Owning It

Good Morning Fairy World Inhabitors!

Hope your day will be all the you expect and more!

Today we talk a little more about the card Be Yourself. To review, this card's main message is "This situation calls for you to be your authentic self, which is the basis for your personal power."

In the past, when we have pulled this card we have explored who we really are and about letting our guard down and listening to our inner guidance. Today let's look at being ourselves creatively.

Working in a creative situation and expressing myself through it there is a fine line that you walk. You make things that you love and that are really different and yet sometimes they do not appeal to others. So you re-arrange, take a look at what others are doing and suddenly you are making your own copies of other peoples things. And you might sell a few more since they seem familiar, but not a huge amount. But not overwhelmingly so. At some point you stop and write the whole mess off as you just are not able to do something creatively in a successful manner. But what I don't think that we realize is that it was our attitudes that stopped the flow in the first place.

I believe that when we made our original item, we put it out there with a tentative vibe behind it. Like our announcement was "Here is my item, I think." Somehow we are so unsure and unable to "own" our creativity that we do not believe in it. So when we are not successful and we switch gears to a copy mode, that only does fairly well because still we are not really "owning" the item we are merely producing.

When we are talking about handmade things and sales, well it is true that people tend to flock to the familiar. But, the things that are familiar once were not. They were the new, out there, never been seen item, that had to grow on others. They were the item that when first made, somebody "owned". The creator's vibe was so strong and so proud that it just drew people to them and that item.

I guess it comes down to this, when we express ourselves, however that maybe we cannot be tentative about it. We have to own it. It is ours. It is not just something we did. It is our creation. It is us! We have to put it out there with confidence. And with that confidence we know that while all may not love your creativity they way you do, or even view it in the same manner, that is fine, because you know it is great!

I have an affirmation today, "Anything I create is wonderful because it is an expression of me!"

Have a great day and sprinkle the fairy dust, it enhances everything!

Have a Little Faith

Good Day!

I hope that all my fellow fairy world inhabitors are doing well today!

Today we have the card Business Venture. This card has a main meaning of "Trust and follow through on a new business idea or a career opportunity."

I love when we see this card. It is a reminder that it is "All Good." It is the reassurance that the professional choices that we have made will begin to come to fruition. We have made good choices.

I think that this card also serves as a reminder that we can take steps big or small when that "great idea" comes along to make things happen. It might be a simple as apply for another position in another department at work. Or it maybe signing up to sell for a direct sale, home party type company. Or it might even be deciding to offer a service part time out of your home. So you make a flyer and start handing them out. What ever that step is, it is a big one and Good For You for taking it!

This card reminds us about faith as well. As all good ideas are born somewhere either direct messages from the Universe about a specific thing or from a hint that the Universe gives that leads us in another direction. In either scenario it really takes faith to act. So again, Good For You!

Since it might seem with most things, the going might not be the easiest, seeing that our inspiration could be called Divine Intervention, the likelihood of some measure of success is almost guaranteed.

So now, fellow fairy world inhabitors let us march on, each with our own specific goal, following the rainbow to the pot of gold. There is enough for everyone! And sprinkle fairy dust along the way, so the ones that follow behind have a sparkly adventure as well!

Have a great day!

Paging Patience

Good Morning Fairy World!

It is Friday! Yeah! Getting ready for the 3 day weekend!

Today's card is Patience, Please. This card's main message is "What you're asking for is coming about. Have patience, as there are unseen factors that need to occur first."

They say that patience is a virtue. And good things come to those who wait. These are both very good philosophies, but boy are they hard to master!

I guess we encounter the need for patience from birth. We have to learn to wait for the birthdays, the arrival of Santa Claus and being bigger to do the next cool thing that we want to do. And the waiting is never easy. It is long and drawn out and okay, torture on some level. But really what other choice to we have to do but wait?

There is a flipside to all that though. Having patience pays off. Always. When does your birthday never come? When is there a time that Santa doesn't visit your house on Christmas Eve? And that special thing, the activity that was soo cool that you could not wait to be big enough for, did it happen? And if it did not, didn't something better occur?

Patience is the time when the silver lining in our clouds get polished so that they gleam brighter than ever! Patience is not only the rainbow after the storm, but it is the pot of gold as well!

So when we we see this card and we are reminded of patience we are also reminded of the reward for that patience!

Have a great day and add extra fairy dust!

Nature is Calling

Hello Fairy World Inhabitors!

The weather has been beautiful in our neck of the woods and I hope that it has been the same for you. Although I believe that we are moving straight into summer. Here is Chicago we seem to be a 2 season town, winter and summer. Spring and fall are just rumors really!

So today's card is Connect with Nature. The card's main message is "You're rejuvenated and inspired by spending time outdoors."

This card could not have come at a better time!

As I have said it has been beautiful out. We have had our lawn cut three weeks in a row and it looks like a carpet overall. Lush and green. My peonies are sprouting up and already have buds on them promising some wonderful flowers in the coming weeks.

I look forward to planting my vegetable garden and enjoy the fruits of my labor. (I hope!)

The world of nature is so grand, how could you knot be inspired? I watch all the lush colors as things come to life and it sends my senses singing!

So take time, plant some plants, walk barefoot in the grass and enjoy all that nature has to give!

Have a wonderful day and sprinkle the fairy dust around, it makes the morning dew extra sparklie!

Don't Worry ...Be Happy

Hello Fairy World Inhabitors!

What a great day this is going to be!

Today's card is Everything's Okay. The card main message is "Don't worry it's all working out in a beautiful way!"

So what is this all about? I think the greatest lesson is that we have to look for the gift in any situation. Because there has to be one.

If work is not going right, maybe we have to look for other job training or another department. Business not going well, maybe it is time to rethink you products. Relationship not going right, this is the time to learn and enhance communication. There is always a solution and a gift in the answer.

So let's take advice from the song "Don't Worry, Be Happy" by Bobby McFerrin
In your life expect some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry be happy

No doubling up for this girl! Are you with me?!?!

Let's write an affirmation for today "I live a life of ease as I have no worries."

Have a worry free day!

Dancin' in the Streets...

"Dancin' in the Streets" Martha and the Vandellas 1964, number 7 on Entertainment Weekly's top 100 best songs about summer. Why does this matter today? Let's look at today's card....

Summer!

This card's main message is "Everything you have been asking for becomes yours in the summertime."

So what does this tell us? The guidebook suggests that we have been giving a lot of thought to our dreams and desires (we have been putting our orders in) and now in summer we will see the reality of those dreams come true.

And when that happens we will be DANCIN IN THE STREETS!

So get the sunscreen ready and prepare yourself for an awesome summer.

Until then, have a great day and sprinkle the fairy dust. (I told you it was working!)

Ordering...

Good Morning Fairy World Inhabitors.

Welcome to Monday! I know that it is going to be a super week!

Today's card is Ask For What You Want. The card's main message tell us, "Let the Universe and other people know what you need."

So the guide book suggests that our wants are like ordering food. It does not appear until we place the order. And we should not place our order until we really know what we are hungry for!

So what do we really want? What does our "order" reflect in our lives?

I could list a whole bunch of things, this or that, but to me the essence of it all is this. I am putting in my order for all living things finding peace and comfort.

An affirmation that I have written for today is, "All I need is given to me, I just need to ask."

Enjoy your day, this begining of the week and sprinkle it with fairy dust!
