I love me, 28 days of true love. Day 7

I love me, 28 days of true love. 

So how did you enjoy your day of doing nothing or doing whatever you want to do because you could do nothing. The truth of the matter is is that I got in my head for a little bit As I was hoping that I was reaching people in other countries and it turns out that one of my friends said,  you're probably getting spammed.  I said no I don't think so and she looked at me with raised eyebrows and said yes you probably are getting spammed.  It was like telling me that I'm not getting the doll that I thought I was getting at Christmas. 

That has happened to me, has that happened to you? 

My feeling went rather droopy and I pouted so I decided I was going to do nothing... Which did me good because now I am up and running again.  I have to confess I wrote a poem for myself instead of a Love letter.  My poems are always rather dark so I don't know how much love there was And yet I always feel so creative because the words just come out of me.  I'm counting it!!!

Day 7

Today is going to consist of taking pictures. whether it's with your iPhone, any smartphone, a camera, take pictures!! 

What do little kids love to do? 

Take pictures!!  And they're very good at it. Take pictures of whatever you like.  Post them, scrapbook them, keep them on your phone to laugh at later.  Make sure that you take pictures of yourself and with your friends too. We all do it at special places and all kinds of events, however, children just click away.  They click at you taking their picture which sends them into voracious laughter.  Great big he he he's, and ha ha ha's come up from their little bellies.

Taking pictures is about being  "in the moment", totally present.  Take pictures of your pets, wildlife, and you'll have this little moment, of this day, to look back on knowing that you were completely present with that inner child.  It will put what we love the most, that big cheesy grin on your face.

********
Keeping smiling.
Tell yourself how fantastic you are in the mirror.
Read your love letter.
Do nothing because you can.
Let someone you love know you're thinking of them.

Enjoy your pictures.

A Fairy Tale by Stregapandora

Today is the spring equinox and aren’t we lucky to have such a nice sunny day to celebrate. Why yes we are, seeming as it is a month early, however if you look around the crocus are starting to poking their little heads up out of the ground.
Now, you might be feeling a little bit of cabin fever; of course it started out over the weekend with a nice push from the leprechauns’. So everyone asks what do you do for the equinoxes? Let us integrate our fairies. Are they easy to find? Typically? NO. That doesn’t mean you can’t go on a hunt for them. Between today and tomorrow is a good time for a celebration. (You know, we don’t have to do everything all within a few hours)

You can start out today with lovely meal for yourself and maybe your friends as well. It’s all about celebrating the earth's rebirth and maybe you can even save some of that yummy food (hopefully it would be bits of cookies maybe a little wine and don’t forget to grab the glitter) and make those your offerings. Now, where do you put these things your offering? Go outside and look for the big old trees with big old knots. Those are going to be the big old boys or the good old girls and if you see the knotted ones, around there is where the fairies will live.


Remember though, It’s only at midsummer when you will have an absolutely magical time being able to see the Fairies.

Someone asked me today if there is a difference between pixies and fairies. Well, the pixies will do hard work for us and fairies simply love to play. If you choose to invite them into your space ask them for what you need and barter only one thing for another, meaning oats for barley. If you leave them little clothes they will take them and run away for now you’ve paid them in kind.
Paint your face with glitter all over and this will make you feel magical too.



If you want to make magical food stir in magical intents.
I have a great recipe using the best new greens of the spring.
