Connecting with Nature

Hello Fairy World Inhabitors!

I hope you are enjoying this Saturday here in Fairy World.

Today's quiet time brought the card Connecting With Nature. This card's main message is "You're rejuvenated and inspired by spending time outdoors."

It's too cold to spend outdoors, but how about a little nature inside? I think that my next errand out today, I will pick up some fresh flowers and add them to the main table in my house. That way, every time I pass, I will enjoy this small bite of Nature in all her glory.

What about you? I think this card is definitely the follow up to the Spring card, yesterday. We all need some spring right now!

Okay you too, go buy a plant or some flowers, enjoy Nature and all that she can give to you...Sprinkled with Fairy Dust!

Spring

Rise and Shine Fairy World Inhabitors,

It's time to start your day with fairy dust added!

Today's card is Spring. The main message is "Your desires fully manifest as the flowers begin to bloom". Ahhh..what a beautiful thought!

The guide book suggest that the event of spring will bring a birth of everything including our wishes, dreams and the start of natures beautiful cycle.

Spring is such a wonderful time overall. All the green start sprouting from the dark wintered earth. The flowers emerge with their stems standing tall, waiting for the right time to show their beautiful heads in all their glory. Time for all the animals to give birth and add to their families. Such a wonderful time indeed!

Spring is about starting new. The Spring Equinox occurs on March 21 and from an astrological standpoint, this is the true New Year, not January 1. The Spring Equinox is the time to asses the things that we wish to see happen through the rest of the year. It is planting our own seeds to blossom beautifully at a later date!

The fairies love spring as well for all of the obvious reasons. It is the beginning of their season. Time for them to revel and rejoice in nature and their very surroundings! That being said consider planting a fairy garden for your enjoyment and theirs. It will be magical!

Well, my dear fairy friends, I leave you with this thought...keep your thoughts and actions positive as they are the seeds that will soon bloom in your own glorious garden!

Have a great day in our Fairy World, sprinkled with fairy dust!

I Just Love the Fairies

Good Morning Fairy World Inhabitors!

I hope your day is starting spectacular..sprinkled with fairy dust!

Do the fairies know, or do the fairies know? Today's card is New Career. The main message is "Your work focus is shifting in a positive, new, and successful direction". The guide book expands this thought further by saying, the Universe heard our desires for a meaningful and fulfilling profession and is manifesting those desires. By keeping thoughts positive and following your plan of action, by networking and etc., you will see great results!

For me, personally, I am not pursuing a new career, I am finally getting the career that I truly wanted into place. I have always wanted to design things, I have always wanted to work at home full-time. I always had a struggle with the venue in which to sell my wares. And how to network beyond my immediate circle. And how to actually get the plan of action off the paper and working. But I am applying all my ideas and I am rolling!!!

Actually this card overall is so time appropriate, with our current economic conditions. I have heard on the news that the amounts of American who are going back to school to train for jobs they truly love is escalating. People are taking time to figure out what their true desires are and following the steps to make that happen!

I personally believe we are going to see a great amount of people re-emerging from unemployment with careers that are more artisan based in some manner or another. I think that we are all in need of a way to express ourselves emotionally and if you can get paid for that, all the better!

Do what you love, so you can love what you do. If that is not the case, ask the fairies, they will tell you!

I hope this day meets all of your expectations, sprinkled with fairy dust!

Have a great day in our Fairy World!

It truly is a Fairy World isn't it?

Your Wish

Good Morning Fairy World!

I hope you have slept well. I am moving sort of early this morning as my husband just left for work and I think going back to sleep might be counter productive right now.

Today's card is Your Wish is Granted! The main quote is "What you have asked for is coming true".

Wow! My initial reaction is to dig deep and try to figure out what my wish was. I am not trying to be coy or sarcastic, there are a lot of things that I hope and pray for so which one is coming true?

Maybe we should talk about wish for a moment. I am under the belief that "wish" "dream" and "desire", all the things we have talked about over the last week are all the same thing. They are interchangeable. We just have to keep in mind that we have to search deep within ourselves to see what the true meaning is.

