Magic and Fairy Dust...

We are back in the land of Magic and Fairy Dust

a land created by The Fairy God-Mother

aka me

Every year

for the past few

I have put on a luncheon for a group of 5

beautiful young girls

they are the daughters of some women in my life

and since I have no daughters of my own

I thought it would be fun to,

for one day,

be a mother of sorts....

A Fairy God-Mother 

to these girls...

watching them grow into vibrant young women

offering them a place to dream

to connect

to commune 

(the girl world is so different from the boy world

I love it!)

So

with the help of a sister-friend

we created a magical world

in which they could spend the day

playing dress up

dreaming

giggling

and talking

truly

it was magic...

the day ended with the heavens opening up

and sprinkling down rain

a fresh baptizing

bringing in the season of harvest

a season of magic

Love and Light

Mondays Offering...visuals of the weekend and a winner...

Happy Monday

(tuesday for some of my readers)

my lovelies!

it was an unusually busy weekend for me

and I am short of words

but abundant in visual

I thought I would share with you 

some of the magic I captured this weekend

one event was a 15th Colombian birthday

in Colombia the 15th birthday is held high

a time when a young girl becomes a woman

and it is marked with a grand lavish celebration

I was asked to document this Canadian "down played" version

of this celebration....

*

the other

 has the taste of Alice in Wonderland

only in this version 

there is a fairy-god-mother,

having no daughters of her own,

borrows 5 princess daughters 

belonging to some of the women

in her village

and once a year

takes them into a land

of magic and fairy dust....

*

so click on the music above (no words)

and enjoy a moment

in a land

where dreams do come true.
