I've Gotta Be Me

Good Morning Fairy World Inhabitors!

Early start today, let's hit the ground running, shall we?

Today's card is Awakening Your True Self. The card's main meaning is "You're beginning to recover your natural identity, including your old sense of humor, interests, passions, and desires. Trust that any confusion or changes you're currently experiencing are part of your healthful evolution."

You know it's funny. As far as we have come in the past few months, discovering all these new things via the fairies and we did not really know what we were missing. Ourselves!

According to the guide book for these cards, while we have been making great strides, we were getting caught up in someone else's idea of a life. Interesting. So now in the midst of all this the "old" us is back and she is ready to kick butt! We are like spring tulips that are breaking ground and are ready to bloom. Same type of tulips as last year, but much more vibrant somehow.

This brings to mind a song with the words that are very fitting:

I've Gotta Be Me

Whether I'm right or whether I'm wrong
Whether I find a place in this world or never belong
I gotta be me, I've gotta be me
What else can I be but what I am

I want to live, not merely survive
And I won't give up this dream
Of life that keeps me alive
I gotta be me, I gotta be me
The dream that I see makes me what I am

That far-away prize, a world of success
Is waiting for me if I heed the call
I won't settle down, won't settle for less
As long as there's a chance that I can have it all

I'll go it alone, that's how it must be
I can't be right for somebody else
If I'm not right for me
I gotta be free, I've gotta be free
Daring to try, to do it or die
I've gotta be me


Today's affirmation "I now give myself permission to be my true self."

Have a great day. Be yourself. Don't forget the fairy dust!

Living Up to Your Standards

Hello Fairy Friends!

I hope all is well with all of you in my absence!

Today we have the card Raising Your Standards. The card's meaning is: "Don't settle for less than your dreams. Once you make the commitment to manifest an improved situation, the Universe will find a way to deliver it to you."

This is an interesting card. The guide book suggests that deep down we know the life we want to live and we keep selling ourselves short with our negative "I can't...", "I don't deserve...", and "It will never happen." I have a saying in my house, "If your think it's gonna suck...it's gonna suck!"

I guess it is all about our level of expectation. Our standards. Do we expect the most out of ourselves or are we expecting to fail? Or do we cop to the attitude that others don't give us their personal best so why should we?

This is a fine line to walk on because are we striving to our personal best, our highest standards for ourselves or others? The answer should be ourselves. Hands down. (Even though I forget myself..often!) And also, do we have high standards because we want to be boastful about it or just because that is the way we live our lives? Told you it was a fine line. lol

Our lives are interesting things to navigate. We can do it naturally, if we would just allow ourselves. Our hearts know what to do. But somehow we let that little gremlin, our ego take over and suddenly it is all for naught. Our lives then go in two different directions. Either we become bitchy (for the lack of a better word) and competitive and end up burning ourselves out trying to navigate the rough waters. Or we just give, convincing ourselves that we will never be good enough for anything and at some point we just stop trying.

I think we forget that either version mentioned above is not life. Life should be down the middle. Down the middle doesn't mean the it is the perfect straight path, because we would not learn our lessons that way. But down the middle means that we steer through our journey with the confidence that any obstacles can and will be handled with the grace and dexterity of the persons that we are. We know what we can achieve and we do. This emanates from us onto others, giving them the confidence to do the same thing in their lives.

We essentially become mentors, guides for each other. We show each other that life, a successful, prosperous life can be lived without all the turmoil.

I think that we all forget what we could have, what we should have. The glorious life of our dreams!

So think about, pray about and leave your heart open. Everything is right there ahead and we don't have to sacrifice our very selves to have it all. We just have to live up to our standards!

Today's affirmation is "I deserve and expect the best in life. I hold high standards for myself."

Have a wonderful day, sprinkled with fairy dust!

We Got the Power..Sprinkled with Fairy Dust!

Attention All Fairy World Inhabitors!

Did you see what is in the etsy store? Did you see? Irene was so inspired by the fairies that she made Fairy Dust!!! Now you can have it for your very own. This batch is a glittery white, a sheer delight, so sprinkle it on everything!!! Get some today.

Today the fairies spoke very loudly and proudly to me (must have been the fairy dust!) the card they sent was You've Got the Power! This card's main message is "Use your abilities to resolve this situation. You can do it!"

What a straight forward message!

The guide book questions if we have been feeling victimized lately because the fairies want to remind us that no matter what the circumstances, we have the personal power, power that is very strong, to conquer any situation. Fairies are only tiny beings, but look at what they can do!

The simple truth is the we have to believe and trust ourselves. We can climb any mountain, cross any river, meet any deadline, have the life of our dreams...if we just believe!

Have a good day my Fairy World friends and don't forget the Fairy Dust!

I Can Almost Taste It!

Good Day to all my fellow Fairy World Inhabitors!

I hope that your day has started well...even better than you expected!

Today we see a new card that we have not seen before which is Your Desire is Within Reach and the cards main message is "Have faith, as everything is working in your favor."

My first reaction is Cool!

I love the feeling of almost accomplishment. There is a certain exhilaration about knowing that you are almost there. The trick though is to keep up the pace because you can revel in the almost for too long and suddenly, you are far, far away!

The guide book reminds us of this by saying that we should keep going with our actions steps as they will take us on the journey to our dreams! Works for me.

So let's keep all those positive thoughts in play, because in the banquet of life, we are sooo close we can almost taste it! Sprinkled with Fairy Dust (Which is very sweet BTW with no calories.)