So which of my wishes are coming true? Based on my true feelings of peace, contentment and a certain sense of ease, maybe all of them!

The guide book says that "your thoughts are manifesting into form very quickly, so be sure that your silent prayers and spoken words are aligned with your desires and not your fears." What does this mean? Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it! Sprinkled with fairy dust!

Have a great day! Of course you will in our Fairy World!

I'm Asking! I'm Asking!

Good Morning Fairy World Inhabitors!!!

Welcome to another beautiful day in our fairy world! I hope you feel well rested because some little fairies have told me that this is going to be a fantastic day! Sprinkled with fairy dust.

Today's card is Ask for What You Want. The main message is "Let the Universe and other people know what you need". ***Note, for the purpose of conversations the Universe and God are interchangeable.***

The guidebook for the cards goes on to suggest that we have to spend time clarifying our desires and then we ask for them. Always end your request to the Universe with "this or something better. Thank you". You can vocally make your request in a quiet time of prayer, you can build a vision board (there are some great instructions here at Christine Kane's blog) or you can write each request down and put it in a "God Box". All three are great methods. Just know what you are asking for.

While searching to clarify your desires, be sure to refer to yesterday's post about True Feelings, because if you make, for instance "really cool car" as one of your desires, a Corvette is not going to show up. If you realize that you are seeking dependable transportation that you can take pride in, well anything can show up. Also, when I speak of "showing up", I am referring to the set of circumstances that always seem to click that brings you your end result.

The book also suggests we speak with others and let them know what we desire. This is not the "Honey I want a 10 bedroom mansion" talk, this is the "Honey, when it comes to you and me, I would like to work on xyz" talk. The important thing with this element is you have to be prepared to listen as much as you want to be heard.

So what does this all boil down to? COMMUNICATION!!! With yourself, with the Universe, with others. Sprinkled with fairy dust! Isn't life magical?

On a side note I have opened my personal etsy shop that you can find here. All of my goodies are mainly paper, or have some paper element do to my obsession! Take a peek, I have just added some new Captured Fairy Cards that I think you might like.

I am off to sprinkle my own brand of fairy dust, have a great day sprinkling yours!

True Feelings

Rise and Shine Fairy World Inhabitors!

It's a bright Monday morning, time to attack the world with abandon!

I pulled an interesting card this morning, during my quiet time it is Admit Your True Feelings To Yourself. The inscription on the card says "Be honest with yourself. Only you know what it is that you truly desire". The book also suggests that we should be our true selves, we should face our fears head-on and retain our integrity by following the path the we know is right for us. This is a whole lot to look at!

Thinking about what we truly desire, there is always a meaning behind an answer. For instance the person that says they always want to win the lottery or are they really saying they are looking for a life without financial worries and stress overall? The person that says they want to be famous or are they saying that they are looking for public acknowledgment that they are okay, because their self-esteem is lacking?

Truly this is a lot to tackle but always look behind want you want. That is your true self. Myself, I have always wanted the "it" product. Something that I have made that would sell like hotcakes at a craft fair or whatever. You know, strike real gold. I have tried many times, slapping different items together and have failed. What was the problem? I did not look behind for the true meaning. I made things, but did not have full confidence that they were wonderful. And that doubt gives off an aura that repels good things. Mix that with wanting to be accepted and it not happening I had a real mess on my hands!

So how did I solve this? I learned to love the things I made as they are an extension of myself. The only important things is that I am satisfied with the final outcome, how that product looks. I am proud of each piece. I may have some favorites but I love them all. And I am being more intelligent about how to sell my wares. I am not running to every craft fair to sell, I am being more choosy based on the venue and I am exploring a different approaches to reach people. Also, I am making things just to make them, not necessarily to sell them. Where has that gotten me? While I can tell you that life is a work in process, I have been invited to teach some classes at my local park district on card making. That is so cool! I am being true to myself and I feel like I am being sprinkled with magic fairy dust!

So look inside your self today what are your true feelings? Hash that out and put a new plan in action. Not one where you just settle, but one where you feel the fairy dust too. It rocks!

Have a good day and be your true self in our Fairy World!

