As behind the scenes work was taking place to figure out how to do the JACKETS program, Tambra had a dream which she shared with me.   You really may need a kleenex handy when you read this, and it is such a telling story of how many of us are feeling as we reach out to try and make this a reality.
 

In Tambra's own words........ with minor editing by me

As the dream started, I was walking around picking up pennies off the ground. (finding pennies has happened frequently since I was a child, gran used to tell me it was spirit trying to talk to me) I kept putting the pennies in a large jar until it was full.

Then suddenly I was on the coast, on the beach, I could smell the saltwater, and feel the wind, it was so real.  My grandmother walked up holding the jacket, which kept changing colors from blue to yellow to black.

She kept pointing at the patch, which was blank while she was walking closer, and in the back ground was the lighthouse.  As I looked toward it then back, the patch was now an oval, with the lighthouse in the middle, with the beach behind it, a small seagull in the background, in flight and words around it, I could not see the words... 

Then for some reason I kept seeing her drawings I have in the closet, only out of the sketch books and framed, (which I hope to do).  It went from that to conversations with different friends I have had, over the last few months, which was bizarre, but most of them are in churches or large companies.  

It didn't dawn on me until later that most of them in the dream were people I was going to contact anyway once you guys had settled on what when and where, most of them would do I'm sure at least money donations.   

Then the dream faded to lots of children wearing the jackets, and laughing.... That was it, the cat jumped on me and woke me up...