Have a great day in our Fairy World!

I Know I Can..I Know I Can

Up and AT 'Em Fairy World Inhabitors,

Time to sprinkle the Fairy Dust!

Today's card from the fairies brings us back to visit Affirmations once again. Let's remind ourselves what the card's main message, "To lift up your thoughts and energy, and to attract what you desire, use positive affirmations."

As we spoke about Affirmations earlier in the post "8 Ways to Be Positive" we did not dwell on the words, they actual little prayers we can/should say to ourselves that will feed our spirits and move us forward to manifesting our desires.

Some examples are:

If your desire is to always be in the best of health you could use "Every cell in my body vibrates energy and well being."

If you desire abundance you could use "I know that I deserve prosperity of all kinds and I find prosperity wherever I am."

For weight loss you might use "My body is the perfect weight for me."

You can take any desire and translate that into an affirmation that is perfect for you. This goes back to finding what that true desire is. We have spoken of this before. Actually if you took the time to explore and make a dream board, you have your affirmations right there in front of you!

The important thing to remember is to be positive! You cannot use "I think I will land 3 new accounts this month", won't work. Using "I hope I can land 3 new accounts this month", not a good choice either. Using "I know I can land 3 new accounts this month" is the right choice of words and the right mindset to be in!

Write some of your own. Say they to yourself. Make them a little chant, quietly. It's fun!


Say those affirmations and have a great day! Sprinkled with Fairy Dust!

Messengers From God

Good Morning to All in Fairy World,

I hope your dreams were pleasant and your sleep wash refreshing.

I have this thing happening lately, I think of everything before it happens. Better than that, I toss around a whole topic in my head and the next day I do my usual quiet time with the fairies, shuffle three times, cut the cards and pull out a middle card and there are my thoughts right there in front of me on the card. Now am I being listened to or am I listening and not even knowing it? And the is the third possibility, that is it's a little of both!

We need to sidetrack for a brief moment. We have never really defined who the fairies were. Mom and I like this definition the best, described by Dr. Doreen Virtue PH.D. in her book Fairies 101, "Fairies are angels who reside very close to the earth so they can perform their Divine mission of protecting nature and animals." She goes onto say, "Unlike guardian and archangels, fairies have egos. In this way, they're similar to humans in that they make judgments. When fairies meet you they judge you for how you treat the environment and animals." And one more thought from Dr. Virtue, "Because they're so close to the earth, the fairies can assist you with material concerns involving money, home, health, your gardens, and your pets." So summing that up fairies are creatures from God and like all of God's creatures, they can be/are messengers from God. (Again, God, Creator, Universe all interchangeable in this conversation.)

So the fairies are bringing messages from God. So when I think about a situation and toss things around in my head and I pull the corresponding card the next morning, is God answering my question? Or was I listening to God in the first place and the card I pulled was another part of the conversation? Or is it both?

I have always had this dream to be totally self-employed, earning a living from my creativity. And like I have spoken about before, I have had many starts and many more stops. Things were never just "right". My shop, my paper creations, my creativity are growing by the day. Not at a breakneck speed, but in a way that finally makes me feel like I am coming into my own. Or maybe I was always there, I just had to realize it. Anyway, last night I was inspired to rewrite my bio for my etsy shop. I originally had two lines, one about my family and one about what I like to do. Then after reading some business advice books, I went in to do the revision, figuring I could expand a little. Well an hour later and ( including daydreaming time) I ended up with what I would call my creed, my fundamental belief on what my creations should be. My personal standard in which I will measure my work. My creativity put into words! So I printed out two copies for myself, one for my business plan and one to be displayed in my work area to be guidelines for all my work.

So this morning, I wake up and get my husband off to work and decide to do this post now instead of going back to bed. (It was 4:00 am). I do my usual ritual with the fairies and the cards and look at the card I pulled..Business Venture! The cards main message is "Trust and follow through an a new business idea."

The guide book for the cards expands on this idea to day that I desire self-employment and that my recent business ideas are valid that I can trust my intuition with respect to them. It also says that I should meditate upon my true professional desire as several options are becoming available to me. Furthermore it states that my new business venture will be successful, take action int he direction of my profession dreams and I should trust my gut. Also, write down and act upon my business ideas. Talk about validation form me!

Now for the bigger picture, when I have my quiet time I ask what the collective we needs to know and I pull my card. While I interpret for myself, there are a lot of you out there that this applies to. This is probably the answer so many others were looking for. Like the fairies, I am a messenger from God! Ahhh, but I lack the fairy dust!

On a side note, my daughter will be competing this weekend in dance and we will be staying away from the house. This might disrupt my posting schedule a bit, please bear with me.

To all I wish a great day in our Fairy World with extra fairy dust today!

See You in the Summer!

Good Morning To All in our Fairy World!

How are we today?

I had some great quiet time this morning and I asked what we needed to know today and I drew the card Summer. The cards main message "Everything that you're asking for becomes yours in the summertime."

Okay, so we have had a similar prediction for Spring and this threw me for a minute. Did this mean that we were getting put on a different time table?

Then I thought some more. Our original desires, things we asked for were not getting rescheduled so to speak. We have asked for more and that is what will materialize in Summer! Hooray for us we are building our confidence!

We are regrouping finding our true selves and finding our true desires and asking for more and more. We are manifesting machines! Sprinkled with Fairy Dust!!!

Keep it going, it only gets better from here!

Have a wonderful day in our Fairy World!

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!