5 Reasons for Forgiveness

Good Morning Fairy World Inhabitors!

Ahhh...another beautiful morning in our lovely fairy world. It is Sunday, a time for a little extra rest for some, did you get yours?

The snow is through here with a hair over the 4" mark. Even though I do not care for winter anymore at this point, the untouched parts of my yard are quite scenic.

This morning's quiet time led me to pick a whopper of a card! Whom Do You Need to Forgive? This particular card has the message of "As you release old anger or resentment, you will find that your wishes will come true". Whopper indeed.

So to tackle today's topic, I will give you 5 reasons for forgiveness.

1. Holding a grudge is one of the most crippling things you can do. It sucks the life out of you. There is an old saying "If you hold a grudge you should dig 2 graves, one for the person and one for yourself".
2. The person that you are hold the grudge against might not be aware or if they are, they are past it. They aren't losing sleep or raising their blood pressure over it..just you.
3. Life is energy and the grudge blocks that energy. Can you feel it?
   
4. In the big picture of things, someone might have a grudge against you and you are past it or oblivious of it. You forgiving your grudge on someone else will cause a chain reaction of others forgiving theirs. TA-DA! No resentments!
5. It is just a calmer, more serene life to live.

The guide book also suggest that we forgive ourselves. That is a whopper too! Are you holding something in that you did and just cannot get past? Well my friend, right here, right now, LET IT GO! Seriously, can you change the initial action? NO. Can you change to immediate outcome of said action? NO. Can you change to long range outcome of the initial action? Yes, actually you can. If you cannot forgive yourself for something you carry this guilt with you. This will eat you alive, not being able to function guilt that just radiates off you like light in a mirror. How do you go on having healthy relationships if your past guilt is blinding everyone (metaphorically)?

Two other foods for thought.

First, the book suggest to stop judging others. We all make judgments that others would not. Like driving, someone brakes right in front of you. We shouldn't call them the choice name, instead we should quickly acknowledge that the made a decision to do something that you would not. Plain and simple, all done.

Second food for thought stop playing the victim! (As suggested by the guide book). Stop verbally trying to get more mileage out of what so and so said or did, how they wronged you. First take a good look to see what your part was in the whole situation. This goes back to the judging others thing. Were your ears tuned to hear what you thought you wanted to hear, good or bad, and not actually what is being said? And if it were true that the person has really wronged you, write it off and let it go...right there...right then, because it only grows.

Fairies are serene creatures that live a pure life and love nature. They encounter things they do not like, like littering and they encourage you to clean it up. They don't wage a battle against everyone for one person who litters. Let's learn from the fairies.

This was another day that the info just flowed out of my fingers. My hope is that I can apply my own advice on a full time basis!

Enjoy your day in our Fairy World!

It's Gonna Be Alright

Good Morning to all the Fairy World inhabitors,

If you are in my area, you awoke to our fair fairy land is blanketed with snow. oh joy.

Okay, so today's card is interesting, it is Everything's Okay. The main thought is "Don't Worry. It's all working out in a beautiful way".

I know myself we have some big issues in the works that this message is welcomed words of wisdom. What do you have brewing? Does this apply to you?

The little book also suggests the following things-exercise, walk, talk with loved ones or get involved with a creative project, all these things will unburden the mind and the spirit. Also, make a list of things on paper and pour water over them, to wash the burdens away. Also, double check your facts and make sure that your concerns are based on that facts opposed to untrue rumors.

I think the fairies have a handle on this, as I never have seen a stressed fairy, they just take care of business and let it go. It all works out.

There is a reggae song by the artist Sanchez and the main part of the chorus is :"Baby don't worry, It's gonna be alright". I do not think that there is anything that applies better here.

Enjoy your day in our Fairy World!

My True Self

Good Morning Fairy World Inhabitors,

I hope you have woke well rested from your sleep, perhaps with the memory of a few magical dreams?

Today my quiet time with the fairies led me to draw the card Be Yourself. The main thought on the card is "This situation calls for you to be your authentic self, which is the basis for your personal power". Well, if that is not a whole bunch to digest!

