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!

The Movie In My Head......

Good Morning Fairy World Inhabitors!

I trust that you have had a wonderful few days since we last spoke.

Today's card from the Healing with the Fairies deck is Happily Ever After. The card's main message is "A happy outcome is assured. Relax any anxiety and feel secure that everything is resolved in the end."

The deck's guide book goes onto tell us that the movie in our heads, the one that we are currently starring in will have a happy ending! The one caveat is that we have to be positive that it is going to be that way. We essentially are the only ones that could ruin our own happy ending with negative thoughts and actions.

Do you know what this means? This is so huge! For me it means that I have many more happy years with my wonderful husband, a life that we both feel fulfilled in. That my children will grow and prosper and have fruitful lives of their own filled with happiness. That all of my family finds the joy and prosperity that they all so deserve and know that I love them. That all the creatures on earth find the peace and comfort that is promised to all of God's creatures. On smaller notes, I can stick to my new exercise program and my hair color will turn out okay!

Ahh who doesn't love a movie, especially with a happy ending? And to know what role we have to play in that movie, doesn't it make it that much more exciting? Just to think, we are the writer, producer, director and actors. The Fairies are script advisers. They encourage to keep that good parts going and nudge a little when it is going astray. And God. Well He is the really cool studio exec that oversees the whole project. He pretty much lets us run the whole show. He gives us guideance along the way but overall He just steps in when we have run the movie way, way off course!

So I am going back for more popcorn, sprinkled with Fairy Dust of course!

Enjoy your movie!


PS. Remember that each card in this deck has an affirmation? Today's is "Everything is in Divine and perfect order, right now."

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!

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!
