I have been manic shopping for Joe's "formal" Christmas Party, it is at a 5 star resort. He went and bought a very nice 3 pc suit. So that leaves me, with wtf???? I have looked at evening gowns, dresses, etc. I CAN NOT wear my stiletto's as I once wore, due to bad arthritis in my feet, so therefore I think a dress is out. I have shopped for weeks looking for the Right outfit.

When my brother died 7 years ago from Cystic Fibrosis, I ask to show me a sign that he was OK, in the form of dimes. Over the years I have found many dimes!! When I was in a 7 yr. relationship, abusive, I prayed to my brother to show me a sign that leaving him would be OK. One day almost to the end I was doing laundry at the laundry mat and when I opened the dryer door.... 3 dimes dropped at my feet, I swear!!

After trying on hundreds of outfits, and hating myself and everything I tried on...... today........ I found a very nice red blouse, with jeweled cuffs, and picked out a pair of very nice dress slacks. I knew the blouse, minus the jeweled cuffs was plain, but I tried it on. The Very first thing I have tried on that I actually liked!!!

BUT..... When I went into the dressing room to try on 101 outfits, I kicked off my shoes, I looked down, and there laid a single dime!!! I bought one of those drop necklaces and it completes the outfit. Perfect!! I brought it home and tried it on for Joe and he loves it. I swear my brother hear's me and was showing me that this was the final outfit. Just wanted to share...

Made me seriously cry, I have tried on so many outfits, and nothing looked right, This outfit I knew was simple, but could embellish, and I did and worked out perfect!

that is why 7 years ago I ask for dimes, something different, and I could go on for day's where I have found them. Especially when I pray to him for guidance! We were very close I was 8 yrs older and when he was born and diagnosed I basically helped my parent's raise him due to terminal illness.

Watch for the "signs". They are not happenstance. It is real especially around Christmastime! Believe me I have seen it time and again. Enjoy and good for you.

Kelly, you are so beautiful, whatever you wear, you MAKE the outfit...
not the other way around. I love simple & classic, you'll stand out in
the 'overdone & way too much' things worn these days. Please share
pics of both of you enjoying yourselves!

So touching the love and special closeness you share w/ your Brother,
and yes, he watches over you until you are with him & loved ones again.