Merriam-Webster defines authentic as true to one's own personality, spirit or character. I guess we have to explore who we are to see if we are being true.

So Who am I? Well, I am a loving wife, mother, daughter, daughter-in-law, sister, step-mother, cousin, niece and granddaughter. I am a good friend, though I do not have a lot of friends. I am a caring human being. At times I am opinionated and I get frustrated when everyone else does not see my point of view a brilliant. I am creative and I have a great sense of humor. But these are all character traits, are they the make up of the whole of my spirit? Maybe...

You know, it just occurred to me that I could continue to pick myself apart, almost be overly critical about myself but I am much more than my flaws. I am much more than I probably realize. I am a work in progress. And maybe I cannot define all that makes me up, I just know that I am.

This is like a breakthrough moment for me and perhaps for you. Why do we label? Are we searching for our personal definition that makes us what we are? Should we not realize that we create that definition. That we need no definition. Go with the flow and not only accept where it brings us but bask in it. Enjoy it!

Yesterday on my personal blog, I spoke of the fact that I am having a hard time taking on the "artist" label with my work, that right now I prefer "designer". Essentially it really does not matter. I make cool stuff! Some cooler than others, but cool none-the-less. (Which will be in my personal etsy shop soon, stay tuned).

So to sum this whole thing up...JUST BE! And embrace being. Fairies do. They love being fairies. You do not see them trying to mold themselves into something they aren't. They are fairies and they love it!

You know when I sit down and start writing, I truly do not know where this will take us. It is sort of interesting to see where we end up. Then it all just click and the words pour from my hands. Thanks for reading along.

To all I wish a good day of just being and remember It's A Fairy World!

Change the Diet, Change the Life!

Good Morning Fairy World inhabitors!

I trust all is well with all of you. I am happy to report that the 3 year old DS slept in his own room last night so I awoke with the twists in my back trying to work themselves out.

It snowed yesterday, light, just enough to cover the grass and ground and it is way cold today. But the cool thing is in my yard, I have some undisturbed pretty snow. For a while at least.

After some quiet consultation, I asked the Fairies what today's message should be. I shuffled my deck and pulled the card Dietary Change. The front message is "Improve your diet and your life will also improve" .


I was taken a back? My diet? How could that be? So if I ever had any doubts that fairies are everywhere, I know now. I know that they saw the side order of breaded fried cheese I had with my sandwich yesterday, probably not a good choice. Or the secret, well almost secret stash of Hugs Kisses in my office are not a stellar edition to my eating plans either. Gosh! They know everything!


The little guide book also mentions the body's metobolism is very sensitve and making work harder on bad foods is slowing it down. It might be actually be keeping us away from our true life's purpose.


Actually food sensitivies are a huge discussion in my family. Through the years, we have stopped eating various foods and we have felt well in the process. The problem the outside world. If we lived in a bubble, eating this and not eating that consistently would be easy to do, no outside influence. But when you say cut out dairy and send your kids to school and all they get is pizza at every special event. And you could send extra food, but somehow that makes your child really uncomfortable. And you struggle with what you think is best, telling them to be individuals and yet you want them to fit in to a certain extent. It becomes really trying to figure out how much you stick to your guns. That being said, if it were a total medical situation hands down that is a different situation.


The guide book also says that the fairies have been leading us to this for a while, but we have chosen to not trust the message or just plain not listen. So that stuffed up head that I have today from the fried breaded cheese yesterday could have been avoided? Maybe. Should have been avoided? Definately!!


Like we discussed the other day fairies are fit. I bet they do not have any food sensitivities! We should take heed because after all, It's a Fairy World!


Have a great day everyone!

I Love Me, I Love Me Not

Good Morning my fellow Fairy World inhabitors!

I hope that your slumbers brought good rest to you. I personally had the visiting 3 year old in our bed last night, so both DH and I awoke with twisted backs. But the child slept well and that is all that counts! lol

This morning I asked the Fairies what the collective we needed to know and I drew the card FLOWER POWER. I cannot resist and will get it out of the way, GROOVY MAN! Anyway, the initial message on the card is "Spend time with flowers and flower essences to increase your personal healing power". The guide book suggests that we fill our house with flowers and the fairies want us to use and/or buy some flower essence that is available at the health food store. Things like rose oil or lavender.

