"Dreams"

I was very happy to be with a group of people that were all nice + comforting to be with. One man showed us a home movie of him doing a sort of battle like dance with a bison.

We were all on a beautiful island with hundreds of people. My friend from high school was with us + after the man showed us the clip + talked for awhile I guess we all went to sleep. When I woke up I stepped out of the room and headed toward the bathroom. All of the people on the island were very attractive + I felt good to be among them. I felt something strange in my mouth like my tooth on my left side was loosining. Panic set in + I tried to keep calm. I reached a mirror + was horrified to find my front teeth falling out.

I pressed them back in + went out to the beach where there were many people. I noticed dolphins swimming + decided to swim. I met a dolphin + its stern was soft. It talked to me + gave much sympathy. I'm careining (Careening) a little right now I know I'm gonna be alright and I also know Ive made mistakes and missed maneuvers which may have taken me a

I'm generally either "on" or "OFF", in that you may think of me as outgoing, but just as often, im really quite reclusive in nature. And enjoy time alone with my own thoughts to keep me company. ...now ya know:) Professionally, I am a Housing Counselor with a nonprofit organization in St. Louis. I joined the justinePETERSEN organization, just a week or so after Daniel passed away. He himself had urged me to pursue the "nonprofit" aspect of real estate, and JP at that time was actually located along "McCree Ave" yet another sign it was the right place for me.

Heaven's Ahead Mister~Just Do What you Do www.DanielMcCree.Org February 1, 2011 Notes from the Editor: February is here, and the cold has not only set in, but makes the bones brittle under the warmthstealing winds. So in the past few months, so many things have come to pass, and much of the routines I have held for nearly 4 years has come to a rather abrupt change. In the days leading up to the path diversion I came accross this quote... which Daniel wrote in 2005. It along with a better known quote, really guided me through some decisions that could not be made without careful reflection. "...Reparitions bestowed upon soluble society and chunks for monkeys; Heavens ahead mister. Just do what you do..." D.McCree (2005)" My own personal interpretation, simply leads me to know in my heart that the right decisions are not without challenge, and that chunks, while hard to swallow, are indeed life-sustaining. Okay, enough bush beating... Many of you may already know that at the end of January, I felt called to resign my position at justinePETERSEN. A job I began just weeks after Daniel's passing in 2007. The "JP" Family was such an amazing and supportive environment to work in, and a chapter I was very reluctant to close. That being said, I am excited and faith-challenged to announce my newest venture, SmartChoice Center. Actually a side-project/ hobby I began with my former partner Chad back in 2005. Over the past few years we would often turn to this project for a little extra income, as well as the expertise needed to create such places as www.DanielMcCree.Org & BellevillePride.com. I dont think either of us would have imagined that in 2011, I would turn to the project as a full-time career. I must admit that at least in the first month, things are indeed


terrifying but arent the most exciting adventures? So for those of you who's ongoing support make this endeavor possible, I thank you from the deepest root of the vine. I shall continue to listen for that voice we all know, that often can be rather demanding-Or at least absolute in "sureness". Please join me on Facebook and online: www.SmartChoiceSTL.com Your ongoing love and support is always appreciated. "A jewel never wants to reside from its post and they say this but whats a jewel, a person who needs to be there, the day melded, a few riduclous moments, some laughter and i nervously laughed and joined in the melody.
