the author when she had her ‘out-of-body’ experience.  Whether it be true of false, after reading it, I had a better sense or understanding of ‘who I am’ or ‘why I’m here’… in all truths, it strengthened my faith, regardless of denomiation.  If you’ve read this book, please let me know what you think of it.