What stood out to me about the rose oil was the book went on to say that it would open our hearts to love. Love...healing. The fairies have struck with their wisdom again! If we love ourselves, we heal ourselves!

In this current climate of the world we are all under a strain for whatever reason. We strain to help ourselves, we try to strive to help others. In that way we are showing our love to others. The type of brotherhood/sisterhood love that we all need right now and that is great! But are we loving ourselves?

We are worried about ourselves, our families. We love our families. But are we loving ourselves? Are we reminding ourselves that despite any situation that we are resilient and we can get through anything? Are we moving past the blame of any type of situation and moving toward healing? Do we bask in the hope that will change anything? We always need actions to solve anything, but if we have no hope, what's the point?

The fairies teach us a huge lesson about loving ourselves and hope. They are the protectors of the environment, because that is where they live. They want a wholesome pure home. The environment is where we live. They love themselves, they love their home. Hope lies in the promise of spring and all the beauty it brings to their home, our home. Hope is they work hard to make their home beautiful, make our home beautiful. Hope is the fairies know that somehow we are all hearing and heeding their messages more. They love themselves.

How should we love ourselves? I am sure I could give you a thousand tips to pamper yourself or perk your self up. But I truly believe that you can take some quiet time and listen to your heart. It knows. Believe what your heart is saying. You are that strong. Think of the roses. Smell the roses. And just for good measure, ask the fairies for help!

I am off to take my kids to school in this torrential down pour. Feb. showers bring May flowers!!!

Have a great day and love yourself, you inhabitor of this Fairy World!

Get Some Exercise!?!?!

Good Morning inhabitors (my word) of this Fairy World!

I trust that you slept well and had sweet magic filled dreams. I myself, woke with stardust in my eyes!

This morning, in my quiet moments, I drew a card from the Magical Messages from the Fairies Deck and wouldn't you know it the card was "Get Some Exercise"?

This is funny as I am a rather curvy girl, that card probably applies everyday...but today the main message is very interesting. "As your body becomes stronger, you begin to feel stronger in all ways".

Now, I have never considered my lack of exercise to indicate that I am weak, not a word I like. Unhealthy doesn't do much for me either. I guess I am just a non-exerciser. But they always say there is a mind, body, spirit connection and perhaps that is what being put out to me today. I do have a lot going on (but who doesn't), though things seem to be clicking more for me lately and I feel like getting the little tasks done, to leave time for the fun stuff!!

The advice in the guide books says to take a dance class (my DH has that covered) or do something else physical. Well, there is always laundry!

So what does this mean to you? Is it merely on the physical level that you need to shape up or does that spirit part of you need some exercise to? Better yet, what can you do to to exercise that spirit? There must be something to all this, because have you ever seen a fat fairy? NEVER! They are light and fit and airy and magical. They have a lot of responsibilities. I guess there is a correlation to the whole mind body spirit thing!

Back to what we can do to exercise the spirit. My challenge to you is to just smile at the majority of the people that you come in contact with. Throw a "Hello" or "Have a good day" in for good measure. It will be your own version of sprinkling Fairy Dust!

On that note, I wish you all a good day in our Fairy World!

Welcome to Our Fairy World!

Just wanted to take a minute to say Hello and Fairy greetings to all out there. I am Julie and I will be bringing to you the exciting world of Fairies/Faeries. No matter how you spell it, they are just cool!

Each day we will be exploring messages from the Fairies brought to us via the wonderful oracle cards from the esteemed Doreen Virtue Ph. D. I will give you my thoughts and interpetations of the messages and I hope that you will be giving me yours. Fairies are the coolest little beings that only have the best in mind, so let's see what we learn from them shall we?

In the coming weeks, my Mom Irene will be filling her etsy shop with delightful items, things that you just gotta have and they are all fairy. We will be your place for all things Fairies!

So goodnight for now and remember that IT'S A FAIRY WORLD!
