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!

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!

That Little You Inside

Good Morning My Friends!

Welcome to a great Friday in our fairy world!

Today I picked an interesting card, Inner Child. The main message for this card is "Just as you take care of small children by listening to them, playing with them, and hugging them, so does your inner child yearn for nurturing. This card also asks you to have patience with yourself, as you are growing and maturing at your own pace."

The guide book suggest we should see ourselves as the perfect us, as we are children of God. Looking beyond our perceived flaws, what a concept!

This is interesting to me because in this commercial society we are bombarded with messages, things we should do for ourselves, buy for ourselves, acquire for ourselves because we deserve them. The essence of their message is true, we do deserve the best life we can make for ourselves, but where their message is flawed is that retail therapy is not the answer!

My kids do all kinds of things when they want attention. The usual occurs, they talk louder, ignoring any other conversation that might be taking place, maybe scream, maybe even start some other commotion with one of the others just to make them front and center. I know what they are doing and their actions are dually noted, with me as a parent trying to walk that fine line of not having the child feel neglected but also giving them a sense of self so that center of attention is not so important. Fine line, more like tightrope and no net!

Anyway, looking at our inner child, I think as individuals we are more brutal. We tend to push back, ignoring it's needs, pleads and cries. We actually try to squelch all existence of that child at all. We are forgetting who the child is!

Children need to exercise, mentally and physically. They need time to explore and an environment to do so and activities that will stimulate them. They have a natural creativity that has to be unleashed. That all being said, what about our inner child? Do we create a situation that our "little" us can thrive in or have we just shut it in the closet, feeding when necessary?

I think that freeing our inner child is akin to know our true selves. Simply that is it.

So let us take time to nurture the "little" us more, read more, contemplate more, enjoy more. We deserve it! Sprinkled with fairy dust of course!

Today's affirmation "I invest in myself by taking regular time to let go, play, and have fun."

Enjoy your Friday!

That's My Story and I Am Sticking To It!

Hello Fairy World Friends!

Onto a bright new day!

Today's card is Stand Your Ground. The card's main message is "The fairies ask you to make decisions based upon your honest feelings. Stick to these decisions, and don't allow outside decisions, and don't allow outside influences to cause you to waver."

Standing your ground is an equal to knowing yourself, your true self. I put it that way because we are all guilty of letting our egos act as our true selves. The more our egos are wounded, the more off kilter we become. So when we stand our ground, is it because we "know", the natural instinct or are we functioning from a place of ego that has to be right? Sometimes it is a hard distinction to make. At least I find it that way.

We have to make that split second decision every time where the origin of our feelings lie. Quite a task for sure, but it should get easier as we do it more.

I think that today's affirmation says it best, "I speak my truth powerfully and lovingly. I trust in my strong feelings, and stand my ground in following them."

Have a wonderful day sprinkled with fairy dust!

Forgiveness Revisited

Good Morning Fairy World Inhabitors!

Today we have a card we have seen before Whom Do You Need to Forgive? The main message of this card is "As you release old anger or resentment, you will find that your wishes will come true."

As I have mentioned we have seen this card before, in the post "5 Reasons for Forgiveness". In that post we covered the reasons why we should forgive, but some things are easier said than done, so let's talk about how to forgive.

• First, let's remember that your adversary is feeling nothing from your actions, but the resentment is building up in you so let it go!!
• Second, take a step back and look at the big picture. There were a lot of people that were around you supporting you, regardless of the resentment you felt or the moods that it caused. Be grateful for them and their support.
• Third, make a list of the blessings from this event. They might be things to remember in the future that you do not want to engage in or even a new facet of your personality that you were not aware of. Good things always emerge from the unpleasant and overshadow everything else if you let them.
• Fourth, be kind to yourself. You have bottled up pain for a long time and it hurts! Even when you come to the conclusion that you had a active part in the situation, don't berate yourself for it. Just learn from it.
• Fifth, when you come in contact with your adversary, mentally send them a blessing! It is calming and compassionate. Think to yourself "I send them blessings as they probably need it right now." At first it might be a little foreign or contrived but blessings are energy. And energy good or bad always finds it's way back to you. The more blessings you send, the more you receive!
• Sixth and finally those feelings that you have for your adversary are valid, but at that moment they are only yours and effect only you, initially. Don't let them define that moment because you might miss out on something better!

Whew! That was a lot of deep thinking!

So I leave you with this final thought..when in doubt send blessing and sprinkle them with fairy dust!

Have a great day!

We Have a Birthday!!!

Good Morning Fairy World Inhabitors!

We have a birthday today...sprinkled with fairy dust!! Irene, my Mom, our very own designer of those delightful fairy treasures is celebrating her birthday today! Happy Birthday Mom!!!

Today's card is Be Yourself. We have seen this card before in the post My True Self. Let's review what the main message is, "This situation calls for you to be your authentic self, which is the basis for your personal power."

In the previous post we talked about our authentic selves and that just being is probably the best course to take. Here are some additional thoughts...

The guide book suggests that we let our guards down and trust our feelings that the situation will improve. Well, that is a mighty tall order! It also tells us to trust our inner guidance.

I, myself am almost a pro at the inner guidance listening. The only thing that really trips me up is when my ego flares and tunes all else out. I am learning though. I guess it all takes time.

What about you? Do you follow that inner voice, tried and true, or do you push it away? That inner voice is you, you just have to learn to listen!

Well, I hope you enjoy your day in our Fairy World...sprinkled with fairy dust!

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!
