Oh! Prosperity! Thank you so much for your post! I think now I DO know what she meant about finding the "key". Ki, as in Reiki! Yes, I had just started reading about Reiki when I had this vision! And yes, my mother has passed about 14 years ago. It was a pun! And she was very witty like that. And yes, I can understand the laughter now. No, I didn't feel like it was derisive laughter, and I was laughing too, like I understood why we were all laughing.. but after I was back here, I did not understand. Now I do though.
Yes, Mama, I found the "ki". Thanks for pointing me in that direction!
