BELIEVE........

There is a truth and innocence that is experienced  when we believe in something with all of our heart. I have been given the opportunity to  share this youthful emotion, because of two little girls that simply believed in me.

My two daughters became very intrigued by fairies after they watched A Fairy Tale.  Their belief and inspiration seemed to become strengthened through the desire to be a part of something magical.   The two of them decided to build a fairy garden much like the girls in A Fairy Tale did. 

The two of them became very focused and determined to have a magical place for their fairies to come........and step by step, they soon had built a  beautiful little fairy garden that continues to flourish.  I must say that their fairy garden is quite inviting and is lit with lanterns and dragonflies at night. Rocks with words like grow, wish and believe surround the floral blooms. They have a special love for ladybugs in the garden and even have a bridge named ladybug crossing.

Maurelle is the fairy who  lives in our fairy garden.  She is a moon fairy and brings nightfall to our world.  After all, every fairy has a talent that provides us with something  magical.  The girls got a little inquisitive and left a letter full of questions in the fairy garden mailbox.  A few days later, they received a response.....from Maurelle.  Each day they check the garden for activity and to see if any visitors have arrived to spend  some time, such as the other day we had a caterpillar visiting for a bit.  We only see slight signs of our fairy, we watch for new things she adds to the fairy garden, oh and of course we know that she  has been there when there is glitter in the outhouse :)

I want this to be a teaching to my children and part of it is a learning experience for myself as well.  How to believe in something you cannot see teaches us to have faith and unconditional love, which in turn gives us security.   The fact is, when children feel secure  and know that you will always be there for them, they flourish.  When your child knows they are loved and will be loved no matter what mistakes are made, they will not be afraid to spread their wings and fly.  This enchanting world my children have built keeps my heart happy.  Their excitement is captivating and magnetic.  It produces wonder and gives faith. 

It makes it possible to share their kindred spirit because I simply believe!
