The Key to Healing

Greetings Fairy World Inhabitors!

Time for a weekend of rest and relaxation!

Today we have drawn the card Emotional Healing. The card gives us the message..."As you heart heals of old emotional pain, you receive new blessings and love."

This card and its' meaning raises the question just how do we deal with past hurts?

We really have two options. We either let it be and see the whole thing take over our lives or we can confront the situation and deal with it head on.

At least by facing the situation head on we had the opportunity to put it to rest. And this does not always mean calling a person up, the "wrong doer" and reading them the riot act. This could be something as simple as keeping a journal and letting all your emotions and feeling spill out within the pages that are yours alone.

Should you feel really comfortable with doing so then by all means, discuss the situation with the other party if possible. The thing you have to remember is that you have to be prepared to hear what the other person has to say about the whole thing. You could get any response from them not even realizing that they have hurt your feelings to hearing that you might have actually caused them pain as well.

Whatever method you choose, the key to healing is getting it out, in one form or another and letting it go. We cannot let past hurts rule our life. We have so much more living to do than existing under the shadow of past hurts.

So think about it and let it all out!

Have a great day sprinkled with fairy dust!

Being You!!

Good Morning Fairy Friends!

Hope all is well in your corner of this Fairy World!

Today we are going to switch it up a bit. We are going back to using the "Magical Messages from the Fairies" We have used this deck before and it is time for a change.

Today's card is Express Your Individuality. This card's main message is "Allow your true self to shine because you are awesome!"



So what does it mean to be an individual? Websters defines it as "existing as a distinct entity." Actually that is really a textbook answer. We all knew that! But what does it really mean?

Our little cartoon up there is the epitome of individual! To me being an individual is being what you want to be. It is a sense of style, how we work and how we present ourselves to the world. There are so many options!

That being said, we have to remember that we do co-exist in this world with a bunch of others. So I guess that we should not be anti-social even though we are individuals. Boy isn't that tough! We have to stand out but fit in.

How do we achieve the perfect balance? My first thought was to say "I don't know." But then a flash went through my head. Respect!

If we are all going to strive to be individual, we cannot judge others as they are different from us. We have to respect that other peoples individuality exists in addition to ours. We also have to respect ourselves to show our true selves and shine the way we were meant to.

So for today, do something to show what you really are about. Mismatch socks, tease your hair standing straight up, talk about fairies to a stranger! Let your self shine!

Now this deck does not give affirmations but I like them so let's add a few of our own. Today's affirmation is "I love and respect my true self. I let my true self shine."

Have a great day sprinkle with fairy dust!

Moving Forward Fearlessly

Hello Fairy World Inhabitors!

It is Friday!!! Though I have to say that this has not been a particularly bad week, but it is always good to see Friday!

Today's card is Moving Forward Fearlessly. This card has the meaning "You are making big breakthroughs in your life by putting your Divinely inspired ideas into action. Trust that you are guided each step of the way."

The guidebook suggests that we know ourselves, we are guided by the Divine and we should trust our gut.

I think that a lot of us fail to do this as we do not trust ourselves. We have talked about this before. We do not value ourselves so we do not trust ourselves. How could we make our own good decisions if we don't respect ourselves.

So trust yourself, love yourself and know that with God whispering in your ear when you need it all of your decisions are gold!

On a side note with regards to moving of fearlessly have you read the story of Connie Culp. She is the first US face transplant recipient. You can read her story by clicking on her name. But what a tremendous amount of self love and confidence she has. She is truly an example to about perseverance!

Today's affirmation is "I move forward fearlessly, trusting that each step I take is perfectly guided."

Have a great day and be liberal with the fairy dust, it is Friday after all!

Expanded Thinking

Hey all You Fairy Friends!

I hope the Monday is starting out well for you.

Today's card is Higher Consciousness. The card's main meaning is "You are receiving guidance from your true self, your higher consciousness, which is one with the Divine universal wisdom. You are listening to love rather than fear."

As we have talked about before, there is a guidebook that goes along with each deck that gives your further insight on the cards. Today the insight begins to explain that we are getting better in tune with all the universe and we are actually getting better messages as the result. It suggests that perhaps we are clearing our minds better, maybe doing yoga or having more nature walks to become more in tune. Or maybe we have "put your foot down to the Universe and have adamantly decided to improve your life."

This notion that we put our foot down to God and said ENOUGH really cracks me up! Who puts there foot down to God? Really? That was my initial reaction.

Then I thought for a second and realized the very act of saying ENOUGH is a turning point. This is the "Okay I get it" phase.

We were built to be problem solvers. Look how man has evolved. Look at all the technology. It is in our DNA. So if we can develop technology that allow me to speak to people around the world at any given time with the click of the mouse and we can have cars that may fly someday, they why can we not straighten out our lives?

The simple fact of the matter is that we do not listen. Mostly to ourselves. We search for answers, picking stuff apart, looking for the deeper meaning. Looking for a better message. But like we have spoken of before, everything we need, ever, is right inside of us right now.

You might say, well I want to improve my living conditions. Where is the new house inside of me? The physical item might not be, but the ability to make a new house is there, right inside of you. The same goes for anything material or financial. The ability to manifest it all is right there within you.

