Faery Tale: The Book, Part Four

Faery Tale: The Book

“An honest, funny, and deeply moving story of a dreamy realist who eventually discovers that there is magic in the simple act of believing.  Anyone who’s ever seen something curious out of the corner of their eye, heard the million whispers of trees, or checked under their bed looking for more than dust bunnies will thrill to Signe Pike’s Faery Tale.”

—Cathy Alter, author of Up for Renewal: What Magazines Taught Me About Love, Loss, and Starting Over

Magic in the simple act of believing. Do you believe that's true?

"'Well, really,' she said simply, 'It's entirely about trust.' I waited for her to continue. 'You're searching, for what? I don't think you're really sure. But you're here, and I think right now, you're having to teach yourself how to trust again. That's where the real magic lies. To find what you're looking for, you've got to learn to trust." (p.75)

SO true!!

I have LOVED sharing this book with you and hope you will decide to read it for yourself. If you do, let me know what you think of it.

Have a great day!

Wishing Wand Wednesday: How Did Your Month Go?

Wishing Wand Wednesday

Once upon a time, I wanted my very own magic wand...

Influenced by Samantha Stevens, Jeannie and her handsome Major, and Cinderella's own fairy godmother, I wanted my own way to make wishes come true. And then, I discovered that wishes really can come true (it can happen to you).

And I found Jamie Ridler! Most Wednesdays, Jamie suggests that we make wishes and she offers a prompt to help us do so. If we post our answers on our own blogs, we can link up to the wishcasting party on her website.

So I decided to have my own wishing extravaganza here, and even if she takes a week off or two, will still offer to send out energy on your behalf, wishing along with you for whatever you'd like to create in your life. And I have my very own wishing wand...

I am still wishing right along with you, by the way! This month, I have two...

(1) I am working on some writing projects and my wish is for inspiration, sustained energy, and writing skill.

Update: I am close to completing one project and doing well with the other! Thanks for wishing with me.

(2) I am also trying to improve my health my eating better and getting more rest. Rest is hard for me, as I've confessed before, and so is giving up some of my fave comfort foods. So my second wish is for healthier eating, deeper sleep and rejuvenating rest.

Update: Still having some health challenges and I am still working on making those changes. I appreciate your company in the wishing.

What are your wishes this week? And how have you done this month with making your wishes come true?

Have a great day!

Faery Tale: The Book, Part Three

Faery Tale: The Book

“Finding happiness is an adventure that everyone should take and Faery Tale inspires you to go on that journey.”

–Lucy Danziger, Editor-in-Chief of SELF Magazine and author of New York Times bestseller The Nine Rooms of Happiness

"Where can we go in our daily lives to feel the things we need to feel? To feel the soothing balm of faith? To feel loved? Safe? Happy? What about hopeful?" (p.13)

That's what my faith gives to me, and when I read it, I understood that that is what I had been searching for. You know that U2 song that says, "but I still haven't found what I'm looking for!" That has resonated with me since the song came out but I don't feel that way anymore.

Do you have a faith or spiritual practice that connects you to those things?

Have a great day!

Hopefully, as we go along each week, I'll let you know how it's going.But if I don't, that might mean it isn't going so well, so wish harder. :)

Faery Tale: The Book, Part Two

Faery Tale: The Book

“It’s hard to decide what is more enchanting, Signe Pike’s charming writing or the magical world she uncovers. This is a book for hopeful skeptics and believers alike. Proceed with caution, because Faery Tale may cast a spell that transforms the way you see the world forever.”

—Jillian Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of Some Girls: My Life in a Harem

"How would we look at one another, treat one another, if each of us recognized that inside every man or woman is a little boy or girl who loves popcorn, is still afraid of monsters under the bed, or believes that fairy tales really do come true? Maybe we would treat each other with more kindness, more carefully, more respectfully." (p.8)

That's the world I want to live in, frankly! I've missed it. But I finally decided to create it for myself and it's going very well.

What if you believed that fairy tales could come true?

Have a great day!

Faery Tale: The Book

Faery Tale: The Book

*squeal*

Each week this month, I will be sharing this wonderful book with you!

I fell in love with it even before I began to read it. She is such a great writer that it was hard to put the book down.

This book chose me when a group of friends decided to start a faerie book club and picked this book as the very first one we would read. What appealed to me about the book is that Signe starts writing the book as a faerie skeptic who longs to recover magic and faith. The book is the story of her journey and what happens as she determines to find faeries one way or another.

She is hilarious and I highly recommend it!! Can't wait to share more about it with you next week.

Have a great day!

Celtic Reverie

Celtic Reverie

Thanks to Lynne Wilson for sharing this music! As you may know, I took time last month to rest, and it was a powerful month.

May is a month of abundance, so I spent a great deal of time working spiritually and magically to lay a foundation for abundance to unfold.

And, also, I rested. The results are that I am waking up earlier and with more energy and sleeping more during the night. Not quite enough yet, but more.

So I will be working on rest this month as well. Really, a change in lifestyle is called for, and I intend to dive in with gusto, if possible. More time for tea and contemplation, a slower pace, great reading and beautiful music.

Building my business, but without the anxiety and pressure of the mad dash and the insistent "hurry up!" that pounds inside. More of an unfolding, just like the abundance I have planned. In fact, they are wrapped up together.

Anyway, I want to share some music with you this month, among other things I have discovered that are helping me create the life I want. Let me know if it inspires you, too.

Have a great day!