The tricky one is love. I know that a lot of people are searching for it. They are looking for a mate or just the love of family and friends. But it seems that most are looking for love. The fact of the matter is it is right inside of you.

If you are so desperately searching for that love, then really you must take a real hard look at yourself, because you don't love yourself. It is that simple. And if your are having a hard time with the person that you see in the mirror each morning, what do you think the rest of the world is doing?

Like attracts like. It is a proven fact. You know the magnets and opposite poles and all of that. If you don't find yourself worthy of love than who else will? Initially that statement might sound cruel, but it is not really. But if you won't bother with yourself than who will?

Many moons ago when I was in management training for one of the fast food chains, I was having trouble getting my hourly shift responsibilities done. It was becoming a constant problem, to the point that the area supervisor sat me down. I knew I was in trouble, almost sweating it that I would walk out of the meeting with a job. He looked at me and asked "What are the qualities that you consider make up a good boss?" I answered, giving a list and my thoughts behind each quality. I saw him taking notes. It got quiet. He was taking more notes. Then, he tore of the bottom half of the sheet of paper and handed it to me. There printed in capital letters was the list of my answers. He said "Now put this on your mirror at home. Every morning while you are getting ready for work, read this list and remind yourself that you are all of these things. You expect these things out of your bosses, shouldn't your employees expect them out of you?" (Okay so I didn't get fired, but did leave the job when I ended up moving out of state).

The fact is we expect a lot from people, but do we expect them from ourselves? And when people don't come through with our "expectation" Do we blame them or us? We more than likely blame the other person, "because they just don't get me" or we blame ourselves with the martyr "I guess I will toil along forever because no one understands."

Blame and fault are strong words, ones that I do like like to use often along with guilt. But truly it is our fault. We are the ones to blame. But do not play the martyr and feel guilty. It really is about a shift in consciousness and the qualities that we expect from others should be reflected in ourselves. But it takes work.

Lots of work and the change won't happen overnight. We cannot demand that we change our selves. Like we cannot demand that someone else treats us differently. All that theory that the loudest gets served first is a bunch of BS. Because there is a price to pay for being demanding. Anyway, this why the whole "putting our foot down" thing is so funny. Do we look ourselves in the mirror and say, "I demand that you be smarter today!"? No of course not. We should look in the mirror and remind ourselves that we are very intelligent. See the difference?

So if you care to take a minute and make a list of the things that you think that you are missing from your life. Is it love, is it money, is it respect? Under those items list the qualities of those things like beauty, compassion, abundance, and caring. Each morning take your list and put "I AM" infront of each word and say out loud while looking in the mirror. "I am beautiful." "I am caring." "I respect myself." "I am worth it." Any word your chose has power for you. You will know.

Hey if you don't believe your own press who will? (don't you just love metaphors?!?!)

Today's affirmation is "I easily hear and understand the inner voice of spirit."

Have a great day and sprinkle extra fairy dust, you deserve it!

Harmony in The Family

Good Day to my Fairy World Friends!

Hope to the sun is shining in your corner of this fair fairy world!

Today's card straddles a subject that a lot of people just do not want to deal with. The card is Family Harmony. The card's main meaning is "Your relationships with family members are healing. As you hold loving thoughts and feelings about the souls involved (including yourself), you experience genuine harmony within your family."

Well if this isn't a powder keg. In fact without details, this card hits so close to home that I almost spit out my coffee when I drew it! lol

I cannot imagine a family unit on the face of this very beautiful earth that does not have at least one member that is the outcast/troublemaker. By the very nature of the human personality, we are not built to be all best friends. Even if we do share DNA or a last name. It is just not possible/practical. Having said all that how do we cope?

I do not know if there is a solid answer to this one at all. Actually if we had the perfect answer, we would solve world peace. World Peace!?! How does family interaction relate to the whole wide world being peaceful? Need I remind you about the Hatfields and the McCoys?

The thing that I am trying on for size right now is the acknowledgment that that everyone is different. Okay so? We have to accept their differences with us and acknowledge their right do run their lives in a manner other than we run ours. We don't have to like it. We don't have to approve. But we do have to accept. (Like I said, this is new for me too!)

"So I have to accept Uncle Harold is more rambunctious than the rest of us and always hits us for money, and he should have to be a regular for Sunday dinner?" Yes and No

Yes you have to accept that is how he chooses to run his life. Might not be what you would choose, but it is still his choice. and No, he doesn't have to have a seat at the table every week, maybe even never. Whom you have in your home and how you run your life is your choice.

You know, there is another side to this whole thing. The family members that we do not exactly care for probably think our life is nuts as well. That thought actually cracks me up! But it really rings true, especially the ones that are so polar opposite of us. How could they have a relative that is so boring and mundane? Who doesn't belch in the middle of dinner like a three year old? If they are smart, they can accept that our choices are different as well.

Acceptance without judgment is the key to this all I think. We accept that they choose a different life from us and they accept that we choose a different life from theirs. And while we might not be frequent dinner guests at each others houses, at least when we interact, it will not be as stressful.

So this is a lot to mull over, but I think we can do it!

Today's affirmation "I see the goodness within each member of my family. My family life is harmonious and filled with joy."

Have a great day, sprinkled with Fairy Dust!
